No "Smart" Drugs Actually Make You Smarter... Everything Advertised on TV is BOGUS! Except Coffee... and That's Why Billions of People Drink Coffee, Tea and Green Tea!


My personal Experience: I owned a Chess Computer that Played at Different Skill Levels... On Coffee I was able to beat the Computer on Higher Levels. Every Other Drug made me Play Worse. I Tested This with Marijuana, Alcohol and LSD. 

However... Some Creative Efforts are Enhanced by the Use of Drugs... For Example: The Beatles, Pink Floyd and The Moody Blues made Records Stating "This is What It Feels Like to Get Stoned" - Books Written about the Opium Experience include Alice in Wonderland and Many of the Edgar Allen Poe Mysteries... Authors Phillip K Dick and Jack Kerouac typed their books while on Amphetamines...

and then there is the Grateful Dead... Was That The Deployment of The CIA's Project MKULTRA? Just to Find Out what would Happen if Millions of Americans Took LSD... and then to Use Mind Control as a Culture War Weapon...  For Example: a Deadhead Might Say: "Protest Against The War in Vietnam? No Thanks, Man... I want to Dance for Peace Instead..."

The Allegory of the Cave by Plato:

I have not tried any of the So Called Smart Drugs... 
Prevagen & Neuriva are Heavily Advertised on TV but Reviews from Actual Doctors Say They Don't Work.

Instead of taking dietary supplements for brain health, Dr. Petersen and the Global Council on Brain Health recommend that people focus on three things that are proven to help reduce the risk of dementia: regular exercise, diet and intellectual stimulation.

Overall, there is a large body of evidence that maintaining healthy vitamin C levels can have a protective function against age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease, but avoiding vitamin C deficiency is likely to be more beneficial than taking supplements on top of a normal, healthy diet.


Barry Gordon, MD says there's "no strong evidence" that any of the supplements now being sold for their supposed memory-boosting powers are helpful.
Almost everyone uses a nootropic, whether they know it or not, says D'Adamo. He's talking about caffeine, and while it can have health risks if you overdo it, this natural stimulant has been shown to improve thinking skills. It doesn't simply make you feel more alert, says D'Adamo: Caffeine also gives you more access to several chemicals (neurotransmitters) in your brain such as acetylcholine, which helps with short-term memory and learning.

L-theanine: This supplement seems to enhance the mental effects of caffeine and counteract caffeine-induced jitteriness, D'Adamo says. Research has shown that combining caffeine and L-theanine may help you multitask better. The safest way to get this combo is by drinking pure green tea, which contains both caffeine and L-theanine, but it's also OK to combine your usual coffee or tea with an L-theanine supplement.

Prevagen Fraud Lawsuit - Bogus Memory Enhancement is FAKE

However... Exercising Your Brain Has Been Shown to Improve Mental Health... Playing JEOPARDY! and Wheel of Fortune on TV, Doing Crossword Puzzles, Reading, Writing... Doing Math without a Calculator... AARP Even Has Special Brain Games!

and Now for Something Completely Different!

I find it interesting that BIG PHARMA is having a Battle with Republican Judges... The Texas Judge said "The Abortion Pill" is Now Illegal... And the Drug Company that sells it said: NO! Protect Our Profits! - as a Side Note: "The Abortion Pill" is the Number One way people perform Abortions... and all that Freaking Out over Roe V Wade was... about a Procedure that almost no one actually uses... HUH


How to Reduce Plastic Waste. Simple Actions Anyone Can Do. #1. Never Buy Bottled Water. Filter Tap Water Instead.

Here's the Consumer Reports Guide of Filters that Remove Pollution from Tap Water... 

https://www.consumerreports.org/home-garden/water-filters/

Did You Ever Notice that Water Bottled in Plastic TASTES like Plastic?  That's Plastic Going Into Your Body... 

Of Course, If You Shower in Toxic Waste Water... That's a Problem too... Your Skin Absorbs the Poison... That's Why a Whole House Filter is Best... Contact Your Local Plumber for advice and installation... or MOVE to a Safer Neighborhood. 

