average intelligence

How the fuck do I cope with the fact that I'm average intelligence? Everything I want to do in life requires at the very least being above average. I feel so hopeless.

>always be lethargic and unmotivated with brain fog
>start exercising hard 2 months ago
>now filled with energy all day, want to concentrate on stuff and do things that require brainpower, can't sit still and NEED to be productive

What's the scientific explanation behind this insane increase in energy I have ever since I started exercising?

I don't do anything at all, I'm locked in my room all day wasting my time on stupid things. My diet is a mess, I eat anything (usually meat or processed) whenever I want; I can go long periods of time without eating anything, and suddenly I am extremely hungry. I don't do any sports.
I feel a mental fog all the time, I find it difficult to think and my head and eyes hurt. I feel like my IQ has dropped by at least 30 points.
How would the situation change if I do sports and have a good/orderly diet?
Improving my brain by these two simple actions and increasing IQ is the only thing that would motivate me to change, otherwise I will remain in the eternal shit hole aimlessly.
All this for scientific purposes, of course.
Worth it?

Serious question, why every scientists wouldn't have one global science database/website, where EVERY scientific entity participate (labs, individual scientists, doctors, physics, chemistry, biology, everythoing)
You can then publish any work in here, quote others, or have discussion and collaborate to solve issues
Universities would deliver tags to specific accounts (phd, doctorate in X) as authority, but no authority wouldn't prevent you to publish, just that you wouldn't be taken seriously or mostly filtered by the internal search engine (dropdown: filter non validated scientists)

This place would be great for funding, you could also answer for commercial or industrial demands, as a way to make a living, money, or a fortune
Use something like the bitcoin blockchain to make some information immutable or impossible to censor, like for account ownsership, proving you're who you claim you are, to prove you discovered it before X, or simply making knowledge immutable for future generation

Regular people could see consensus on precise topics, there would be no media third party to be between regular people and actual scientists

So why does that not exist?

Did we waste an entire generation fighting the wrong greenhouse gas?

I'm just going to state beforehand that I have no real evidence to back up what I'm about to say, so take it with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, I'm becoming increasingly convinced that humanity has made a terrible mistake.

In my honest opinion, it's Methane, not CO2 that we should be fighting tooth and nail to contain and suppress. We really never should have worried about CO2 to begin with because it can easily be converted back into oxygen, either by the environment or by artificial means.

And then there's CH4. Unlike CO2, it is lighter than air so it tends to rise high into the stratosphere. Also unlike CO2, there are far less organisms that can break down CH4, and even those tend to only live deep underground and deep below the ocean floor.

There are enormous quantities of methane buried under the arctic ice and under permafrost that is essentially the elephant in the room that the /green/ crowd seems to be ignoring.

Am I wrong? I'd actually feel better if I was.

We already know what happens and how it looks like when you break the sound barrier. But what happens when you break the light barrier?
