Zählen Botoxinjektionen beim Poker als Doping?

I have spent a lot of my life working on questions such as these, using the only methods I know of; those condemned here as "science", "rationality", "logic" and so on. I therefore read the papers with some hope that they would help me "transcend" these limitations, or perhaps suggest an entirely different course. I'm afraid I was disappointed. Admittedly, that may be my own limitation. Quite regularly, "my eyes glaze over" when I read polysyllabic discourse on the themes of poststructuralism and postmodernism; what I understand is largely truism or error, but that is only a fraction of the total word count. True, there are lots of other things I don't understand: the articles in the current issues of math and physics journals, for example. But there is a difference. In the latter case, I know how to get to understand them, and have done so, in cases of particular interest to me; and I also know that people in these fields can explain the contents to me at my level, so that I can gain what (partial) understanding I may want. In contrast, no one seems to be able to explain to me why the latest post-this-and-that is (for the most part) other than truism, error, or gibberish, and I do not know how to proceed.

Das Chiasma opticum (aus griechisch χίασμα, chíasma, „die Kreuzung“, vom griechischen Buchstaben Chi und der latinisierten Form des griechischen οπτικό(ν), optikó(n), „das Sehen betreffend“), auch die Sehnerv(en)kreuzung, ist die anatomische Bezeichnung für eine Kreuzungsstelle der Sehnerven vom rechten und linken Auge. Im Chiasma opticum kreuzen die Nervenfasern jeweils der nasenwärts gelegenen Sinneszellen der Netzhaut zur gegenüberliegenden Großhirnhälfte. Diese nasenwärts gelegenen Sinneszellen nehmen nur Licht wahr, welches durch die Pupillen von schläfenwärts die Netzhäute erreicht. Dadurch bekommt die rechte Hirnhälfte nur Seheindrücke der linken Gesichtsfeldhälften zur Verarbeitung und umgekehrt.
