I still think of myself as seriously stupid, more so than anyone at work, or any of my friends. To become "smart" is impossible in some peoples standards, as although you may be perceived as such by those who see it as something simple, such as a job title or your degree classification; those of whom realise that being "smart" is multifaceted will realise that you can never truly be as such.

Here's what you can do about it: 1. You can neglect the fact that it, collectively, was effective, and choose not to take action because you can't determine what, individually, was or was not effective OR 2. You can do your own research into each and every one of these categories to figure out what will yield you the most results OR 3. You can take it blindly and apply these actions to your own self, despite having the risk of some of them not being effective. It just happens that because people don't have the luxury to run thousands of experiments on their own selves, they mostly choose to go with the 3rd option.

One of the biggest ways to get smarter is to sleep well. Look up how industrialization->Modernization along with the phasing out of the biphasic sleep cycle in the Mediterranean countries has done to health outcomes. The hippocampus is meant for short-term learning and memory storage but it definitely has a capacity that can be hit during a day's work. A nap deep enough to activate your sleep spindles allows for the transfer of short-term to long-term memory and therefore clears up your hippocampus for more learning.

My thoughts precisely. It's hard to tell from just a 15 minute video, but Dan Hurley did come across as a bit too willing to accept results that went along with his expectations. A good example is how he presented the "nicotine reduces the intensity of Parkinson's symptoms" study. From what Dan is saying, one gets the impression that it's a foregone conclusion that nicotine will have said effect on people with Parkinson's. This is likely not the case. Although the research is very interesting, the health benefits of chronic nicotine use are often unreliable or even inconclusive. Check "Beneficial Effects of Nicotine" (Jarvik, British Journal of Addiction, 1991) for more on the potential health benefits of nicotine.

[@ashleyyoungman8967]

On the Topic of Bi-Polarity of the Human Brain (and while we’re on the subject, human intelligence and the philosophy of questions) by Ashley France Brown ‘87 I am not a scientist. I always wanted to be a scientist. Destiny, however, had another life in store for me. I want to be up front with that, so there is no misunderstanding that what I am putting forth here has ever met with academic, scientific blessing. It is, however, my experience, and an experience it has been, indeed. For what I have discovered in the period of time since I matriculated at Brown and the present has been a wealth of knowledge about the workings of the human brain - a brain mapping, of sorts. (This is a very jolly field these days, just as bi-polar disorder was the darling of the 2000’s.) And this knowledge, as so many other things in my crazy life, has come to me inside out. You see, mine was a twisted but meteoric rise. From early childhood I excelled in science, math, language, classical piano, art. At 17, I graduated a year early from high school and was accepted at Brown University. By 19, I was pregnant, penniless, and wife to what would become a physically abusive Dutchman. But failure was my motivator. By 26, I had a full-time job as a paralegal, had another baby, divorced said battering husband, and finished at Brown on a full academic scholarship (Cum Honoribus in Lingua Gallica, thank you very much!). I became (as a woman - unheard of back then) the CFO and Director of Administration of one of Providence’s three largest law firms by age 32. At 34, I attended the Harvard Business School’s Executive Education Program. And then suddenly I crashed and burned. I was stricken down like Icarus by the blight (or blessing?) of severe Bi-Polar 1 Disorder, diagnosed borderline psychotic. My first nervous breakdown came in 1995, at the tender age of 34, though in retrospect I can easily trace the disorder leading up to that life-quake back to episodes with severe migraine headaches and depression in my late adolescence. And like most people who find themselves in a terribly, clinically depressed state for the first time, I believed it would be my first and ONLY time. I just needed a rest. How adorable. What followed, however, was to be years and years of cycles within cycles of depression and mania and depression, medications that turned me into a zombie, a plethora of hospital admissions, rounds and rounds of ECT (this is the politically correct term for electro-shock therapy) &c, all the while desperately trying to hold down a job and raise now three children on my own. At first I saw this, as I am sure most of you do, as a Great Tragedy - a huge sine wave traveling the x-axis of a mood graph: up and down, up and down. The brand-spanking-new DSM 5 (the Holy Bible of Psychiatric Diagnosis) would certainly agree with you. But here is the unexpected outcome of my decades-long struggle: What I have learned from such an extraordinary Odyssey is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that the sine wave of my “illness” does NOT wind along the x-axis of our mood graph, but actually winds back and forth, left to right, along the y-axis of a brain graph (i.e., the shifting back and forth of consciousness between the Left Mind and the Right Mind), with the secondary effect of changing mood. It is my experience, (and I refer you here to Dr. Jill Bolte-Taylor - a real scientist - who expresses much the same experience in her wonderful TED Talk, My Stroke of Insight), that the left hemisphere of the brain works with what computer scientists call a serial processor, feeding one bit of information at a time to the Left Brain, keeping Time from past to present, calculating probabilities for the future, processing memories and conclusions in linear form. This side of the brain is uniquely involved in the functioning of Grammar - for language, for math, for music, for values. It is very clinical in its demeanor. It does not Hope, but rather rationalizes its future. Most importantly, this brain gives Voice to Mankind. Juxtapose this with the right hemisphere, which runs with a parallel processor, able to take in and process entire matrices of information in an instant, as if rather than speed reading, the entire book popped into your mind all at once. This side of the brain, redundancy notwithstanding, controls our sense of color, of pattern, of space, of dance and play and creativity and aesthetics. A cyclical beast, the right hemisphere exists in a perpetual state of emotional joy and happiness, where the Hope valve is always fully open, and all possibilities exist. The Right Brain is a world where Time is substituted with Eternal Peace. It is at One with the Universe. And yet, it has no language, no Voice with which to speak. All of which brings us back to our sine wave. Given my history with “mental illness,” what I am proposing here is that what we refer to as the “severe” mental illnesses are a result of the Right Brain shutting itself off from the Left Brain. To use an analogy, the Left Brain is the little brother, darling and sharp, but hopelessly annoying, and the Right Brain is its older sister, kind and patient, exponentially brighter, but not unwilling to smack her sibling upside the head every now and again. Left alone in the cold and rational left side of the brain, is it any wonder that one becomes distraught? Left alone without voice in the right side of the brain, is it any wonder that one bangs his or her head against the wall? Most people are not consciously in control of the workings of the Right Brain, thus the speculation that we only use about 10% of our actual brain power. We can see examples of right-hemisphere consciousness, however, in people who are musically, artistically, physically creative, in people who are left handed, in people who exhibit genius or savant, and in people who fall along the spectrum of brain “disorders” from schizophrenia to bi-polar to autism to Asperger’s to ADHD and dyslexia. I will recommend here that you take a look at the TED Talk of Dr. Temple Grandin on the subject (The World Needs All Kinds of Minds). She also bears the academic credentials that I do not. It is my opinion that these “mental illnesses” are only deemed to be illnesses by people who generally have little or no conscious control of the Right Brain. Sadly, we have come to this wretched prejudice toward the “mentally ill” simply because it is very rare for a person who lives consciously in the Right Mind to be able to give Voice that mind, as language ability is restricted to Broca’s Cortex located in the left hemisphere of the brain. Ergo, what we have misconstrued as “idiotic” or “irrational” is actually a simple problem of Translation and, as I noted in the beginning of this piece. I just happen to be one of the lucky few who have both a conscious Left and Right Mind, and a breadth of knowledge of foreign languages that has enabled me, after around 20 years of Solitary Confinement in my own brain, to have discovered a Center Mind, the Great Arbitrator and Translator, the Mother in the Middle that seems so elusive to our general experience as Homo sapiens. This, my friends, is syzygy. The world of psychiatry is in its primitive state, hundreds of years behind the world of other medicine. Worse, the deck is stacked by Left-Brain thinkers, who make up IQ tests and other means of psychometrics. Still, this discovery of mine does not intrude on the general knowledge of the psychology of personality development, nor is it particularly helpful for the growing number of people suffering from stress-related depression. It does, however, suggest a new direction for psychiatry and the treatment of the more severe “disabilities,” what I will call Translation Deficiencies common to most people, “mentally ill” or not. Niels Bohr once said that an Expert is a person who has found out, by his own painful experience, all the mistakes that one can make in a very narrow field. Using this definition, I will call myself something of an expert in neuro-hemispherical translation. Yet my purpose here is certainly not self-aggrandizement, but rather a most humble pleading with the psychiatric community to take another look at what we are doing to those millions of our fellow Human Beings, myself included, whose only “problem” is the inability of the rest of the World to understand their perspective. I am beseeching someone in psychiatric academia to work with me in documenting and growing this method of treating the “mentally ill” or, to put it more bluntly, I wish to change the current psychiatric paradigm (freshly minted in the DSM 5). Brown University is notorious in the Ivy League for its philosophy of teaching its students how to ask the right questions, rather than how to give the right answers. The question is, is anyone up for the challenge of shifting paradigms? Who would like to learn to speak Right Brain? I am certainly willing to translate… Northampton, MA 14 February, 2014

