this btw is why we now see some of the TPOT rationalists microdosing street meth as a substitute. also that they're idiots, of course.

somehow this man still has a medical license

    It reads like adderall bravado to me. From the beginning where he’s confident that his patient’s colleagues are already on it.

      I would first presume Scott's just like that, and just naturally tends to rambling logorrhea on the order of 10k words a week. I certainly wouldn't post an assumption of any sort of malfeasance on his part, except to the degree even posting this thing that a subculture took as its starting pistol to speed out of their stupid little heads is.

        As a matter of opinion, I gotta say our brief new friend the other day did give me flashbacks to the one time I interacted with Siskind, even if it’s just that Siskind’s particular style of incoherent personally afflicted grandeur only happens to correlate with how pill heads express theirs

          I certainly wouldn't post from England and Wales that a medical doctor was in any way abusing a medication. So I would first presume Dr Siskind is just like this.

            That’s basically what I mean. A fun thing to do in rehab, for example, is to try and figure out who’s still withdrawing and who is just like that

      Though I’ve not read anything else of his. So could be his regular bravado. Or he could be on a permanent adderall bender.
