Why does no-one dare say "schizotypy?"

It's dangerous to existing systems for people to become aware they're capable of creating/conjuring/channeling useful new voices in the mind to help learn different things. People get burned at the stake for that.

Dangerous to the autism-industrial complex and as well as the addictive stimulant industry.

Stimulants reduce addictive behaviors in ADHD patients.

They're also less habit forming than the non-stimulant drugs; I'm taking a non-stimulant right now (Intuniv) that you can't safely quit without tapering off for weeks.

The combination is good enough that I lost my caffeine addiction. Of course that's a relatively mild one.
