We need meds to boost intelligence

[Quasar44]

It’s 2025 and I would be far more successful in life if I could boost my intelligence

Low brain wattage is no joke


Why don’t we have IQ drugs

Who knows , I could have been a doctor with it

 

[Quasar44]

You try owning a ups store for 20 years

I could have done better

Maybe even a Jewish banker

I don't know. We trusted a neurologist who gave my husband a drug that was supposed to boost his cognitive ability, especially in his driving skills, and the drug killed him.

Be careful with how much you trust the "doctors".

Nootropics are real.

I always say that G-d gave us all we need to solve every riddle, problem and health question, it's a matter of humans finding the solution (if they choose to).

I've done lots of drugs in my lifetime. They made me smart enough to not want any more of them.

You are absolutely right. All the medicine we need grows out of the earth.

Meh.

The smarter one gets, the fewer people there are to communicate with on your level. (any electronics technicians here?)

I would like a pill to make me play guitar like SRV though!

I had dreams , aspirations and ambitions

All turned to 1940s dust

Cocaine won't make you smart, but you'll think you are.

Perhaps you never really tried.

Alcohol has the same effect...

Christians ambition is getting a new fishing rod or pick up truck

Jews its very different

I don’t drink much or do drugs

I only take buspar and viibryd

Weird you should mention that. I was an electronics bench tech for about 12 years. But between breathing solder fumes and my hobby of bullet casting and handloading, I'm no genius.

Also weird you should mention SRV. I was a musician for 30 years trying to develop my skill to where I could play like Hendrix and then SRV. I got fairly decent at it, but those guys pretty much put me to shame. Especially after seeing some 13 year old kid who could play "Voodoo Child" the way he did.

And then just like that, the Texas music scene went from SRV to Pantera and Drowning Pool, so it didn't matter any more to me.

Not that I don't like Pantera and Drowning Pool, of course.

Makes ya think you can dance too. That can be hairy.

Fact.

Having lots of sex is good for your health.

I dance like a Cro Magnon when I'm sober, so drunken disco is out of the question.

I'm still a bench tech. I managed to acquire so much test equipment that is now mostly obsolete because nobody wants to pay for repairs anymore. So, now I'm trying to move into guitar builds and rebuilding old amps (toobfreak.)

I can play some slow SRV stuff like pride and joy. Really, I just wish I could play freely without getting frustrated. (I always get frustrated) LOL

I considered being a Ham operator too (so I could work on radios for Hams) but have you seen the crap on those tests?

Edit: I just took a test at that link. 74% not bad for not studying.

Some day I might go for it.

Higher IQ does not increase overall desire, interest, aptitude, skill levels. I know a lot of people of average normal intelligence who have achieved greatness while many who had high IQs made choices that prevented that.

Mensa level intelligence does not guarantee common sense or ability or increase competent choices or enhance ability to distinguish between right and wrong.

Few, if any, people utilize all the brain capacity they are capable of using.

We already have drugs that increase brain function in those who need that due to declining mental capacity. They don't work for everybody but many do benefit.

But far too many think alcohol, marijuana, or other drugs make them smarter. (Hint: they don't.)
