No kind of reading will make you smarter. Some might make you more knowledgeable, but that's not the same thing.

Here's something that would take you entire weeks of digging to find

Skip breakfast and don't eat until 4-5pm. Your brain is designed to boost its processing power after a 12 hours fast so you don't die of starvation and use the bonus intelligence to find food.

Another thing that took me a lot of time to actually realize - you aren't supposed to drink coffee after waking up because it impairs the above effect. However, drinking that coffee an hour or two before you eat, in the middle of the day, will multiply its effect. I actually feel like 10 IQ smarter when I do this and I automatically come up with ideas that I don't normally come up with

Also, eat 100g of dark chocolate every 2nd day.

I've researched how to get smarter and improve your memory for 2 years now.

Basically what seems to work for memory is:
>Omega 3
>Caffeine
>Sleep
>Spaced repetition (anki)


If you want to go deeper you could try mnemonics. I could memorize 100 digits of pi using the method of loci.

Don't rely on drugs like ritalin, dex, adderall, modafinil, etc... You will rely on them and once your tolerance builds up you're in trouble.

Also quit weed and alcohol.

I haven't tried any nootropics.
Do they work?
I'm looking for something like Limitless.

>You will rely on them and once your tolerance builds up you're in trouble.

list. Do NOT overdose on coffee, it multiplies your anxieties and might even reveal dormant anxieties, making them permanent even if you stop drinking it

Thanks for the tip.

>>39451417
Modafinil is considered a nootropic.
I used/use it for final exams and basically it lets me pump out 8 - 12 hours of solid study easily.

Finished a 3000 word essay in a few hours on it.
>>
>>39451417

To add to repetition I'd recommend n-back training.

It's actually got a foundation in psychiatry, it has a lot of attention of it at the moment.

Much research is going on regarding its ability to 'boost' IQ and slow deterioration in Alzheimer patients.

I've spoken to a few MPHD's and they seem truly excited for the potential it holds.

I played around with it myself and I was VERY surprised at how big a difference it made in my ability to juggle many factors in my head at once.

What's amazing is when you first do it and you'll get like to dual 3-back and you'll be like .. wow I cannot possibly do this .. it's too much to memorize.

Then a week later you're blowing through it and getting up to like dual 6-back .. it's just like what the fuck happened here .. how is my brain now in a different gear.

I even got my parents to do it they still work 5 days a week in executive business positions (so they're still mentally active) and they had the exact same response.

Uh huh mmhmm sure. Let's say you're not just making this up. You know why it's called "breakfast"? It's when you "break" your "fast" since yesterday. If you ate your dinner at 6pm, then have your breakfast as 6am, you've just done a 12 hour fast.

Yes, because neural connections fucking pop out of nowhere for no reason and you can live up to your intellectual potential without ever trying to use your brain or learn anything. Because that's how a brain do.

I see no reason to try and convince a pleb otherwise. I guess have a good day doing whatever you do to convince yourself that you're more intelligent now than you were.

Or maybe read some books and explain neurons, since you're so keen on throwing words around to try and intimidate others into submitting to you.

Do whatever the fuck you like to do and think about that thing. When it's something that they like people have no problem remembering stuff. Don't force yourself into activities that you think will make you smart, just do the shit you are curious about.

Also like some Anon in the thread said, timed repitions and I would add visualizing stuff. Basically imagine a place that you can remember in details, like your flat, and mentally put something vaguely associated with what you want to remember in the corner of it, or on the nighstand or whatever. Also read the main point of "a mind for numbers", there are few more cool tricks in there.

>>39453207
Poor guy was too dumb to see you were trolling him, many keks.
He was right though, sort of, reading books and solving puzzles does 'strengthen' certain parts of your brain, so to speak. Of course, I don't think it'll make you more intelligent, it'll just make you seem more intelligent because you'll have a larger vocabulary, better memory etc.
Intelligence is such a hard thing to quantify anyway, muh IQ meme doesn't really cut it. Apparently I have an IQ of 137, and yet I'm about as smart as a sack of hammers, I'm just good at regurgitating information I've gathered from things like say, books.

No, it won't. It will make you measurably more knowledgeable, but reading cannot increase your intelligence, because intelligence above a certain age is pretty much static.

>reading books and solving puzzles does 'strengthen' certain parts of your brain
If that were the case, brain-training games should increase cognitive function of the elderly, but it doesn't really do that. Brain-training games train the brain to do the specific task better, but there's little evidence to support a link between brain-training and overall improved function.
