To those of you who have watched Limitless, you will know what I'll be talking about here. And for those who haven't, go watch it. Seriously, it's pretty decent, and the idea of what a certain drug can do to you will blow your mind.
Especially since the drug we are going to talk about is a mind-altering one. Hell, forget about mind-altering, it's bloody mind-enhancing. Downright mind-blowing even, for lack of a better phrase.
And I'm talking about NZT, or thallanylzirconio-methyl-tetrahydro-triazatriphenylene. Perhaps it is more familiarly known by its street name, the clear pill.
And before you go on quoting about humans only using 10% of their brain, well, I'm here to set you straight and say: that's nonsense. All parts, if not 100% of our brain, are active and being used most of the time, to keep us alive and functioning. Pretty fair, since the brain uses up to 20% of the body's energy for an organ that makes up only 2% of the whole body in mass.
What is most probably true is that we only use 10 - 20% of our brains' full ability. And this wonder pill enables you to use 100% of your brain's true potential. With certain risky side effects, I admit, but the trade-off is pretty fair, right?
Imagine what you can do in life you can learn to master foreign language in a few hours? Or make a million dollar profit from the stock market in days? Or pick up details and information to practically charm the pants off the opposite sex (or same sex, depending on how you choose to roll). Who wouldn't want that, really?
Of course I'm not really sure how it's gonna go if everyone is on NZT, but supposedly the drug works even better if the person taking it is already intelligent to begin with.
Still, I guess not everything in life can be solved with NZT. But worry not, for those particular problems, I have another pill for you.
Or you can stay off these imaginary drugs and just have crazy sex to enjoy the serotonin, oxytocin and vasopressin cocktail afterwards.
At least that's the real deal.
