Discipline: Is It Necessarily Serotonergic/Anti-Metabolic?

[milkboi]

Is the ability/drive/willpower to delay short-term pleasure for long-term gain serotonergic/favoring a lower metabolism, because you put the organisms need for rest/stimulation etc. behind a future ideal?

I wonder that because health and career success (while the latter kind of requires the former) oftentimes seem like a balancing act. And those two make up my most important values.

Cypro makes me wiser, in the sense of patience and willpower.Methylphenidate a dopaminergic agent is surely helpful for long and short therm planning

I'n my experience anti-serotonin substances such as metergoline or cypro only enhance my foresight. Serotonin increasing substances seem to reduce my ability to plan.
