1. if you focus on x u miss out on y
2. if you try too hard to increase iq, u overwhelm yourself
3. you have a worse frequency, except when u feel like it

there is an opportunity cost, its not worth the time and effort

here is the only things that work

exercise doesnt work

you think automatically so it makes no sense for me to tell you to think all thoughts are such bs

what helps and can be done though, is gaining more knowledge.

if you train speed of thought u just overwhelm yourself and have no energy left

if you train memory its just a waste of time and effort, and it has no transfer effects in rl, only on the game u play or very similar tasks, anyway, not worth the effort, i dont enjoy it and it overwhelms you

the only things that make sense to become smarter:

1. read mvp posts, if u do that, u won't miss anything
2. read wikipedia, watch tv, watch youtube, read books
3. take certain drugs and nootropics (be very careful with that, if ur not smart about it, it can majorly b@ckfire)
4. focus on knowledge, since this can measurably be increased
5. u think automatically so it makes no sense to try to think more

it is not possible to incraese fluid inteligence, but its possible to increase crystallized intelligence which is knowledge and experience. so as you get older, you get smarter over time. that is undoubtedly true. i am at 34yo much smarter than i was at 20yo

I haven't had an IQ explosion in months
I had many crazy thoughts like you but now I'm just bored, it's like I started thinking less.

how to increase knowledge though. Also, do you think I am smart?
