1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

But then I would be addicted to zinc or nicotine.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

And I'm like, no, thanks.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

But I used to take Adderall, which is horrible for you.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

And I stopped taking that.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

But like, I just deal with ADHD brain now, which, you know, kind of also sucks.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

So the idea that there's like a pouch I could put in my mouth that would cure that is is tempting.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

But again, I don't want to be addicted to anything, really, but not nicotine either.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

Yeah.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

Yeah.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

We might have to look that up.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

Oh, they don't live long enough to get it.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

OK.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

I think the other thing to remember is that the benefits don't come in isolation.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

You know, you're dealing with the health risks as well as the improved performance.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

Yeah, people are touting nicotine in general and Zins in particular as nootropics.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

Are there nootropic effects that we didn't cover?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

Okay.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

So nicotine tricks your brain into thinking that starting a new task is going to be awesome, even if it's just doing the dishes.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1340: ZYNs | Skeptical Sunday

I can't remember where, but I read about how high-performance tech companies, people are using Adderall and Modafinil, which is like that fighter pilot drug or whatever to get through the day, and Zyn is kind of like the last couple of hours.

The Jordan Harbinger Show

I tried it because people were like, you got to try this.
