I have a (short) essay, 'Drug heuristics' in which I take a crack at combining Bostrom's evolutionary heuristics and nootropics - both topics I consider to be quite LW-germane but underdiscussed.

I'm not sure, though, that it's worth pursuing in any greater depth and would appreciate feedback.

I'd like to see this pursued further. In particular, I'd like to hear your thoughts on modafinil.

JustinShovelain's post on caffeine was similar, and upvoted.

As of the time I reply there is nothing about modafinil on that page.

I use aggressive caching settings on gwern.net since most of the content doesn't change very often. Force-refresh, and you'll see it.

Anything besides modafinil? In part I'm stuck because I don't know what else to discuss; Justin's post was similarly short, but it was mainly made of links.
