Recently recieved via PM:
Hi, <U.S Network, tv show> wants to follow someone experimenting with nootropics and/or cognitive enhancement methods to elevate their brain. Are you about to test an experiment or do you have a deadline approaching and you want to be at your best? If you are interested please email me ASAP. <production company email> Thanks.
Now asdie from the usual warnings i gave that came true when auntie from the BBC came to visit this sub look at the wording:
Are you about to test an experiment or do you have a deadline approaching and you want to be at your best?
Now which nootropics provide any real instant effects? Phenylpiracetam does, some would argue noopept but most require weeks.
Now which substances give some effect instantly? Modifinal and Ritalin. Given this network I would look more at Ritalin as the likely one they want to "Investigate". I would advise people to not speak to the media, there have been several hatchet jobs over the years and one in the last month.
This is the reply I made to the BBC, I was later proven right. Rem…

Just follow /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb around for a month. Should be enough drama for a good doc there.

Hell, follow me around for a week, and you'd have enough drama for a documentary. No way in hell I would allow that, though. There is no upside; only downsides. There is a reason I refuse to speak to reporters that approach me, save for very limited instances. The moment I start bringing mainstream attention to things, is the moment I lose control over the tone of the message. There will be a time and place for mainstream attention. Now is not that time.
