You're right. It's quite simple. Just keep trying and eventually you'll become smarter. Due to how neurons work, you'll build stronger ones the more you use them. Of course, it takes time for neurons to grow since they also prune other useless neurons.

How many weeks does it take to see noticeable results though? Can stronger neurons be built in a week or two?

Stronger neurons can be built within the matter of a few seconds, but it really depends on what you require usage of those neurons for to see tangible results. In that sense, yes stronger neurons can be built in a week or two. Really, they build much more during your sleep cycle.

Well, you want to be smart in order to reduce how often you have to refer to other humans or stores of knowledge, correct?

Depends on what area of "g" you're trying to improve.

If you want success, money and pussy, you'd need a high verbal reasoning and processing speed. These two aren't that malleable. Certain mental illnesses (such as Autism) makes them near-impossible to change.

If you're looking to study autistic shit, become a STEMcuck and a betabux. You'd need high perceuptal reasoning and working memory. And these two are very malleable during developmental years and still sort of are after adulthood.

look up the recommended textbooks for abstract algebra and real analysis on /sci/ wiki. pick one of each that's undergraduate level and slowly work through them. they will start from assuming you don't know anything, if somehow they don't drop them and get another. they are probably all on libgen. obviously its better if you can get ones with solutions, you don't have to use the ones from the wiki thats just an easy place to start. don't look at solutions till you are 100% stuck no matter what though. this method is absolutely the best combination of price, simplicity, and effectiveness.

Do you want to be smart so you can DISMISS attention or ATTRACT attention? You can't really do both unless you're willing to be a dynamic intelligence, which most people find too much effort.

>Basic mental balance training can achieve both but you can sometimes fall victim to enjoying your own pattern-games and you'd need a lover/friend to help revert your deviation to true.

-Avoid porn and avoid Internet 2.0 (the one where each retard can comment or give you his opinion)

-Avoid Popsci, you learn nothing with them

-Learn a complex (and somewhat useful) language (Arabic, French, Chinese)

-Read books written before 1960

-Observe everything when you go out, try to understand patterns

Aerobic exercise, to be more specific (also HIIT to be even more specific). Studies have shown that it increases grey matter especially in the prefrontal cortex.

+2 exercise

Read books. Any reading makes you smarter, but quality books with good stories and rich vocabulary, nonfiction books will make you lot smarter

Learn things. Don't read an article and pretend you learned something. Learn hobbies, skills, technologies, entire areas of knowledge.

Eat a quality diet and lose weight. Fat people are objectively dumber. Probably due to inefficient biological processes.

A shit ton of fat makes you dumber because the body uses energy to maintain and burn it instead of using it on the brain (or any other organ for that matter). In other words, it literally makes you dumber AND weaker.
