“Fascist” is not a term I use lightly, but the Silicon Valley vogue for administering performance-enhancing drugs to improve human capital is, well, fascist. My latest: https://newrepublic.com/article/173957/microdosing-silicon-valley-boss-dope-workers
@TimothyNoah I believe it's been a little bit of an open secret in the SV culture for awhile that drug use, while not mandatory (at least never at any firm I was at), fell broadly into the "I don't care how you do it as long as you knock out your quarterly OKRs and don't get arrested" category. I always figured it was sort of the dark-mirror consequence of the '60s counterculture so much of the industry grew out of / cultural-mythologically grounds itself in.
