Third Party Content   World Bank April 7, 2017 Photo: Dominic Chavez / World Bank Context Around the world, waste generation rates are rising. In 2012, the worlds’ cities generated  1.3 billion tonnes  of solid waste per year, amounting to a footprint of 1.2 kilograms per person per day.

by  Karla Lant  Getty A Scientific Way of Enhancing Performance? Futurism curates the products that could help reshape our world. Learn more about Qualia and  ‘smart drugs’ here .  Doing research to define  what nootropics are  is kind of like asking Tekkies which VPN is the best one to use. You get an avalanche of responses from a group of people who are absolute evangelists for the technology, and each is totally sold on their particular solution. This isn’t a criticism; it is the observation of an interested outsider looking in on a movement—the movement to achieve next level humanity. Nootropics, broadly speaking, are substances that can safely enhance cognitive performance. We’re not talking about convincing your doctor to write you a Ritalin or Adderall prescription to help you stay awake longer. We’re talking about a group of (as yet unclassified) research chemicals, over-the-counter supplements, and a few prescription drugs,...
