Adderall and other attention deficit medications and disorders are merely modern man’s way of understanding and dealing with the higher demand on attention. In this age of New Media there is a necessity to split up one’s concentration far beyond the limits it was originally intended to be. The only way of coping is to take concentration-enhancing drugs which allow one to fully capture his/her potential. Those with minds less affected by the stresses and taxation of New Media on concentration – because of their non-immersion in (or fear of) future technologies – are the ones who are most successful without medication. However, as the ubiquity of technology exponentially increases the potential for the success of the non-immersed will continue to plummet unforgivingly. The coming generations are going to need super-human concentration in order to progress in this world where we are bombarded by enormous excesses of information during every waking moment.

This brings about the question of the role of entheogens and psychedelics in the current/coming era. How do substances which open the mind to abundant excesses of information affect a person taking them today when there is exponentially more excess information to absorb, compared to thirty or forty years ago even? Or is the entheogenic excess a constant, a never-changing absolute understanding that sparks all insights and enlightenments that follow from the experience? All important questions to consider.
