Thread 82257326

do people actually read and shit? you realize intelligence is genetic and you can't change it through practice right? if you can already read and write, that's as smart as you're ever gonna get. you can't learn from fictions, and learning from non-fiction doesn't matter unless it earns you money. reading is only useful if its an online pdf manual for a job that you're getting megabucks for. They should ban words in video games too, what is that gay nerd shit? Go Tate or go broke.

total frognigger death! sick of your bullshit

This is a massive topic but I'll try to shrink it down where you might be able to handle it despite your clear tendency to use this as a cope crutch as to why you should give up and not try.

First off only your ability to process is genetic, you still need to train it. Effective application of intelligence involves (and is mostly) extrapolation via your context window.

The analogy I like to use for this is that your ability to extrapolate information that you don't yet know (like how sherlock holmes solves crimes for example) is like knowledge in your brain is a three dimensional sudoku puzzle. Once you know enough surrounding information you can infer the remaining information and use that newly extrapolated information to make judgements about other information.

It's similar to how artificial intelligence uses a context window to keep many topics in their quickly accessed memory, your capacity intellectually as a human is very similar to an ai context window in function, but without the information backbone to access you are a useless husk.

Maybe a decade ago I watched youtube videos at fairly default speeds, but I've slowly been ramping it up and at this point watch videos from 2 to 4 times speed depending on the rate of speaking contained within, I constantly listen to audiobook equivalents on high speed as well. The information I have soaked up in this time has allowed me to effectively snowball my 3D sudoku puzzle of information.

im not reading that. one or two sentences max bruh. get real.

>>82257741
ok mr smart guy. Tell the class if nukes are real

The only people who say what you said OP are people with severe ADHD which poor reading comprehension unless it's something they extremely enjoy.

>>82257973
imagine this skibidi nigga reading out a book when he at his girls butthole like "i iz charlie brown" or some shit lmfao get real thats no way to rizz bruh

>>82257962
I read a paragraph in the time you read a few words out loud. To gamify it, I have like a +1000% exp boost while you're grinding off an exp debt for dying repeatedly.

Polio isn't real, but radiation is.

there's no way this person is real, right?

You don't need to be smart to read anon

>>82257741
This is a good reply but that context window heavily relies on memory and recall, which a lot of low IQ people struggle with.

>I was just talking about this in a different thread
Even if you are intelligent it doesnt mean you are wise. Sure you have the ability to pick up on things quickly and are able to put shit together in your head, pattern recognition and shit, but if you cant apply the knowledge or life experience or lessons you learn, its gonna mean fuckall. I was often called a retard in school by the people around me but a lot of the so called gifted people I knew in highschool would fuck up the same way over and over and never think to change their course of action accordingly, no ability to reflect or contemplate. Yeah theyre smart enough to understand calculus and biochemistry and the shit I struggled with but I would see them fumble so much in their day to day life just lacking common sense. Anecdotal but you probably know what I am talking about yourself and have seen it. Being able to learn is useless without the ability to apply said knowledge. I think if anything they should teach critical thinking in school, literally all of the teachers I had would throw it around as a buzzword but never bother equipping their students with it. They should teach children how to form actual arguments and deductive and inductive reasoning as a requirement.

>>82258084
so tldr even if you arent an intelligent person it is still a great idea to learn how to reflect and reason and create solid arguments. this will put you ahead of half of the IQfags

>To gamify it, I have like a +1000% exp boost while you're grinding off an exp debt for dying repeatedly.

The real robot of /r9k/ right here

>>82258082
memory and recall are both enhanced in retarded people. autists can read pages of books with eyes going in opposite directions and remember every word but they can't stop masturbating in public.

>>82258182
In some retards yes

Intelligence is not "being smart." That is knowledge or wisdom. It still is an important metric, because people with higher intelligence can; solve problems, recognize patterns, or obtain knowledge quicker and easier. So they can become smart and educated in a topic faster. However it cannot measure what someone knows, or their proficiency in a field. The average person who studies every day will be seen as smarter than the gifted person who does nothing but smoke weed everyday.
That said there is some validity to someone with a genetically doomed IQ, but for reading it tends to be an IQ below 85. An average person (100 IQ) can learn almost any topic fine if they are dedicated, there are a few outlier topics where an IQ of 105-115 becomes a cut off (though said fields tend to have people with an IQ around 120-130 even interested in them). Really though after this point, you are capable of learning any topic possible and entering any field. At this point being more gifted just becomes an advantage to excel and stand out more.
