idk.

For sports its pretty clear cut. Here its less so.

e.g. What if do the work faster than my peers because I had an extra coffee? How is that in nature different from say modafinil?

Or maybe I went to a better varsity? Or am just more intelligent?

The level playing field is an illusion.

If I didn't have reservations about the long term effects I'd certainly grab it as an advantage.
