Controlled Insanity - Relevant Resources

as i work on completing the main Controlled Insanity document, i will maintain a list of relevant concepts that will be brought up in the document.

this document is not "complete"; it should be viewed as an early preview for topics that will likely be covered in the actual Controlled Insantity document (which will be released when it's ready).

how? - part 2

TODO (a lot still needs to be added here)

the part two of this might end up getting split into a second follow-up document called "Reshaping Yourself", as it'll be focusing on psychological methods rather than pharmacological methods, and is only tangentially related to the core idea of this document.

i'm not sure about this yet.
