SMART DRUGS: CAN ONE PILL MAKE ME SMARTERER?

Cinemavixion Review

In 'Smart Drugs: Can One Pill Make Me Smarterer?', Nik Badminton embarks on a fascinating, if personal, documentary journey into the burgeoning world of bio-hacking and cognitive enhancement. The film adopts a 'point-of-view' style, pulling viewers directly into Badminton's exploration as he navigates the hype surrounding smart drugs. Drawing parallels to cinematic portrayals like 'Lucy' and 'Limitless,' the documentary probes the allure of artificial intelligence enhancement. Badminton's direct engagement with self-optimization trends and substances raises compelling questions about the ethical boundaries and the potential erosion of human identity in the pursuit of cognitive augmentation. The film serves as a thought-provoking meditation on the essence of humanity in an age increasingly defined by technological intervention.
