you will hit your intellectual peak at 34yo

MY experience was I knew a lot of crap, unfortunately most of it was wrong.

If you dont get a chance to grow old you never will weed out the the horseshit by experience. That is what wisdom is. You are born with smarts, or not, but wisdom is something you have to earn through the embarrassment of failure.

Eyesight too.
I used to have a fantastic memory + (IQ 135)
I NEVER took books home from school.
Never did homework.
I aced tests by reading ahead in class.
I could take a car apart, and close my eyes
and see where I left every single part.
I never misplaced anything.

In my 40s when my eyesight and memory started
to decline, I WAS DEVASTATED.
I learned to live with it, but to have such a
gift and see it disappear is horrifying.

At times I almost wished I was born stupid.



I'm still pretty smart, but NOTHING like I
was in my teens and twenties.

you need to be objectively smarter than everyone at everything

Depends on lifestyle,and other factors.
Don't believe everything you read or they tell ya.
Today date is purple.

offset it with nootropics, caffeine, NAD, lithium, lionsmane and others.

Dark roast coffee

if we were all the same make and model, like machines, this would be undeniable

but these meat machines are hugely variable, and such sweeping generalizations are fraught with danger

on the other hand, on a long enough timeline...



The "experts" in the 1970's had a very different notion of how memories are made than the current group of "experts"

no doubt, the next group will be just as certain


use it or lose it, and eat yer veggies

Nope, I was intellectually superior as a 16yr old!

Then I just got dumber & dumber in my 20's & 30's.

Fuck I'm 34 now. Or 35? Lol I better get on my legacy :) All down hill from here

My employer for 33 years, once gave me a T-shirt and written on it was:" The older I get the better I used to be" Cool guy to work for. We often trashed each other.

Don't think so

By 60 your brain already lost the battle against parassites, molds, bacteria and it is starved from oxygen e nutrients and so myeline,neurons,blood vessels,brain barrier and brain linfatic system are all fuck up.

My dad seemed to get more intellectual as he aged, even had several books published starting on his 50's up until his death woth mp prior creative writing experience.

Haven't met a millennial with any ability yet.


Plenty of feelings and happy horseshit. But useless.

So that is why I’m not good at wordle

I don't know, my 18 year old daughter thinks she knows everything. So did I when I was 18...

If I had a time machine, I would go back and kick my own ass.

True only if you stop learning. Most stop after HS or college.

Yes + adequate sleep & exercise of the body

All in moderation of course, for the greatest potential.

Gen X here

Met a couple with real potential, but they were raised by grandparents.

At 71 myself, let me join the chorus and add this.

Most people hit their intellectual peaks 3-4 years ago before 5G came along. It slows fluid movement in our brains. So does 3G, 4G and WiFi.

I'm 71, yet my intellectual peak keeps improving because I've made sure I'm being exposed to massive amounts of negative (oxygen) ions and fractal frequencies 24 hours a day by rotating orgonite. Rotation is the key.

Good for you, brother.


Whatever works.

When we were kids they told us that brain cells do not replenish when some of them die - a lie. Neurogenesis keeps happening and can be increased with different nutrients (specifically types of fungus).

When we were young they told us that the brain stops developing at 25 and after that it's much harder to learn new things - total BS. I've learned more skills after the age of 25 than I ever did before that. not to mention completely changed my thinking and replaced old habits.

Now you tell us that our brains will peak at 34 and begin to decline, which like the previous two will do nothing but demotivate people: Why compete and try to better yourself when you're in decline no matter what?

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
- Mahatma Gandhi



Stay gold!

Thanks, Builder. I sincerely hope more and more folks try this because the results can be extraordinary in so many different ways.

Chess is way less intellectual than everyone seems to imply. Fischer himself was disgusted by the game, he despised how it became little more than just memorization when one reaches the apex, being dissatisfied from the rather lack of actual strategy once the game became fully fleshed out in modern times with next to no innovation.

However, that still does not take away from Korchnoi's accomplishment's and gift of memory. For what he was able to do into old age is amazing. Yet one might argue that he kept getting better as he got older since the game was basically being fleshed out in real time at exponential rates at that very moment in history. Chess at that moment was the biggest game, almost how online poker went from a highly inefficient game to having near perfect play when perfect game theory is mixed with the stats of a player's historical hand history. It boils down to just a mixture of if-then statements for those whom remember the best, rather than actual strategy and innovation that goes on between the individuals prior to it reaching perfect play.

Korchnoi having a breathtaking memory yes, being a true genius, perhaps.

Navigating the internet faster is a matter of practice, not intelligence. Cope right back at you. I was IT guy in my 20s and 30s; 40-50 was an operational manager role for robotics integrator with a splash of IT. Now I'm picking up engineering in a project management role for same. Everything I've learned compounds and provides positive results for problem solving that I never had at 30. I cannot afford to be slow or forget things, so I don't.

ON POINT!

Bullshit, you reach your intellectual peak when you think you know everything and trust me most 34 year olds haven't figured anything out yet.
