‘modafinil’ directory
Effects, health concerns, suppliers, prices & rational ordering.
Modafinil is a prescription stimulant drug. I discuss informally, from a cost-
benefit-informed perspective, the research up to 2015 on modafinil’s cognitive effects, the risks of side- effects and addiction/ tolerance and law enforcement, and give a table of current grey- market suppliers and discuss how to order from them.

Annotations sorted by machine learning into inferred 'tags'. This provides an alternative way to browse: instead of by date order, one can browse in topic order. The 'sorted' list has been automatically clustered into multiple sections & auto-labeled for easier browsing.
Beginning with the newest annotation, it uses the embedding of each annotation to attempt to create a list of nearest-neighbor annotations, creating a progression of topics. For more details, see the link.
