How do I become a more intelligent person?

You don't have to. You're on /his/, fucking no one on this board can do any of those things either.

/his/ does not encompass all of my life I'm afraid.

Then get out of here. Just read books. Stop wasting your time and keep reading. Read the footnotes/endnotes, read those books, read essays and journal entries about those books, and read the critical responses to those. You will get absolutely nothing here of any intellectual value whatsoever.

I do plan on reducing the time spent here and I recently read a book to completion for the first time in a long while. Just read 20 pages of a book an hour ago or so

I was wondering if there were more specific resources I could turn to. I hope at least one user on here could prove useful

No. You need to read. There's no shortcut. You simply have to do the reading. At a bare minimum, you should be reading at least one book per week. Not having read a book to completion "in a long while" is entirely unacceptable. You can't learn that way. Do the work.

Yes sir, understood

But I wanted resources, as in books or journals, dedicated to improving your ability to reason philosophically. I believe it as much about developing a skill as it is collecting information
