I like your thoughts! Particluarly that part about the 'wedrifid method". A place where posts somewhat like what you mention are commonplace is imminst.org.

Before I got into anything quite so experimental I would probably want to post on some basics. There is some real low hanging fruit out there!

Please do! I would be very interested in a series on "use of chemicals to increase willpower". I would even contribute...

I would like to second patrissimo in a way more concrete than merely upvoting you. Have you made any progress on this?

The idea of using something as powerful as nicotine both terrifies and tempts me, and I'm not sure I'd want to try it without considerable documentation.
