Is it possible to increase your IQ even if it's genetic? Can other human race become smart too?

>>509489663 (OP)
genetics are a framework, there are margins plus or minus the frame

>>509489663 (OP)
I’d argue it’s both. You need pressures and genetics
Both my parents are smart as fuck, but I am not

>>509489663 (OP)
>Is intelligence acquired or inherited?
both

>>509489663 (OP)
It's 80% genetic with the rest being based on developing mental skills and discussing high level ideas with peers. You can probably increase it further with hardcore neurotrophic drugs, which nobody in the general population does, but besides that no.


Intelligence, empathy and personality are largely genetically inherited, with personality being less genetic the higher a person's intelligence and empathy are.

>>509489663 (OP)
Personally i believe that its down to both gentic factors but also what youre exposed to as a kid. If you have a high exposure to literature, maths, science, music ect then your chances of being intelligent go up

>>509489663 (OP)
genetics is the ceiling
you can only make it worse than what you were gifted

>>509489911

Is there any form of exercise or training to increase your IQ? I've been wondering about that.

>>509489663 (OP)
The hardware is generic, the software is cultural. Christ is King.

>>509490052
Facing challenges that require you to think and problem solve. Just a guess, I’m not nearly as smart as my parents are

>>509489663 (OP)
Yes.
It depends on the early childhood, before the age of 6 though. Good parenting, rich diet, lots of stimuli.

Don't expect becoming a genius in your thirties.

Nigger.

>>509490035
Having a high IQ =\= having a good knowledge pool. You can be extremely intelligent but incapable of high school maths because you were never exposed to the logic of maths in any meaningful way. Estonia was an uneducated backwater overwhelmingly descended from illiterate peasants and now it has one of the highest IQs and academic performances in Europe. Without education and opportunity, IQ alone cannot produce

>>509490052
Dual N Back can probably increase it. But mainly I think you'd need neurotrophic drugs, like that new LSD variant that doesn't cause hallucinations but still tells your serotonin receptors to upregulate your brain plasticity

Good DNA and Genetics in the brain area can get you between 1 and in rare cases 2 standard deviations right with minimal help. Likewise ideal help in the educational area, best tutors, stoic father to make you strong, wealth and 19 years of top recognized education, is good for buying a standard deviation right of median but it's no silver bullet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HRmfIEWtyo

Now that the operating principles of the brain have escaped into digital world, and intelligence can be mechanically separated from data in exchange for solar mass quantities of energy, over the next thousand years the "self" and core of thinking is going to slowly migrate into bio-neural gelpacks, everyone has one in their pocket and maybe a big one in a backpack. And there's one in every house and a bigger one on every street corner, and bigger still at the central office, and the biggest one at the nest of the dominant polyergus formica that has its own nuclear reactor to power it.

It can be increased in software, so by definition, it can be increased in biology too, it's just hard, because education isn't a silver bullet, it just shows you the door.

DNA and Genes are the greater portion of IQ, in the way people meant to mean it, if you want to get to that coveted 2 sigma right.

It's also no gravy train either, since people hate intelligence in others.

>>509490431
Isn't using such substances kind of risky to the brain? I wouldn't fuck with that.

>>509490565
Nothing ventured nothing gained

>Is IQ Genetic?
Extremely, and here's how you can prove it.

There are humans in the 3rd world that are so close to the ape kingdom, that they cannot learn a spoken language, even if you teach them from birth, and people know, because scientists have tried and failed.

Said another way, you know how it's next to impossible to teach a monkey to talk, well the same is the case with humans. Some humans cannot be taught a spoken language and so the best you can hope for is grunts, shouts and sign language like pointing.

At these extremes, genetic is to IQ as blueprint for how to build a car is "a car". Brain architecture is still a mystery to us, you can tell which architecture is the right one by measuring the amount of fruit the tree drops.

>>509489663 (OP)
IQ is given when your brain is healthy, which is a result of genetics and environmental factors. Once one is healthy, they need only to acquire information, understand the information by attempting to put it to good use. Like a working computer hardware.

>>509489663 (OP)
> acquired or inherited
20/80 give or take.

>>509489663 (OP)
It's mostly genetic.

>>509491579

>>509491019
>healthy
loaded word
a better way is to use an analogy
like in video games, certain items give
certain enhancements but have detriments or costs
this is a better way to describe it than "healthy"
healthy just means you are doing
what "scientists" and "experts" have determined
through their socialized, economically controlled
lenses
it is not something sacrosanct
for example, you could sleep a little less, be
"less healthy" according to them, but
now you have more energy and get more done

>>509489663 (OP)
Absolutely impossible.
It's like obesity, none of your food habits, the exercise you do or your life style, have anything to do with it.
It's 100% genetic.

>>509492340
I don't think healthy is loaded word. You are either sick and dying or healthy. Any intelligent scientist can identify the difference. Just quantify the work being done by the mitochondria in the cells.

>>509492391
If it's 100% genetic then why when I read authors of the 19th century they seems like genius and modern authors seems like drooling retards ?

>>509490109
>>509490052
This is the correct answer. IQ is like a muscle, inofar as you can use it, it can improve. Unfortunately, genetics has its day in court. There is a Causality based threshold limiting your options.

It's almost entirely grnetic. You can refine maybe a few points with education, but your potential window is established before you are born.

>>509492731
Never heard of irony, comrade ?

>>509489663 (OP)
Intelligence: inherited

/thread

>>509492731
Because people in the 19th century were far more intelligent than people today. IQ has been declining for years. For the last couple decades the decline has been rapid. Idiocracy wasn't supposed to happen until 2505, yet here we are.

