> Burn more energy to get rid of them! I should be able to strap an icepack to my head, fill a bottle with olive oil, and overclock my brain to 10x speed.

Stimulants like methamphetamine do that don't they? I mean with other negative side-effects, of course, you'll feel like your brain is working 10x the speed.

Only because more 'feels' better, so you take more. And then, more still 'feels' better. If you only stick to doses you can't feel, it's long term reliable IMHE.
