| JayDugger | When in doubt, simplify your prose. Your audience is always less astute than you expect, just as you never write so clearly as it seems to you. | 08:26 |
| kanzure | do you mean that my prose in that email i linked to is bad? because that was copy+paste ;) | 08:26 |
| kanzure | or do you mean that "FWD: " is not clear enough? | 08:27 |
| JayDugger | Your forewarning disqualifies me as a test subject. | 08:27 |

| Alystair | so I got this brilliant idea | 18:54 |
| Alystair | which I bet on a scale of good to bad it's actually pretty stupid | 18:55 |
| Alystair | people with ADD/ADHD have reduced levels of dopamine... toxoplasmosis increases dopamine.... ;O | 18:56 |
| * Alystair puts out one fire with another fire | 18:57 | |
| Alystair | unrelated note: there'd be real money to be made to make a ritalin with a layer around it to re-balance the whole food/apetite | 18:59 |
| Alystair | worst side effect other than the sleep thing | 18:59 |
| nsh | what are the effects? | 18:59 |
| kanzure | Alystair: dopamine is not necessarily a good thing | 19:01 |
| kanzure | god damn it fenn, your word frequency analysis pops up again | 19:02 |
| kanzure | oh well | 19:02 |
| kanzure | http://web.archive.org/web/20080126133347/http://www.reciprocality.org/Reciprocality/add.html | 19:02 |

| kanzure | thesnark: i'm making Alystair read this: | 19:09 |
| kanzure | http://web.archive.org/web/20080126133347/http://www.reciprocality.org/Reciprocality/add.html | 19:09 |
| kanzure | (because he wants to increase levels of dopamine in people with ADD/ADHD) | 19:09 |
| thesnark | kanzure I think that's a good idea(increasing levels of dopamine) | 19:10 |
| thesnark | I actually was lucky enough never to have any form of add | 19:10 |
| thesnark | and I'm definitely not austistic | 19:10 |
| thesnark | and | 19:10 |
| thesnark | I would say there has always been a high amount of dopamine involved in my life =D | 19:10 |
| kanzure | "I propose that humans have an ability to raise the level of the neuroinhibitor dopamine in their brains to reduce awareness if environmental novelty drops below a certain level." | 19:11 |
| kanzure | "erhaps the ability evolved to enable us to outwait predators in seige situations, where our higher intelligence might otherwise cause us to get too bored and try to outrun a physically better endowed animal." | 19:11 |
| kanzure | "The trouble is, in societies where children are constrained and "ritualised" between ages 4 and 6 (at the school in developed societies, or the loom is less developed ones), tolerance to the elevated level can develop, and the child becomes "ritual addicted"." | 19:12 |
| kanzure | "We have the model of adrenaline addiction in athletes motivating them to take risks they would not normally take. Without realising it, the child will seek repetitive behaviour, and shun novelty." | 19:12 |
| kanzure | "In the midst of this, the person with a defective D4 receptor is immune to dopamine self-addiction." | 19:13 |
| kanzure | food for thought (if not literally) | 19:13 |
| thesnark | Haha, what does all of this say about engineering? All practice, no thought =P | 19:13 |
| Alystair | man | 19:24 |
| Alystair | this universe is too recursive | 19:24 |
| Alystair | so annoying | 19:24 |
| Alystair | this human body is not elegant enough to deal with that kind of situation ;[ | 19:26 |
| Alystair | fenn has word frequency analysis on this channel? :) | 19:27 |
| Alystair | that'd be pretty sweet | 19:27 |

| Alystair | no seriously, what's the magic. | 19:28 |
| Alystair | I think we should have a secondary frequency list that filters out all the "boring" words :p | 19:29 |
| * Alystair isn't enjoying the writers personal slant so far | 19:32 | |
| kanzure | it's not worth reading the whole thing | 19:32 |
| Alystair | us above them... we are all on the same damn marble | 19:32 |
| Alystair | too bad | 19:32 |
| Alystair | guess I'll skim ;) | 19:32 |
| kanzure | oh, just ignore that particular slant | 19:33 |
