The yield curve has un-inverted
I haven't followed this in a while, I don't have alerts set up for this - but as a reminder, the yield curve has un-inverted, and has stayed uninverted for some days. We usually see "official" "recessions" when this happens: not when the yield curve inverts, but when it uninverts, or shortly after.

Modafinil vs. Adderall: Can Modafinil Replace Adderall as a Safer, Mild Central Nervous System Stimulant?
In recent years, modafinil (brand name: Provigil) has gained increasing attention as a potential alternative to Adderall, particularly among individuals seeking cognitive enhancement or treatment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). While both drugs act as central nervous system stimulants, their mechanisms, side effects, and risks differ significantly.
Armodafinil: an alternative to ritalin and adderall
In recent years, there has been growing interest in cognitive enhancers and nootropics—substances that improve mental functions like focus, memory, and alertness. Among the many options available, armodafinil has emerged as a promising alternative to more commonly prescribed medications like Ritalin and Adderall. These medications, often used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy, are well-known for their ability to improve concentration and reduce fatigue.

And also, maybe it's me, but modern drugs are pretty darn sophisticated. They can make you not feel pain, at all (anesthesia). They can modulate your mood (with side effects, but still). They can modulate your metabolism (steroids). They are working hard on genetic rewriting in more than one species (immortality, anyone?). As evil as big pharma might be, you gotta admit that modern pharma industry is a technological marvel.
