Post your routine for maximizing brain health and stimulating intellectual fervor.
For me, it is:
>fasting
>20mg ritalin (2x10mg)
>green tea or energy drinks 3 hours after dosing
I read 6-10 hours a day. Nothing too impressive but I couldn't do it without the ritalin. Fasting was initially just to lose weight but it makes me feel like a god when I start eating after a 7 day fast, and I have found it useful developing to skill to focus even while hungry, which took some time. 1 week fast, 3-4 weeks normal diet, doing this a year and have gotten myself out of a rut. and lost over 30kg (6kg until I am no longer overweight).

I wake up in the morning and the first thing I remember is that I have my goddamn doctorate in mathematics, this results in an immediate rush of endorphins and testosterone which will last for the rest of the day. I then get to work writing down the proofs to the theorems that I solved in my head last night. After that I fuck my 10/10 wife while thinking about my research. I then leave without eating breakfast since I no longer require sustenance. Next follows morning lectures gracing plebs with some invaluable insight into my mind and its firm grasp on the most important field of study in human history. The rest of the I spend developing various mathematical structures on blackboards, the results of which will applied to curing all cancers and building thermodynamically efficient cold fusion reactors. As the day winds down I ponder my surreal existence, I have to dig up my degree to remind myself of the reality that I do in fact have a PhD in mathematics. Finally I fall asleep holding my doctorate and 300k salary slip in my arms.
And then I do it all again.

Going to start taking ritalin in a few month (at least if my psychiatrist acknowledge it) and I'm tired of people saying that it will damage my brain.

Well it probably will but my way of life is currently so much unhealthy that it's not going to make my situation much worse. Hell it could even improve it a little by keeping me away from screens since I spend so much time in front of them.

All the Ritalin in the world will not help you get laid. What’s the point of stimulating intellectual fervor if you end up buried under your books instead without a chance of getting your dick wet.

I had this dilemma some time ago. I said fuck it. Now I make way more money as a developer instead of an electrical engineer and I’ve had more pussy than I can remember.

I decend from the atemporal subtle realm everyday and the first thing I manifest is the godblessed toroidial fractal diffusion of my pure conscious being into the harmonic distribution of form and procession as time, this immediately results in a cosmologically concentric implosion of all relationship into an oceanic bliss which will last all eternity. Then my cyclic work was done before it began again. After that I imbue my life essence into the reproductive appendage of every single male entity throughout spacetime at the precise instant it is climaxing with it's female counterpart. I then leave a facet of my infinite will in possession of itself and all in limbo. Next follows a transfinitive ejaculation of my will to its ideal gracing karmic souls with my invaluable logos. For all days to come I spend developing energetic currents of archtypal concretions, the results of which will be applied to an infinite procession of divine incarnations. As the eons reocurr I ponder my surreal autopoetic ontoepistemic telomethodological status, I am dug up and reminded that I am to be burried, and do in fact have simlutaneously all and no significance whatsoever between reality and actuality. Finally I ascend holding the metaverse and all absolution in my heart.
And the I do it all again

reddit isn't a bad thing as long as you don't use it for entertainment and use it more to learn about things (for instance, fitness or programming or whatnot). you should also probably keep an instagram unless you want to be seen as a freak by most of society (unless you're too freakish to not be seen as one)

Plausibly because you're fasting. Protein is really important – height most correlating with it – being the second most abundant item in the body, to water. Even neurochemicals (epinephrine; dopamine; serotonin) are produced from amino acids ..
