I will guarantee that in 10 years, a cheap knockoff with bad side effects will be the scourge of nearly every college in America.

Speed has already replaced sleep. Of course, that ain’t good.

We replace natural darkness with artificial light, what’s wrong with replacing sleep with the chemicals that sleep generates, on occasion? I can replace eating with feeding tubes, but I really prefer to sit down to a steak. However, if I am unable to eat in a medically necessary situation, I’d be glad for the feeding tube.

I gotta ask

right up there with aclhemy, perpetual motion, and compound interest.

Alchemy and perpetual motion lumped together I understand, but compound interest? Huh?

Your clues leave me clueless.

Compound interest is a based on well understood basic mathematics.

The other two alchemy and perpetual motion are scams.
