Health & Self-Experimentation

This section is about health in the broadest sense: biology, addiction, recovery, self-experimentation, and the uncomfortable feedback loops between body and identity.

It is personal writing, not medical advice. I write here to make my thinking visible, keep myself honest, and separate useful curiosity from self-destruction wearing a lab coat.

  • Addiction: the most personal thread, and probably the most important one.
  • Research & frameworks: ways of turning observations into better questions.
  • Pharmacology: notes on compounds, mechanisms, risk, and self-experimentation.
  • Body systems: a working map for sleep, brain, gut, skin, environment, and the rest.

Addiction & Recovery

·1 min
Two stories live here: mine, and one a Norwegian forum recorded over four years. Old posts stay as written; newer thinking argues with them instead of replacing them.

Harm Reduction

·1 min
I’m an advocate for safe drug use, because the alternative position, pretending people will simply stop, has a body count. Moralizing doesn’t lower it. Information does.

Research & Frameworks

··1 min
This is where I keep frameworks and research-shaped notes. Some of it is rigorous. Some of it is exploratory. The important part is making assumptions visible, writing down failure modes, and building tools that make future thinking less sloppy.

Pharmacology & Self-Experimentation

··1 min
This section is where I put pharmacology notes, compound writeups, and self-experimentation reflections. The useful question is rarely “does this do something?” Most things do something. The better questions are: what is the mechanism, what is the cost, what would prove I am fooling myself, and what risk am I pretending not to see?

Body Systems

·1 min
This is a roadmap, not a finished guide. Nothing below is published yet, so the list at the bottom of this page is empty on purpose rather than broken. Sleep is the one being written first, because it sits upstream of most of the others.

Coming Off

Harm reduction is about using without wrecking yourself. This shelf is about stopping, which I never got around to writing down. That is a bad thing to forget. Stopping is where a lot of the damage happens, and with a few of these it is the dangerous half.