#2. Stop Drinking Coke... It's often packaged in Plastic Bottles... So is Pepsi, RC Cola, Mountain Dew and Generic Cola... I personally LOVE the HIGH I Get from Caffeine and Sugar... Especially when driving a car long distances! That's FUN! 

However... It is Possible to Simply Take Those Two Drugs without Dissolving them in a Flavored and Carbonated Beverage... TRY COFFEE... I Remember putting Brown Sugar and Nutmeg in a Cup of Coffee at the Coffee Shop and I FELT OPTIMISTIC! Buzzing Like a Bee and Enthusiastic About Life! Whee! 

Or Drink TEA... Or Drink Fruit Juice Made from a Concentrate... Avoid the Plastic Bottles!

Of Course, Caffeine is sold at the drug store in PILL Form... Especially Interesting is the Combo Pills with Aspirin, Acetaminophen and 65 mg Caffeine... Pain Relievers and Stimulant... Keep taking those and You'll end up driving from San Jose to Seattle... Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Myth of Plastic Recycling... 
For many, recycling feels like a tangible way to personally combat climate change and to positively affect the environment. That's partially because of decades of public environmental campaigns, advertisements and even school education aimed at increasing recycling. But the reality is that only a small fraction of plastic is ultimately recycled...

I recently Got an Email showing me the Ecological Awareness Artwork of Benjamin Von Wong...

"There’s something really interesting about the idea that someone can make a living off of creating something that has no value except the value people associate to it." 


#3. Notice the Plastic Crap you consume and Simply Buy Less of it. I own an iPhone 6 and It Does Everything I Want a Phone to Do... "THEY" Keep on telling me to Buy a NEW IMPROVED Model... TV Ads Promoting the iPhone 14 and YET... I'm Already Happy... Why Buy More Plastic Crap? 

I own a Toshiba Laptop but the Hard Disk Drive Failed and... It made more sense to Replace the Entire Machine with a Chromebook than have the Hard Drive Fixed or Replaced... and the Chromebook Doesn't Have a Hard Drive so it's Impossible that the Hard Drive will fail... 

#4. Stop buying music CDs... Everything is available online for Free on Youtube... so... stop buying Plastic Ware! 

#5. Buy High Quality Tools that Last a Lifetime... I Have an Yamaha Acoustic Guitar and It Will Still be Wonderful 50 Years from Now... Look at Willie Nelson's Trigger... 

#6. I watch Kids Cartoons on TV and The Advertisements Aimed at Children Promote Endless Streams of Plastic Crap...  My Grandfather Make a Toy Train Set out of Wood and My Brother and I Both played with it... His Daughters Played with it... and His Grand Daughters Played with it... 

The Plastic Crap Toys are designed to break, be thrown away... and then the Parents need to buy MORE MORE MORE!

#7. Plastic Knives, Forks, Spoons, Plates and Cups... REALLY! Simply Use Real Utensils and Wash 'em... My Great Grandmother Got Engraved Silverware for her Wedding and We Still Have It...

Great Book: "Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right" by Arlie Russell Hochschild - and - WHAT IS BUBBLE UP ECONOMICS AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

an anthropological study of White people in the South... The author is a professor at UC Berkeley who went to Louisiana and interviewed "Tea Party" members in order to understand their ideas, minds, outlook on life...

https://www.amazon.com/Strangers-Their-Own-Land-Mourning/dp/1536684937 
In Strangers in Their Own Land, the renowned sociologist Arlie Hochschild embarks on a thought-provoking journey from her liberal hometown of Berkeley, California, deep into Louisiana bayou country - a stronghold of the conservative right. As she gets to know people who strongly oppose many of the ideas she famously champions, Hochschild nevertheless finds common ground and quickly warms to the people she meets, among them a Tea Party activist whose town has been swallowed by a sinkhole caused by a drilling accident - people whose concerns are actually ones that all Americans share: the desire for community, the embrace of family, and hopes for their children.

