I certainly wouldn’t post from England and Wales that a medical doctor was in any way abusing a medication. So I would first presume Dr Siskind is just like this.

I would first presume Scott’s just like that, and just naturally tends to rambling logorrhea on the order of 10k words a week. I certainly wouldn’t post an assumption of any sort of malfeasance on his part, except to the degree even posting this thing that a subculture took as its starting pistol to speed out of their stupid little heads is.

Messing about with meds for yourself is the sort of thing that gets medical doctors struck off, even if the paperwork is in order, so I would not actually assume that at all. I do think he’s dancing on a fine line with essays like this.

my view of that is that the judge specifically ordered MDC Brooklyn to give Sam his duly prescribed meds, also fuck MDC Brooklyn. But also, I concur that Sam and Caroline ensured a supply of legally prescribed medications, and tweeted about how much they were into their speed, based specifically on this essay.

now thinking of the TPOT rationalists who thought “well Scott said take adderall, we can approximate that with uhhhh micro doses of street meth”

we held off for a bit cos we don’t want to be actively unkind to the recovering rationalists, and he was our first ardent debate bro actually on the instance, but he rapidly also became our first 24 hour ban of a local account rather than a federated one. perhaps his posting will improve a day hence!
