Imagine if there was a pill that provably increased IQ by 10 points

[ihatereddit]

It would be meta everywhere, everyone would use it including children, people would publicly virtue signal against it but secretly use it on themselves and their kids, it would be fucking brutal.
inb4 that already exists, it doesnt, nootropics are a meme and maybe the best PEDs raise IQ by like 1 point, maybe.

10 IQ is not life changing.

 

[Deleted member 24712]

No it would ruin society tbh
Everyone would od on it then become recluses

 

[Deleted member 24712]

Wait is it only 1 time use

For some it is

 

[HarrierDuBois]

For some it would

Going from medically retarded to normally stupid sure, but it won't make you invent a cancer cure.

10 IQ on a population is astronomical, compare 100 IQ countries to 90 IQ ones, and look how hard Singapore mogs most countries despite having nothing

Fair enough but still it's not lifechanging the way 10 cm heights or 1 PSL can be.

Yes it is. And going from legit disabled retarded to normal stupid is obviously life changing. Its the difference between being able to work and not

I would 100% choose 1PSL or 10cm over 10 iq points

Because you are realistic.

That is what I said yes.

 

[Acne Victim]

Being blackpilled and not choosing it would be retarded tbh. 10 IQ points could definitely help a lot for most people but the benefit of 1 PSL point is unmeasurable really

 

[LampPostPrime]

That is what I said yes.

Its the difference between cancer curing too. 130 iq is like average ivy league student, 140 iq is like becoming a professor at that ivy league and making real advancements and discoveries (such as curing cancer)

And its not what u said, u said its not life changing. How is being able to work not life changing?

 

[HarrierDuBois]

So basically it's only worth it for people with exceptionally low and high IQ's to pursue.

Doesn't need to, 140 iq people aren't either

No . 10 iq points is like a 20 percentile jump in your place in the distribution. Being smarter than 20% more people is giant

You talk as if IQ is the only measure of intelligence, there are many types of intelligence that have different purposes.

 

[TheAbyssinian]

I feel like if something that good really existed it would have some really nasty side effects like roids and increasing muscle idk

Nah thats a cope. Gardners multiple intelligences doesnt make sense, hes just labelling random abilities as intellifences. Its widely debunked too within psychology. Iq isnt everything but it means a lot

 

[LampPostPrime]

Creativity is hard to measure on an iq test tho, thats probably biggest weakness

IQ is logic but it doesn't account for creativity. Both are crucial but neither can replace the other, you've just got to nichemaxx the one you are better at.

I jerk off 7 times a day drink all day monster energy abuse ritalin smoke and I still have a higher IQ then 90% of people. IQ is genetic coper I am just smart and you are stupid just accept it...

I remember reading an IQ drop of 3 points on a societal level would increase violent crime 50% and increase the amount of people on welfare by 25% of smth like that.

 

[Splinter901]

adderall or ritalin could help

On the lower levels every IQ point matters. But if your 120 being 123 would not alter your life much.

Iq isn’t real