>>509493114
Everything is inherited. Time is a flat cirlce

>>509489663 (OP)
nah, you're fucked

>>509489663 (OP)
It's mostly genetic I think. I remember having an umbilical cord on my stomach. I remember my crib from when I was like 1. I have always had a really good memory. A teacher told me once it takes a person like 60 times of repeating something to remember it, but it only takes a kid like 15 times. So I would echo things in my head when I read them. I'd read a sentence and repeat it 15 times. I did this for things I cared to learn about. I realized that memorizing facts doesn't matter. Peoole just say "you're so smart" and change the subject. How can you actually achieve intelligence? Through failures, successes, and application. You have to find ways to utilize what you have remembered. If you have spent your life studying trains so you can work in a warehouse you're a fucking retard no matter how much you know about trains. People tend to mix up intelligence and memory. I can walk into something that somebody spent 12 years studying and figure it out on my own within a year. The difference between me and most people is the same as the difference between most people and literal retards. Every single day of my life is painful because I spend 90% of my time trying to figure out if people are even real cause it would have to be some sort of divine joke to have this many brainless retards floating around bumping off of shit and drooling everywhere. I constantly hope I died at some point and this is my punishment and you guys aren't actually the people I am supposed to help. Anyways, the smartest people alive don't talk to people. You will never know them. My knowledge is limited by your understanding so knowing things you can't understand is useless. You can't teach people. You can only shift the social consciousness in that direction, and then it will be a belief. They won't ever understand what you're saying and make a conscious choice. They will believe you and leave the burden of responsibility on you.

My IQ has changed since I last did it since it was at 3am and I couldn't be arsed the first time.

How can you measure smartness anyway? Making a correct answer in a test? Then you just need to know the answer for a test. That's a knowledge measurement. Not smartness.

>>509489663 (OP)
IQ is potential
You are born with a pre-defined IQ, but you may choose to train your mind to reach your full potential.
This means you can't get smarter than you were designed for. I.E.: No matter how hard you try, you won't ever manage to express super-human intellect.

>>509489663 (OP)
Genetics sets the boundaries, but environment sets where you are within those bounds.

Genetically i would argue that most people have the capacity to land somewhere between 90-115 but environment determines where that is.

>>509494911
IQ is just a knowledge measurement. You just need a right mind set to spot the answer that are judged to be right by the test maker.

Proper nutrition from a young age and learning new skills

What is (%#/!^ odhdh288&#,) + (181838@*!*) ??

Failure to answer make you low IQ.

inherited mostly.
the correlation coefficient is not 1 though, education, upbringing, diet, utilizing and training your brain will increase it.

There have been studies on identical twins reared apart where one twin's iq was 1 to 2 standard deviations higher than the other

you can't explain this to the jerry springer people who took percentage from 100 to 1000% to 1,000,000% because, of course, a bigger number must mean more.

odds of two smart people having a smart or smarter kid are pretty low ackshually, something like 20% maybe, higher odds to have average or below average IQ kid
but still higher odds than two dumb people having smart kid

This has been scientifically tested.
We have identical twin data for all cultures, ethnicities.
The answer has been known since the 1980s. The reason you don't know about it is the answer is very inconvenient, so was suppressed.
Intelligence is ~80% heritable. Which means about 80% of the variability is genetically determined.

>>509493988
So what the fuck do smart people do? Lord over retards? My "empathy" prevented that, but if they are just retards you need move around that makes sense. Oh shit now I get why trolling and shit has devolved into basic political banter. They can't actually understand the sentence, they just read the feelings of the words lol

How can you measure the potential of a God?

That doesn't mean anything dumbass. Potential for what? Just "overall potential"? How do you measure an opinion? Measurement is not a worthwhile topic when applied to abstract bullshit. How do we measure what having a good day feels like? What the fuck are you talking about stoner?

But that defeats the purpose.

It's the equivalent to memorizing the eye chart, which wouldn't make vision meaningless.

>>509495984
A better test would be to have two islands. One is inhabited by a smart child the other a dumb one. Who would fair better if they were of similar build?

>>509496398
it doesn't make vision meaningless but it does makes both the chart and the measures you get with it meaningless.
IQ tests and the results are completely meaningless when you can easily cheat and manipulate the results.

I tend to find people with lower IQs (sub 100) tend to, as you'd expect, be dumb. But when it comes to people with higher IQs (105 and upwards) it tends to vary massively. I've met people who are 105 IQ and intellectually mog people of 130 IQ, likely because an 'x factor' is in play.

probably not but it's largely irrelevant unless engaging in a field requiring and dominated by geniuses - math and physics. even then to quote anon "naturals can take larger bites" but it's a grind all the same.
i think it would behoove you to first acquaint yourself with what should be considered within normal human range for processing. you may be surprised by the result of learning speed reading and mental calculation (how to calculate quickly by Sticker). improvement of problem solving solving skills is where most of your gains will be made. you might also want to checkout Improvement of the Mind by Watts.

>>509496809
The X factor is typically your misplacement of yourself on the scale. Knowledge is limited by the audience's understanding. You thought the other guy was smarter cause it made sense to you and your thoughts. As you climb that ladder it get restricted near the top, and widens at the top. This is because people hit a wall and the diversity in opinions shrinks. Past this wall you know that people saying things you don't agree with are 90% correct, but FOR YOU a certain part is wrong. It doesn't make them wrong or less intelligent, one of you is just missing sonething. An intelligent person can identify what is missing and clear up the confusion. A retard masquerading would try to quantify the petson's intelligence in lieu of the brain power required to solve the equation. So it's safe to say you think lower IQ's are more intelligent because you are less intelligent than you believe. Gg nt
