Has taking nootropics changed the way you perceive reality?

Has your nootropic use changed the way you perceive or react to reality? Has it changed your understanding of reality as a concept as well?
For example, I’ve noticed that I have been a lot more confident in general after taking Phenibut or phenylethylamine, even after I stopped taking it. I used to be insecure and think that people were making fun of me. I guess after trying those nootropics, I realized that there was more ways to perceive the current moment than what I was used to. So, instead of thinking that people bullied me I started thinking that they really like me. I realized that neither is more true than the other because I have no idea what anybody is actually thinking. So why not choose one thats more positive? After adopting that mindset on and off nootropics, more people began to like me and my charm amplified. It’s to the point where I’m secure and I don’t care about other people’s thoughts.
My point is that my use of nootropics have made me consider point of views that I wouldn’t have before and understand all of the little ways one can actually perceive reality.

You would need to vote in politicians that value public funding in science again. There is no way the private sector will fund studies into most of the things we talk about here, because they are outside of patents and are not for treating diseases. We need public science funding again. We need our government to value independent research on things that are not drugs. There is a TON of value in funding scientific research through our tax dollars. I am very Libertarian on a lot of things, but an efficient government is needed in many situations. If we let the free market decide everything, then all we will do is slip into more of a corporatocracy. It wouldn't even cost that much. Take some from our military budget, and put that back into public funding of scientific research again. We could make it revenue neutral with some basic planning.
