How to become less retarded?

[2414763h]

Title.

All sorts of people in my life have told me at some point that mental ability is lacking which is annoying to know but I need to move on with it.

My ability to learn more advanced concepts in a variety of areas also my memorisation and problem solving and critical thinking are also inefficient. In addition to most other mental abilities are lacking when compared to the average though not all. Though I am capable of passing a few tests

I need help to see if I can see reach average or even a bit beyond it

 

[2414763h]

If you can help me out please give me actionable steps as a 17 year old

Throw away your devices and Internet, they make you retarded and start reading books, they make you smart.

Throw away your devices and Internet, they make you retarded and start reading books, they make you smart.

That is harder than you think cause most of my demands require me to have some sort of internet connection, such as me applying to jobs or my electrotechnical apprenticeship

What books do I start reading

 

[Bryce]

Can’t save a low IQ, that’s determined at birth

Don't listen to the guy saying IQ is determined by birth. IQ is only 50% to 80% genetic & rest is environmental. Give me 50$ & I will send you IQ boosting supplement that will bump up you IQ by atleast 20% & you will reach 120 IQ.

Keep Internet under an hour a day then, only for work and important stuff.

What books do I start reading

Well, it depends on your current IQ level and reading experience, jumping directly into serious literature and scientific books when you haven't read even basic stuff, will be painful and you may not understand much of it, you need to start with easy, accessible books and work your way to the top to the more difficult ones.

What is so brutal about it can you give me something to do

iq is birth-given there is nothing you can do about your iq

you can train your brain tho learn a bunch of new things when you learn new things your brain creates new synapses and makes existing ones stronger literally changes the structure of your brain

 

[2414763h]

Yeah basically, 99% of geniuses didn’t really do anything special they just came out with better neuropathways

Well then I’m not looking to be smart just to see if I can increase my ability to average~slightly above average levels because it is currently holding me back

Sounds so defeating I remember me wanting to do something interesting but never being capable of fully getting through like when I tried to learn programming I couldn’t grasp it fully and dropped it after 6 months

 

[2414763h]

?

How do I learn new things? Which stuff do I learn that is useful

 

[2414763h]

retardation is not that bad

Really what benefit does it have?

 

[eon]

"how do i learn new things" find an interest lol im sure mathematics works great to build synapses efficiently make sure ur consuming brain healthy foods and exercising aswell, get good sleep after new learning

 

[Epochs]

Really what benefit does it have?

The benefit of not comprehending reality therefore a happier life

 

[2414763h]

"how do i learn new things" find an interest lol im sure mathematics works great to build synapses efficiently make sure ur consuming brain healthy foods and exercising aswell, get good sleep after new learning

What is brain healthy food?
I’m gonna start exercising soon so I’ll get on that

 

[2414763h]

That sounds like ignorance which really is an unfortunate reality

omega 3s they are your neurons building blocks
antioxidants rich foods protect ur neurons from damage

greens and nuts are also beneficial for your brain to protect your neurons and to prevent cognitive decline

 

[2414763h]

Billions shall iqmin

IQmin means minimising IQ right?

 

[2414763h]

omega 3s they are your neurons building blocks
antioxidants rich foods protect ur neurons from damage

greens and nuts are also beneficial for your brain to protect your neurons and to prevent cognitive decline

What foods have those then?

 

[2414763h]

omega 3s they are your neurons building blocks
antioxidants rich foods protect ur neurons from damage

greens and nuts are also beneficial for your brain to protect your neurons and to prevent cognitive decline

So I need this
‘Omega 3’ and ‘Anti Oxidants’
And some greens and nuts

 

[2414763h]

What about lamb and chicken and other meats?

 

[eon]

So I need this
‘Omega 3’ and ‘Anti Oxidants’
And some greens and nuts

these all promote healthy brain health correct(will help your brain build synapses)

 

[eon]

What about lamb and chicken and other meats?

beef liver is good for brain health

but you should always be eating red meat regardless

 

[2414763h]

these all promote healthy brain health correct(will help your brain build synapses)

Alright so how long do I need to consume those

 

[eon]

Alright so how long do I need to consume those

how long do you want a healthy brain for? lol

 

[2414763h]

beef liver is good for brain health

but you should always be eating red meat regardless

Alright then. I don’t consume beef liver so I’ll see if I can try that

 

[2414763h]

how long do you want a healthy brain for? lol

Ideally my life span but realistically I’ll be fine for just 10 years

 

[2414763h]

how long do you want a healthy brain for? lol

I don’t plan to live for the next 15 to 20 years I’ll kill myself by that point so for that long

 

[eon]

I don’t plan to live for the next 15 to 20 years I’ll kill myself by that point so for that long

no point in killing yourself, thats weak

 

[2414763h]

no point in killing yourself, thats weak

Why bro? That is my life plan? I don’t really care about my latter years

 

[eon]

Why bro? That is my life plan? I don’t really care about my latter years

10-15 years is allot of time, i am sure you will come to your senses

best of luck

 

[2414763h]

10-15 years is allot of time, i am sure you will come to your senses

best of luck

Sure probably. I only say that because if my life is still as bad in the future then I will just give up hopefully it won’t be
