Do stimulants count as cheating?

Its not worth the burnout effect.

Massively overestimated. Only occurs with extremely neurotoxic variants like Methamphetamine or abuse.

Maybe this would be an argument if people lived much longer, but given the massive boost it can give you early in life (which is the absolute most critical time), it's objectively better to use it early and if needed deal with the acute withdrawal later.

There isn't even scientific evidence of long-term changes.

No but they count as being a fucking junkie loser who has to manipulate the chemistry of their mind to be useful

acquiring and using stimulants as needed for peak performance is the only true "life hack" and there's a good reason that it's insanely common with high net worth professions like medicine and top tier law & business.

Why would you do this? What's so bad about settling for your unaffected ability?

because my affected ability is greater? stimulants don't even make you smarter, they just get rid of the 'smart but lazy' meme