What IS Bubble UP Economics and How Does it Work? Simply Raise the Minimum Wage to Fifteen Dollars an Hour and Raise all Social Security Checks 15%. Then all Those people will spend the extra money in their paychecks at American Businesses. Increasing Profits. Making Stockholders Happy! Then those businesses will have to hire more people to handle the extra Customers. Decreasing Unemployment Insurance Payments. Everybody WINS! With EMPLOYMENT AT A JOB becoming a Viable Alternative to Selling Drugs for a Street Gang, Some teenagers will choose Employment... Reducing CRIME... Reducing Costs for Prisons... Reducing Costs for Law Enforcement... People will buy more food for their Children. Causing Better Health and Smarter Kids... Starvation is Not Good for Children's Brains... Farmers will sell More. Truckers will move more merchandise to stores. Increased Competition for Workers will cause Everybody's Wages to Go Up. All those Workers will pay more in Income Taxes... That would make the Government happy... Right NOW, we are having a National Debt Ceiling Crisis because the Government is Spending More that it Takes in with Taxes... Bubble UP Economics would reverse that trend... The Money Bubbles UP Through Every Layer of Society... With a rising tide, every boat floats! We Tried Ronald Reagan's "Voodoo" Economics and It Has Failed... "People" Say That Bubble UP! Economics WILL MAKE Employers LAY OFF Workers... However... Employers HAVE ALREADY LAID OFF EVERYONE THEY POSSIBLY CAN... Have you Ever Seen a Business where People Work There but Have Nothing To DO? Never! 

Who Could Possibly be Opposed to the JOY of Bubble UP! Economics? Well, there are people in this world that have COMPULSIVE HOARDING OF MONEY SYNDROME. It's a Mental Health Disease just Like The Crazy Cat Lady...

I went to Humboldt State University. I RECOMMEND IT To All Californians... First of all, You May take out Student Loans and Live WORK FREE for Four Years... FAFSA - The Loans paid enough to Pay rent and Tuition and Food and Gas for my little white truck... ZERO EMPLOYMENT - FREEDOM FROM WAGE SLAVERY

and Then I was Instantly Hired at a Government Job Working for the County of Humboldt.  At The Highest Rate of Pay I Ever Earned. I Put my Student Loans on Automatic Pay from my Paychecks and Was All Paid Off in Six Years... Yep... I Got a Clean Safe Job working in the Welfare Department Determining IF People Should be Paid Welfare, Food Stamps and Medical Benefits... 

Of Course, This Entire System Depends on Graduating in a Practical Major... I Studied Computer Information Systems and There is Plenty of Work for US... I Made Sure that I Didn't Smoke any Marijuana because Doing Homework and Attending Class is Impossible While Stoned.

I was Lucky Enough to Live in Chico, California for about Six Years... 1973-74 I went to college... and then DREAMED of Returning During the Eighties and Nineties... and then Moved Back in 1998-2001... But Then We Escaped the HEAT for Fifteen Years in Eureka and Arcata... Now THAT'S An EPIC Place to Live... After I Graduated, I Immediately Got a Job With The County of Humboldt Government. They Had a Tendency to Hire All HSU Graduates. "Hey, If You Can Put Up With The University Education System for Four Years... We Have a Place for You at Our Office!" was the Slogan. 

I took Journalism at HSU. I was a Computer Science Major and as an Elective I Worked on the Lumberjack Newspaper. I Wrote Seven Articles and Uploaded a Hundred Photographs for Everyone to Use in Their Articles. My Guidance Councilor, Dr. Harold Campbell, Recommended That I Take That Class Because They Were Creating the Very First Online Edition of the Newspaper. The Class Had 20 Journalism Majors and Five Computer Science Majors. We Were There to Help Them Accomplish Their Mission. Dr. Campbell Said That This Would be Good Work Experience to Help Non- Computer People Get Stuff Done...
