What are some surefire ways to improve my intellect, /sci/? I feel like a major brainlet and I'd like to be smart. Are things like Chess, brainteasers etc the way or what about learning a language or studying maths? Or maybe I should launch my head against a wall and hope it turns me into a savant? I'm tired of being brainlet

Unfortunately, IQ is mostly fixed for life.

You can get really good at specific tasks through practice, but it won't improve your overall intelligence.

Fortunately, drugs can help you. Take ritalin, modafinil, or any other ADHD medication.

It won't make you permanently smarter, but it will temporarily improve your attention span and working memory.

Stop caring so much. Attaching your ego to intelligence is really quite pathetic.

What about attaching my ego to my sexual experiences (or lack of)?

Work very extremely absurdly hard on something within math, learn a language, etc. Do not give yourself any breaks until you've made good progress, then stop for a pretty long amount of time and re-do it.
Basically just stress yourself out so much that plasticity decides it has to take action

Dual n back 10 mins a day. Not sure about a carryover but had a 2 month breAk away from it and pretty much mantained all the buildup progress, so here is that, it doesnt feel too worthless. Otherwise just focus on some brain heavy discipline you love, majority of us do math i suppose

Disregard notions of intellect. Pursue meaningful knowledge. You suggest math, yes, do that. If you get 100% mastery on Khan Academy I will send you a cookie that I've baked myself. Philosophy and physics are the most useful and meaningful forms of knowledge. Pursue them diligently and you will attain the wisdom you seek.
