I mean, you act like the alternative would make you a genius somehow. It's a suppressor, not something that fundamentally changes your entire disposition. That's why "castration" is a exaggeration.

What's this utopic ideal you're being sealed from if you take something like adderall in your early years? Can't make it to the NBA/NFL?



your world view presents inconsistencies and would benefit from reflection, for example making negative judgement of exaggeration then proceeding to exaggerate yourself. such behaviour leads me to believe you are not interested in good faith and the following will be a waste of breath.

I do believe that daily drug use during childhood is likely to fundamentally change that child's adult disposition. many men I have spoken to who were medicated during childhood have agreed, I have higher confidence in their opinion than yours. some kids will benefit from this. lots and lots of kids are victims of overprescription, and effectively will be mentally castrated by having spontenaiety and peaks of enjoyment crushed via permanent downregulation of the mind's reward circuitry. physically castrated too by reducing growth 10-20% which yes would probably impact ability to maximise sporting potential.