Can i be a smarter like others

Hey man don't you be lying cuz I got my life riding on this shitnow

[@selvmordspilot]

i'm sort of sick of the introduction to these videos by now. 1 funny quote and 2 idiotic ones.

[@xDevacorex]

which is the funny and which would you consider 'idiotic'

[@selvmordspilot]

first one is a joke about economers making silly assumptions,

[@MoerreNoseshine]

I agree. When you watch a lot of videos even a 5 second intro is annoying. Just start the video, 1-2s wait is all that's tolerable. And this intro is 30 seconds long! It's only a very minor inconvenience of course, yet it should be permitted to mention it.

Some aspects of intelligence seem to be improvable, like working memory, but some don't, like IQ. Knowledge and specific skills can of course be improved.

[@DavidBloodJohnson]

You can always raise your IQ. The brain is always changing, it’s whether or not the person wants to encourage the change. Brain plasticity: the brains ability to heal and reorganize itself

[@yayhayes]

Facts it’s a difference between intelligence and G factor.

[@NewAgeWorkout]

Honestly I dont know where I stand on this. It just seems that people cant even define what intelligence is. I think you could probably affect it even if it's just a little, but I'm not sure. I definitely know genetics has a role here, but I definitely believe that you can increase your intelligence in at least some ways. It would be allot easier if people could give us a hard definition of intelligence. I think perhaps there are multiple intelligence's, people can be smart in different ways. There's just too much we dont understand in my opinion.

[@ben_alfred]

The advanced Ravens progressive matrices (which he mentioned he improved on) is the highest correlate with g (general cognitive ability) out of all individual cognitive tests. Working memory is also a constituent of iq tests.

Has anyone tried donepezil?

How's the example with Beatles relevant to intelligence and working hard...

Im sure this was a nice talk, but because of that god forsaken fucking American style of raising every final sound of every spoken part of the sentence like there's a point to it forced me to turn this off.

kind of ridiculous that you can't sit down and simply watch a video because you don't like how someone sounds...
