Anabolic/androgenic steroids as a nootropic?

I'm considering using steroids as a nootropic. I want to recapture the drive, motivation, and vitality I had a few years ago. Body builders say they feel invincible on an AAS cycle. Youthful energy and enthusiasm is precisely what I'm lacking.
I'm going to do this carefully and responsibly. I'm having my blood tested to establish my baseline testosterone level. Then I'm going to inject a therapeutic dose of testosterone enanthate on a biweekly basis and see what happens. I'll use an aromatase inhibitor to keep estrogen under control. The risk seems minimal and the benefits could be enormous.

It has been totally safe for me to take, and has had very strong cognitive benefits. While it doesn't seem to increase memory, it can significantly improve motivation, anxiety, energy, and reaction time. Sex drive also goes through the roof.

I find that nootropics are being increasingly more subsumed into the broader self-improvement spectrum for some neophytes and newcomers to the scene. Some people aren't too far ahead of coming into the sub expecting to find nootropics for dick enlargement, and I'm not even hyperbolizing.

She categorizes nootropics as some sort of sub-par stimulants, try-hard facsimiles of Modafinil, inveighing against their presumptuous benefits. She even has the bravado to suggest that we're being coerced by the pharmaceutical industry to buy nootropics as a means of self-medicating by our allegedly self-perceived "deficiencies".

There are a lot of articles out there that are just fluff nonsense meant to generate clicks. Since the community has grown, more and more of these hacks come out of the woodwork to try and capitalize on something they see as a trend; where that be by creating a "new" nootropic stack, or writing articles to generate clicks and get affiliate commissions. It happens in every industry as it grows. There is not much anyone can do about it, save for trying to set the right example, and trying to educate people on the realities of things. Controversy and hyperbole sell. This is why we see so much of it out there. It's a shame, but is part of the modern world.
