- The post analyzes nootropics ratings from a recommender system with 1981 participants and 29,387 ratings.
- Lifestyle changes like sleep, sport, and weightlifting are highly rated as effective nootropics.
- Peptides such as Semax and Cerebrolysin are underrated but show high effectiveness and life-changing potential.
- Common nootropics like Piracetam and Ashwagandha have relatively poor ratings compared to lesser-known substances.
- Tianeptine is rated higher than other antidepressants with fewer reported side effects.
- Microdosing psychedelics like Psilocybin and LSD shows high ratings but may be influenced by placebo effects.

- The analysis highlights biases like lack of random allocation and self-reporting in nootropic ratings.
