I'm not lazy, it's society that's manically hyperactive.

You know... I meant that as a sort of joke, but it actually isn't too far from the truth. Some manic-obsessive individuals set the tone, and some places are worse than others, South Korea being most famous for it.

How's life in south Korea? Is what people say true?

It's lile that ozinger game but more subtle.

Oof sorry, I meant squid game.

Does this mean people in South Korea are being put through strange and narrowly limited rules set of tasks for the entertainment of the masses?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, not for the entertainment of masses. They are put into extreme competition just to live, though. Like, "someone must die for you to live well".

War never changes, taking from others for your own shallow benefit instead of living holistically. It's a bad habit that is too easy to fall into

There's a reason tech workers and college students in demanding degrees are all on Adderall (aka amphetamines).

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is likely largely untrue, and many, if they are, are not getting what they think they are.

If you know someone who takes Adderall without a prescription, encourage them to stop. Leave it for people who need it.

A number of clinical trials have shown improved academic and occupational cognitive performance using psychostimulants in therapeutic doses. This includes improved inhibitory control, memory recall, and awakefulness. Some studies have even shown a measurable (4-5 points) increase in performance when taking an IQ test.
