Given your comment, I will correspondingly downgrade my estimate that this is doing that, or maybe I’m pointing at something colloquially similar to hypomania but which actually doesn’t have those downsides. Perhaps I am reading too much into this; I don’t on reflection think HPMOR actually induced clinical hypomania in me. Maybe more like a kind of overconfidence in my own importance? I’m also not sure whether this kind of thing is actually bad or not (HPMOR definitely worsened by epistemics in the short term, in part due to this effect).
