This week Jesse is joined by long-time biohacker and self-professed nootropics geek Abelard Lindsay, in a freewheeling discussion including a behind-the-scenes look at how the recently launched Mitogen stack was born.  Along the way, they make pit-stops into topics like the definition of nootropics, and Abelard’s thoughts on why biological brains, not A.I., may still hold the reins in the foreseeable the future.

Also in this episode, Jesse shares some positive news about brain activity scanning — and how previous fMRI studies may have been painting a gloomier-than-reality picture of advancing age.
