It's amphetamine. All of these people are constantly tweaking. They're annoying people to begin with, but they're all constantly yakked up and won't stop babbling. It's really obvious, I don't know why it isn't highlighted more in all these post Ziz articles.

This is one of the only comments here mentioning their drugs. These guys are juiced to the gills (on a combination of legal + prescription + illegal drugs) and doing weird shit because of it. The author even mentions the example of the polycule taking MDMA in a blackout room.

It makes me wonder whether everyone on this forum is just so loaded on antidepressants and adhd meds that they don't even find it unusual.

Yeah it's pretty obvious and not surprising. What do people expect when a bunch of socially inept nerds with weird unchallenged world views start doing uppers? lol

I like to characterize the culture of each (roughly) decade with the most popular drugs of the time. It really gives you a new lens for media and culture generation.

How do you know?

having known dozens of friends, family, roommates, coworkers etc both before and after they started them. The two biggest telltale signs -

1. tendency to produce - out of no necessity whatsoever, mind - walls of text. walls of speech will happen too but not everyone rambles.

2. Obnoxiously confident that they're fundamentally correct about whatever position they happen to be holding during a conversation with you. No matter how subjective or inconsequential. Even if they end up changing it an hour later. Challenging them on it gets you more of #1.

Presumably they mean Adderall. Plausible theory tbh. Although it's just a factor not an explanation.

Who's writing them?
