I'm surprised you didn't know that stuff. It was all out there at the time, but people forget things so quickly that nothing ever actually sticks in peoples minds.

The actual measure of intelligence is how many times you need to be exposed to something to retain it, and then how quickly you can integrate that new information into you existing worldview. The average person needs to see something 7 times to retain it in his memory, and from there I'm not actually sure if most people actually integrate knowledge.

You can become smarter in many ways. If you know you have to repeat a thing 7 times to remember it, then repeat it 7 times, 1 minute apart. If you want to learn to integrate new information, actually sit down and try to do it. Ask yourself, how does this relate to things I already know? Being smart isn't boring. It just that eventually you notice that you're trying to survive a zombie apocalypse. It's annoying, but I still think it's better than being a zombie
