Out of curiosity--has any one here experimented with higher doses of stimulants? I'm a creative writer and I'm wondering if taking a higher dose now and then might put me in a different, perhaps more creative, zone. What about other drugs? Is there any safe way to boost creativity?
I came across a word recently on a website about career aptitude testing. The word was "ideaphoria", which, as I understand, is basically the ability to think of many, many ideas quickly. People who have this onrush of ideas tend to have a knack for creative writing. It's different than the "critical" thinking of academia. It sounds a bit like Mania--and it's no secret that many great artists were manic-depressives. So maybe my question is: how can I induce mania?
