I think a key fallacy that arises is the argument that software is in layman's term a template and a mirror to human creativity; citing this as indication of its boundlessness should also be noted as an indication as to why centralization will ultimately occur. It's occurred in every other aspect of society where creativity maybe noted, what argument exists against that?

This. Very good point but I would argue its 2 way. Centralization and decentralization form a perfect loop. One inevitably leads to the other.

Im not totally convinced yet, with the other waves it was really clear what the value proposition was. Even Pets.com, the poster child for dotcom excess, had a purpose. Those excesses were mostly ahead of their time, the DAO token folks don't offer things that anyone wants or even understands.

one hundred percent with you on that one.

To stick with the dotcom analogy most of these tokens are more like the old network infrastructure providers say Global Crossing or Level 3. They were over-funded and they overbuilt but the network they left us was very valuable. It will be the same for a lot of the software the dao funded crowd is building.

Anything for Web 2.0 to end, its like cable television was to the Golden Era.

Yes the blockchain is going to take over. The banks are terrified.

The cumulative effects of modafinil are not well known though there is some evidence that it builds up neuron protection, modulates circadian rhythms and produces advantages for cognitive development. Personally I don't think these effects are so terrific that they outweigh the possible negative side effects which are also kind of hazy and unproven.

Dependency. Afinil is a great thing, and fairly benign but like anything else if you get used to it's effects you get tolerance and psychological (not physical) addiction.

I would say less extremes, I was often euphoric as an occasional user but also more short tempered according to my boyfriend. As a full time user it's more like a cleaner, more effective coffee habit, I have consistent energy don't crash in the afternoon but otherwise it's kinf of uneventful.

Sounds like you are not on the tough end of the ADHD spectrum. For me daily use is more like the difference between things working well vs struggling.

Can you imagine daily caffeine use? Then you are 75% there. Now imagine skipping a day and think how you feel or picture having an extra cup or 2 for a busy day.

Now give this up cold or take one tomorrow thats daily use right there.
