Re:Does creatine make you smarter?

This is nonsense.
Creatine works because of buffering ATP and creatine kinase.
A problem though is that 1lb of chicken breast contains about 1.5 grams of creatine.
If a person is already eating a modern high protein diet, they are most likely already getting a decent amount of creatine.
I would imagine a vegetarian taking creatine would get a much better effect.

I was struck in the same way but I think it makes sense in terms of a thinking partner.
It is still ultimately Terence that is steering things.
What is crazy to me is how few of other people's conversations like this I have actually read.
Tao is really great for this because the anti-AI crowd can't really chime in and take the thread in a pointless direction. It is hard to think of another human alive who can carry the weight of unassailable authority in the same way.
