Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Enhancing Cognitive Performance with Glucose, Caffeine, Nicotine, and Modafinil
Studies show that both glucose and caffeine significantly enhance cognitive performance, particularly in testing scenarios. For optimal results, a combination of double espresso with sugar and a small dosage of nicotine is recommended to achieve a hyper-focus state that improves effectiveness. However, nicotine's addictive properties raise concerns, and its use should be limited, especially in younger individuals; moderate use around age 40 may be beneficial for cognitive health. Research indicates that pure nicotine could help prevent neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Modafinil, originally developed for maintaining sharpness in fighter pilots, is another cognitive enhancer. While typically prescribed at 200 milligrams, a dosage of 100 milligrams is suggested for general use, and caution is advised against mixing with alcohol due to potential interactions. Overall, these substances offer ways to enhance cognitive function but come with caveats regarding health and addiction.
