I've heard another anecdote from someone with ADHD that ritalin helps you focus at the cost of YOUR SOUL.
I've heard such things. I noticed a possible drop in creativity.
As jsalvatier said, nice to have the option. Sometimes I need to get shit done, not have a "soul".
If it was a permanant choice that would be different.
Nice to have the option, though.
Dun dun dun.
Eh, if it gives the effects described in the grandparent on a consistent basis and I happen to have ADHD, I would gladly trade off the very low expected cost of my soul (since I have a very low P on it existing in the first place) for the large increase in mental superpowers.
Remember that the "soul" you are giving up isn't really the Cartesian dualist version. It matches better to certain emotional or social states that many people prefer to experience.
