Neuroscience

@0xdesigner is usually right but here he's wrong

you actually *can* biohack creativity

the biocybernaut institute (biocybernaut.com/) specializes in neurofeedback trainings to teach people how to self-regulate brain function and states

you can literally learn to rewire your brain to be more creative

hello i was a neuro and psych major and researched neuroplasticity for 4 years during and after university

creativity is largely just your ability to think divergently (instead of converging)

any compound that encourages dendritic growth and synaptic formation (i.e. new neural connections to form) will increase the potential for divergent thinking

psychedelics are by far one of the most potent and accessible proven methods of encouraging new connections to form, along with DBS and other more invasive ways of directly stimulating the brain. the stamet's stack (a microdose of psilocybin, lion's mane, and niacin) is a protocol i personally recommend.

HOWEVER you must have diversity in experience and breadth of knowledge to think divergently

so before you go popping a bunch of supplements, if you don't have a life that lends itself to new knowledge and experiences - start there
