research in both animals and humans suggests a feedback loop known as the "winner effect".

1. initial win: winning a competition causes a rise in testosterone.
2. hormonal priming: this testosterone increase can enhance traits like confidence, persistence, and motivation for future competition.
3. increased odds: these changes may improve the likelihood of winning subsequent encounters, potentially leading to further testosterone boosts

could you not just mimic this with exogenous t and microdosed psychedelics to increase neuroplasticity?
