Searching for Experts on Nootropics to Give Talk

I'm not trying to offend you. I just notice small structural elements to people's writing styles, and found yours to be quite unique. I find many aspects of life interesting; whereas others simply overlook. There is a lot one can tell about a person's personality and thought process, by interpreting the method in which they convey their thoughts into words.

This is how I would have written your comment:

I have to agree with this. I've always seen nootropics as a kind of web based sub-culture; almost pseudo-science or "broscience" as others have called it. That's not to say it's not interesting and/or valuable... The subculture could blossom into something else in the future. Perhaps better testing could be done. One thing that concerns me about scientific literature is that the models are so different and diverse; usually not looking at cognitive enhancement itself. Nootropics are always byproducts of unrelated science. I would love to see real science done, but it is actually a hard thing to do. However, I think it would be interesting to see a lecture about the subculture, and the growing phenomenon of internet based drug research. I've mentioned before that this is becoming a kind of cloud-based scheduled testing. However weird or absurd that seems, it lacks serious scientific controls. So it's hard to see that represented at TedX... That being said, I don't know about TedX being so closed. I mean, I was reading all this furor over the Graham Hancock "War on Consciousness" talk, and the whole psychedelic subculture is a similar kind of thing to the nootropic scene. People may be shocked that I even think that, but the parallels are obvious to me. Again, that's not to say something can't be garnished from either of these vibrant communities. They're both onto something, and unfortunately traditional science isn't keeping up with the fast moving, albeit poorly done, internet 'bro' science. They seem quite far behind, actually... I like the subcultures. You just have to view them with a skeptical eye, and stuff needs to be read with scientific filters.
