White Collar PEDs
Are productivity drugs worth the trade-offs?
Find out as reporter @hpmcd1 test-drives Wall Street and Silicon Valley’s favorite “prodrugs,” trying everything from Vyvanse to Zyn to Huberman-style “nootropic” optimization.
‘Offered the opportunity to test-drive as many substances as I could get my hands on, gonzo style, I figured—sure, why not?’
@hpmcd1 (depicted below) punishes his mind and body for science and discovers the tachycardiac highs and bleak lows of White Collar PEDs.

So much has been written about Kevin Kelly over his 40 years doing amazing things.
I didn’t know if I’d have anything to add to the story so I turned to the truest thing, how this man inspired me and changed the way I think.
Founder mode is one way to do great work
What if there was another?
@zebriez interviewed @kevin2kelly to write a profile
She ended up writing much more than that—a profile plus a mini autobiography, which together introduce a different kind of working: Flounder Mode
Flounder Mode
Is it possible to do all the things that interest you and make your mark on the world without also being a tormented jackass? Kevin Kelly says yes.
Amazing braided profile of subject and author by the great @zebriez in @ColossusReview (photos by Andria Lo)
These three episodes (currently in the @ColossusReview private feed) are some of my favorites in a long time.
Abstract, Sixth Street, and SKIMS are each totally fascinating as are their founders.
haven’t experienced many products since the early glass iPhone where I really felt the care in design/function. But @patrick_oshag print version of colossus makes me feel that. tasteful and functional. Perfect size, a little card that doubles as a book marker, lickable charts.
.@ColossusReview is the Apple of Print Media. They deeply understand that the medium is the message. Gorgeous. Thank you @JeremySternLA @patrick_oshag and team. Would love a profile on David Goel (Matrix Capital Management) at some point!

From the new story and photo essay @ColossusReview:
“We lived and died by our ability to quickly fire a ‘tracer bullet’ through the heart of each problem, illuminating a clear path to the full solution.”
