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…
What they were answering

Yup the best bit is when Sales completely ratfuck you then scream at you to resolve there mess. I've called their bluff a few times on this and said "go ahead but X in but it won't work and you will never get another contract from <HUGE CUSTOMER> again", tends to shut them up.
There should be a special place in hell for IT sales. I'm not kidding when one of them had to take me white boarding something at kindergarten level (because techs can get too techy, I'm quite good at presenting)to explain how radio waves travel as to why what they were trying to sell was a really bad idea. All because of there damn "Alpha as fuck" superiority complex where everything is a competition.

Ohh yeah, sales are the worst. They usually have no technical knowledge of what they are selling, and just tell the implementation team to make it work later. That's why I was brought onto a lot of sales meetings with customers. The sales guys I was helping would always have the customer show me the proposal from the competition, and have me pick apart why it would not work, or was wasting money. I had no shame calling people out on their bullshit. Be alpha as fuck all you want in front of me. Honey badger don't give a shit. He just keeps on eating bees and killing cobras. That's the advantage to be a contractor. I would have shot myself if I had to be an employee in one of those companies, and just take all the BS.
