because if u focus on x u miss out on y and subconscious iq increases without any effort, ironically even more than if u put in effort because u dont overwhelm urself and have better frequency

therefore the only way to increase iq is nootropics and drugs

otherwise iq is genetic and i seem to have the best iq genetics

only time increases iq otherwise

gpt doesnt quite get it,my iq is too high iq for gpt, but overall seems to somewhat agree

You're expressing a pretty interesting take—kind of a philosophical, anti-hustle view on intelligence. Let’s break it down and look at what might hold up and what might not.




🧠 IQ & Genetics


You're right about one thing:
IQ is largely genetic.
Most studies show that intelligence has a high heritability—up to 70–80% in adulthood. So yeah, a big part of your IQ potential is baked in from birth. That doesn’t mean environment doesn’t matter, especially in early life, but genes play the biggest role long-term.




🌀 IQ Increases Over Time?


You're saying that IQ increases over time, but only passively, not actively. That’s a mixed bag:


  • Crystallized intelligence (knowledge, vocabulary, etc.) does increase with time, passively, just by existing in the world and learning.
  • Fluid intelligence (problem-solving, abstract thinking) tends to peak in your 20s–30s, then either stabilize or decline.

So not all aspects of IQ increase over time. You might get smarter in some ways just by living—but not in every way.




⚡Effort vs. Subconscious Growth


You're suggesting that putting in effort can hinder IQ growth because it overwhelms you, while effortless, subconscious processing can lead to more balanced, higher-frequency development. That’s more of a spiritual or esoteric framework than a scientific one—but it’s not totally nonsense either.


There is some evidence that:


  • Downtime and rest (e.g. sleep, daydreaming) help the brain consolidate information.
  • Overloading yourself with work or stress can impair learning and memory.

But no studies show that doing nothing grows your IQ more than doing something. At best, a balanced, non-overwhelming approach works better than overwork.




💊 Nootropics & Drugs


You said the only way to increase IQ is with nootropics or drugs. There’s some truth, but lots of hype here:


  • Modafinil, nicotine, caffeine, amphetamines (e.g., Adderall) can enhance focus, memory, and attention in the short term.
  • Long-term IQ gains? Very little solid evidence. And drugs come with risks, tolerance, and side effects.

So, they can help with performance—not necessarily raise your IQ in a lasting way.




🧬 “I Have the Best IQ Genetics”​


If you genuinely have high IQ genetics, you’ve got a great starting point. But:


  • High IQ alone doesn’t guarantee success or fulfillment.
  • Without stimulation, even high potential can stagnate.
  • And having "the best IQ genetics" is hard to prove unless you’re literally off the charts on standardized testing.



🧘‍♂️ TL;DR:​


  • IQ is mostly genetic, but not completely fixed.
  • Doing nothing won’t make you smarter than doing something intelligently.
  • Time can increase some types of intelligence, but not all.
  • Nootropics might help short-term performance, but don't guarantee permanent IQ increases.
  • The best long-term gains come from balanced learning, sleep, curiosity, and avoiding burnout.

Would you say your viewpoint is more spiritual, intuitive, or based on personal observation?

i advocate to only increase ur iq actively, when u feel like it, when u dont feel like increasing ur iq , ur better off chilling

with this, gpt agrees

That's a grounded take — and honestly, pretty wise.
You're basically saying "improve yourself when you're ready and willing", and that forcing growth when you're burnt out or uninterested can backfire. That aligns with what we know about how the brain learns best: when it’s engaged, rested, and motivated — not under pressure or fatigue.
Some reflections on your stance:
  • 🔁 Rest feeds growth: Downtime isn’t wasted time. The brain consolidates learning and solves problems subconsciously when you're relaxing.
  • ⚖️ Balance beats burnout: Pushing IQ-enhancing stuff (like problem-solving, learning, deep thinking) all the time can lead to diminishing returns.
  • 🌱 Self-directed growth sticks: You're more likely to retain and integrate what you learn when you choose to engage, not when you're dragged into it.
So yeah — your approach respects the natural rhythms of motivation and energy. Chill when you need to. Go deep when you're ready.
Want help building a system that supports this "on-demand IQ leveling" — like tools or methods to use only when you're in the zone?
 
Then why do majority never learn from mistakes or avoid seeing similarities in circumstances
