How can I get higher IQ / higher cognition (especially executive function)? High IQ people only

[can’t relate]

I used to be so smart and on a good track to be smarter but like doom scrolling, ADHD
and frying my brain with addiction like to social media and porn especially in the years has made so retarded compared to before all of that and my cognition like executive functions were so exceptional now it’s so retarded probably due to damage of prefrontal cortex frying of my brain is probably the reason

 

[exipreess]

stimulants and some nootropics
meditation
brain exercises (like learning mental math or science of thought)
learning/reading a ton

You get dumber with age, your working memory starts to decline after the age of 18 or something

If you are under that age then you just became smarter to actually understand how dumb you are

You stay around the same mentally until your forties

honestly. don't wanna sound bluepilled but doing sport (especially cardio) and medidation is very beneficial for the brain. Also drugs like piracetam especially in combination.

also read books before going to sleep instead of scrolling social media.

Yeah but your fluid intelligence decline alot earlier than that, there is a reason kids get better at things faster you moron. Your crystallized intelligence increases( knowledge and awareness, and this is only good if you were already good at something).

This is good for mental health, but executive function will increase mostly by doing new things. Playing new instrument, new sport that require some intellect etc.

Thanks I love you

read philosophy books so your brain has a more abstract function in the reality

Doomscrolling and brainrot content has only strengthened my mental, if you have to resort to blaming this content for your mental decline it's nigh time to rope buddy boyo

If you are talking about pure mental performance, my best advice would be to breathe high quality air and sleep in a high quality environment, it really fucks with your head otherwise and I've noticed this especially moving between different places. Intellectmaxxing with stuff like this, habits and brain-activitymaxxing is as pathetic in it's passivity as working out though so i prefer to never listen to greycels on this topic.

My real best bet is to go out and walk in nature because placebo or not I really do think it works. Disregard all the theory and whatever about what works and try these things out individually.

Why're you so angry? Can't handle a simple disagreement. Big low T trait

Well anyways, only reaction speed declines rapidy. Everything else remains stable, numeric ability and spatial orientation declines at 53 and everything else is stable into early 60s


Ofc spatial orientation, inductive reasoning are fluid intelligence and reaction speed is not measured in IQ tests.

Seems you're the dunning Kruger in this conversation, it was apparent instantly since you got offended by a disagreement.

Now go away.

how do we know they cant be improved and trained though?

maybe you train them continuously while gaining life experience

Who said they can't be improved?

It's plenty possible. I increased my reaction speed from around 200 ms to 100 by just playing tetris at very high speeds

well then we cant know if it was aging having zero effect on them, or there was enough training to counter the deleterious effects of it

It takes decades for aging to take effect.

Also I believe the sharp drop in reaction speed is from most people basically never doing super fast paced things like fighting for example

i'd bet FPS games also improve reaction speed

playing CSGO in my teens made me really adept at navigating computer interfaces, like 10x faster than your average person

Yeah they should logically help in same way.

any fast paced game should tbh

we should have had psychometric-based gyms by now, so we can become superior cognitively

This is mostly due to environmental reasons, such as being fat, too many carbs, lack of stimulation, etc.
Your actual neurons should be capable of functioning the same at 30 as they do at 18 assuming you arent an obese carbcel.

Fluid intelligence peak at like 18 and declines from there, it is connected actually with reaction speed to some degree. It is the working memory, how much information you can hold in your head at the same time. This is why many of the scientist that get Nobel prize usually get it from the research they did at age below 30. It's common knowledge, many people like von Neuman has said that they recognized that their brain got slower at age of 26. Yes, specialized skills like the mention above does get better, mostly because of the crystallized intelligence, litteraly that you have more experince and long term memories that are easily accessible, but this doesn't mean that if you stood face to face with a totally new problem that prior knowledge would be of no use that a 18 year old with peak fluid intelligence wouldnt learn faster if same iq from the beginning. This is facts man
