Hmmm... those are straight forward calculations for the most part. Try taking some graduate level thermodynamic/fluid dynamic classes where you have to set up a problem, make assumptions as to the nature of the solution, and then solve with either A) emperical equations or B) analytical ones. Somestimes you'll go about solving a problem and then you'll have to know when to use a power series representation to simplify a more complex equation.

Take available endless budget, subtract enough for
› caffeine 200 mg, 2x (breakfast and lunch)
› ginkgo biloba 100 mg, 2x (breakfast and lunch)
› omega 3-6-9 1000 mg, 3x (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
and send the rest to an organization you think will bring about affordable brain-computer interfacing the quickest. [thumb]

I do know that there are many examples of chemical injuries to the brain that take decades to become apparent. Do a bit of research into the speculated causes of Parkinson's or Alzheimer's.

I am personally much more interested in substances that can prolong lifespan. If I can live long enough dramatic cognition increases through a variety of means should become possible.
Amen. I take a modest number of nootropics and have for almost two decades. If forced to choose between only nootropics or only diet/lifestyle/supplements targeted on longevity, I would opt for the latter instantly.
I looked over the "stack" in this topic lead post with amazement. Very interesting. I wonder how such a stack would fare under the scrutiny of objective double blind testing. I have my suspicions, but they aren't based on anything concrete.
You see, one thing most people don't know, but should know, is that 99% of drugs that are in the nootropic category, are harmless even in gargantuan doses.
I've never seen one study, anywhere that looked at the safety of such a stack. Data = nada on the question of safety. I do know that there are many examples of chemical injuries to the brain that take decades to become apparent. Do a bit of research into the speculated causes of Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. I am in no way suggesting that such a stack is dangerous. I would love to hear the reasoning that it is safe. Every additional xenobiotic you add to a stack increases, by an order of magnitude, the chances for an unforseen interaction. The overwhelming percentage of unforseen interactions are not positive. Such a stack would have to have some amazing documented benefits to make the unknown risk worth accepting to me.

Anyway, as I've stated I'm much more interested in anti-aging substances. I think old-fashioned stimulants have a greater noticeable effect than nootropics. I notice when I pop a caffeine pill. The effects of nootropics seem to be quite subtle. I'd be interested in giving something like modafinil a try(btw, anyone have any experience with this?). It is, after all, a more specific kind of stimulant.
Don't get me wrong. I don't think nootropics would kill me or permanently harm me. I probably will take nootropics again. Just not for some time. I think nootropics can do quite a bit for age related mental decline. I've been trying to get my grandfather to try some. However I'm in my prime, and I have no problem doing linear algebra, or complex physics. The only reason I took them in the first place was because of the possibility of reaching some grand new plateau of cognition. That did not happen, so for me, currently, they are a waste of money

I am sorry to hear that Elrond. I have only been taking nootropics (like -cetams) for like 2+ weeks. I totally feel a difference in clarity.

Disclaimer:
For 99% this EXACT stack will NOT work for you. I by no means recommend immediately starting this regimen.
Have a full blood workup performed and analysed by a qualified health professional before starting any new regimen (that is CBC, differential, platlet count, comprehensive metabolic panel, and full lipid panel).
