Are they safe? Do drawbacks outweigh the advantages?

Doesn't sound like it to me. You aren't going to get super powers no matter what.

The perfect nootropics will exist when there is extensive knowledge between the specific problems of the configuration of genes and epigenetics, each person has a different type of impairment that subtracts its intelligence potential, we are in an intermediate step, now people play guinea pigs with themselves as there are not enough studies to draw conclusions, perhaps some have found their philosopher's stone, but most still try without success.

you think itll make you smarter but all it does is bring you too your optimal level you would be anyway if your diet and lifestyle wasn't so shit

fix your diet and sleep. if you dont want to do that, coffee, nicotine, and some drugs like adderall have all been shown to increase cognitive function

I don't think they'll make me smarter, but will take away the brainfog that I sometimes have.
Coffee is very strong for me and I feel my heart palpitating and I feel bad after it, so I don't drink it. Nicotine's too expensive. Adderall is illegal in my cunt.

for controllable deficits the only thing you can do is fix your lifestyle. If piracetam or other marketed nootropics worked, you'd know. Similarly, if penis enlargement was real, everyone would have 9 inch dongs.

for the more serious problems, you'd have to double down on medication or known stimulants. Look into Clouding of Consciousness and Sluggish Cognitive Tempo.

Just like how we don't have performance enhancing drugs that make people more athletic, right? Otherwise everyone would be on them, right?

I get your point, and I understand my argument is bad
but, any beneficial drugs or supplements that exist, we are aware of them and people abuse them, illegal or not, no question.

Theres no magic pill that makes you a genius.

I don't understand what you're saying here.

>Theres no magic pill that makes you a genius.

I agree with this, generally, but I think there are pills that can help you uptake information more efficiently/faster. I think a big issue we have in quantifying this is that there currently isn't really money in the "make people smarter with drugs" business from a pharma point of view, which seems strange to me. You see tons of studies on various racetams or whatever at bearing alzhiemer's but no studies on whether they can make someone perform better on memory tests or pattern matching. Seems kind of stupid to me but then again i also think PEDs should be legalized and think that it's fucking stupid that they aren't so clearly there is a big disconnect between my values and the pharma community.
