2015-07-16 at 9:01 PM UTC[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] hi mislav. just wondering, do you take any nootropics?
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] ?
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] brain function enhancing drugs
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] nope
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] should i?
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] im surprised more people in high IQ societies aren't interested in nootropics
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] r u merchant?
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] well the hippocampus can generate neurons into adulthood through neurogenesis, one of the few areas that can, may improve mood, may improve cognition
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] no, i'm interested in intelligence as well as neuroscience
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] and i think there should be more of an association between the two
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] hm..
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] btw, do you have any opinions or advice for my tests? http://highiqtests.weebly.com/

[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] u r searching for guinea pig?
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] i'm my own guinea pig
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] lol
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] and?
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] i think it helps…i mean, it could always be placebo effect, but i've had some very uncanny experiences
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] i may have suffered from a TBI as a child, and in that case certain muscles may become weak due to low innervation, at times i have my muscles "pop" into place and get an intense headrush that resembles nitrous oxide, which i assume is neurogenic neurotransmitters being released
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] tell me more
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] i used to have a lisp on the right side of my face, so my tongue on the right side of my face was weak, but when i take these supplement, i hear cracking sounds as well as feel muscle movements in that side of my face that i didnt previously experience or was aware as possible
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] so i dont know, maybe it's helping me recover from a brain injury, and these supplements could be used in non-injured people as a way to cognitively enhance oneself?
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] who knows really, becoming a guinea pig is a lifestyle, all i know is that i'm experiencing things that aren't normal to human life
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] what scientists said?
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] google "neurogenesis"
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] brain derived neurotrophic factor
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] and the various substances associated with it
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] i will
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] like SSRIs, pircetam, valproate, antipsychotics, theanine
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] psychiatric medications are basically brain growth pills IMO because mental illness is a direct result of brain injury/dysfunction and these medications work by repairing those systems
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] i've gotten prescribed 5 different medications that i don't actually need, and i take them for the sake of the cognitive benefits
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px]
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] familiar?
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] that came off badly, i mean, i asked a psychiatrist to be prescribed those medications, told them it was for something that i dont actually have, and i take them because i appreciate the concept of growing my brain
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] i dont get it frown emoticon
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] home alone
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] kid mvie
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] no relation
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] ok
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] ive been asked that so
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] do you have any grand world theories? i'd assume someone who scored a 192 on the LS24 has pretty much the entire system figured out
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] heh
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] with ages
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] more sure that love is the only key
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] and youth
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] no science theory could make me more happy
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] i think consciousness is a fractal, and delusions and hallucinations are true because they are interpreting reality in some form or another, and there is no such thing as a "wrong" answer
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] hmmm
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] but what you said is probably much more fulfilling, and it reminds me of a line from interstellar, that love is the one concept that can extend past time and space
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] on consciousness being a fractal. i believe in telepathy because if you see ants they're communicating intuitively to perform actions that serve the hive, so human nonverbal communication is probably a ombination of gestures as well as pheromone signals secreted in sweat and things like that, to ants we're planets, to us they're ants, and the reason people experience alien abduction-like hallucinations and delusions is because earth is merely a planet and humans are merely a certain species of aliens, and human cognition operates as a whole as operators for entities that are revealed by psychedelic chemicals that activate receptors which alter reality enhancementing
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] it's pretty far out but that's how i think the world works
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] probably
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] lol
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] also, the empty set is God
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] and isil?
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] islam? alah?
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] well i think all religions are different interpretations of the same phenomena
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] true
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] this is going to sound bizarre, but i experienced the sensation of the empty set smoking spice on dextromethorphan. I realized as an "insight" that the empty set is the self-invoking meme, it exists because for something to exist, existence is a separate factor in itself. The only way to experience the empty set is to actually experience it, and it is the empty set because no other operators can describe it, because it is 100% unique
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] i mean maybe this is more a spirituality than anything that can actually be agreed on, i mostly just think psychedelic drugs are the key to the universe, to enhancement out information from your neurons so you understand the underlying themes, and then nootropics increase efficacy when working with these themes
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] i never used drugs
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] some drugs are bad, some are good, psychedelics increase associative learning and promote neurogenesis, as well as providing personal ephiphanies, just stay away from substances that are "meat pleasures", basically euphoriants that do nothing for one's personal benefit except make them feel good for a few hours
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] though amphetamine can greatly increase mathematical and verbal productivity and intricacy for short periods of time
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=12px] which is why they prescribe amphetamines as ADHD medications, which I am on. 20 milligrams of adderall daily.
