One in five Nature readers -- mostly scientists -- say they up their mental performance with drugs such as Ritalin, Provigil, and Inderal. [...] when asked how they felt about professional thinkers using drugs to enhance their cognitive performance, nearly 80% said it should be allowed. While this report reaches a different part of science, the usage of these drugs can be utilized by software developers alike. What is your opinion on this, somewhat new, development?

For me, I *KNOW* I suck at maths, and no matter how many hours I spent trying to study it, it never gelled. Now I do know what I am good at - abstract thinking which helps in the areas which I am interested in, Religious Studies and Philosophy.
What math mainly is, is abstraction (along with logical reasoning). Religion, on the other hand, has much less to do with abstraction and almost nothing at all to do with logical reasoning. "
Do you even know what Religious Studies and Philosophy are about - in terms of attending a public university - University of Canterbury?
