This is Why


Read Kara Swisher whenever you can.  She's brilliant.

How and Why Silicon Valley Gets High  NYTimes
Michael Pollan, whose recent book, “How to Change Your Mind,” talks about the resurgence of psychedelic drugs, told me in an interview that the exploration of drugs by tech workers remains part of the industry’s “hacking ethos.”
Mr. Pollan is not surprised that Silicon Valley is behind that push. He points to a range of other tech-fueled efforts — fasting, food-hacking, nootropics (drugs meant to stimulate memory and cognitive function) and attempts to stop aging and even death — that are on trend right now.
“It is all about finding a technology to improve biology,” said Mr. Pollan. 

Um, yeah, y'all are toxic manic zombies - exploiting and destroying civilization for the rush.
You want to change your minds?   Unwind them a bit please. 
Hydrate, eat protein, exercise and sleep.
Take a long bath, drink some milk, masturbate, take a nap, and then get the fuck over yourselves.
