Topic: Intelligence (Read 301 times)

If the solution is not from medical aspect, I will advise you to try to move with intelligent people or mentor like 3 or 4 years and you will begin to develop some things that will  make people to see you as intelligent guy in your environment and it will improve so many things in your life.

If you are into some drugs, you need to stop them because no matter what you do in a living, it will not make you intelligent and you will always be doing some things that will make others people to see you like someone who don't have future.

All the listed facts here speak more in my heart but what I need add up is that you need go through whatever you want to internalized over time and try as much as possible to see how you use similar imagine around you to remember once it come to deal with image or photo. Remove the feeling that you have such challenges to avoid occurance or depression just believe you can do better and follow all the ideas laid here you can do better.

You can work on remembering a few paragraphs at a time. That renders it less difficult to retain and comprehend the subject matter. Meditating on mindfulness is a practice in which you focus your concentration on the current moment while being conscious of your emotions and ideas without criticism. There are a few proof that this can help with focus as well as working memory, which is the capacity to store and process knowledge within your mind. It may also help lower stress and nervousness, which may interfere with memory and concentration. Finally, mindfulness meditation has been proved to boost focus and working memory, but you can also download applications or additional techniques that would enhance your intellectual ability, which is frequently done through the use of memorization.

First, I sympathize with you regarding your condition, but I do believe neurologists specialized in that field would have been in better position to deliver to you workable advise on how or what to do to be able to hold on to a greater mass of memory as you said. If I am to advise you, I would say you don't worked up yourself about that much let it not affect your psychology rather concentrate on getting informations one at a time as they build in your mind it sticks forever instead of wanting to have them all at a go when your condition doesn't approve.

Each person's capacity is different.  Someone's IQ is very sharp from a young age.  Someone's IQ has a little dump from childhood. In this case, you can seek help from a good doctor.  No one can help you much except experts.  You should see a good doctor. Although I doubt if there is a solution to this problem.  Still you can try. Now the medical system is very advanced. Maybe you can get a cure for it. But I think you should accept yourself as you are without being so disappointed.

Spreading your ignorant pseudoscience is both dangerous and stupid.

This is also total nonsense.

So, op first of all, don't listen to any of these people. Do you have an actual diagnosis of ADHD? Have you discussed about any of this with your doctor, and i mean the doctor that gave you that diagnosis? Knowledge about ADHD among medical workers vary, and you want to consult actual professionals.

I can speak only from my own behalf that you are not alone. People have different levels of symptoms in ADHD, but most of them struggle with same issues.

But like you said, it's not the intelligence you are struggling with. it's the memory, lack of focus, and other adhd symptoms that make it nearly impossible to learn anything that you are not totally into. If you have diagnosed ADHD, you can take medication like concerta for focusing. It's not a miracle drug, but it might feel like one when all the distractions shut out for a moment and you can relax and focus on nearly anything.

I have adhd, and not bragging but i also have genious level IQ according to mensa, and even with that, it was enough only to keep me on the surface my whole life so i am not drowning. But that's about it. I might have some bursts of creativity that make me accomplish things, but mainly i have struggled with life.

Like ADHD makes listening or reading basic instructions nearly impossible, and with several comorbidities it came with, my life has been practically crippled, and without medication that i got moment ago, i wouldn't be studying, as to me, it was impossible without it.

Also have you tried peer support groups? Facebook has pretty good moderated groups where you can find more information, and if i had to point one as a resource, it's Dr Russell Barkley. And his excellent lectures that are free in youtube. They are pretty easy to follow, as you most likely will be interested about the subject, so you might stay focused.

Good advise boss, most times the parents are the major problem to this effect, when the notice a small stuff that can be solved ordinarily, they will always want to attribute it to medical stuff which is bad, once anyone is taken to the hospital, such person must be diagnosed some illment this is normal in the medical settings that's why in most underdeveloped countries some people don't like going to the hospital when slight stuffs occur, though am not saying that it good but medical personnel should help matters.
How will someone make us to believe that Gods creature is not intelligent that's madness to the extent of administering drugs to boast such individual brain and in reverse causing much damages on the person.

Yes. Making sure dangerous biological laboratories (do right) worldwide is a lot of hard work. And you are clearly completely unsupportive, so I have decided that it is not worth any more effort for me to prevent the next pandemic. After all, any effort I make to prevent the next pandemic will earn me a very bad reputation (because most humans are dip@#$%s), so I am better off not doing anything to earn that reputation. Yes. I value my reputation more than I value the health of the people on Earth. I also value teaching. I want the next pandemic to be a powerful lesson to humanity. People need to learn to stop @#$%ing around and being so #@$%ing stupid and evil, and another pandemic will be a good way of informing people of how @#$%ed up they really are and how badly they need to change. Well, they will probably not learn a damn thing in the next pandemic either, but the only thing that counts is that the next pandemic will give people an opportunity to learn a hard lesson.

Interacting with chlurmcks like you on this site just convinces me that you need the opportunity to learn a hard lesson much more than you need your health.

Everybody knows that if somebody has enough time to cry about his self-induced woes on Bitcointalk, he doesn't have time to prevent any next pandemic.

Dude. You do not understand what I am trying to do because you have absolutely no intelligence whatsoever just like nearly all Bitcoiners. Please do yourself a favor, and go milk a bucket of tears from your sister.

-Joseph Van Name Ph.D.

P.S. Bitcoin is still not doing what is necessary to prevent the next pandemic. Only I am. Well, at least I was. But since everyone around me acts like hateful irredeemable reprobates, I have lost all interest in preventing the next pandemic. And in the next pandemic, the vaccine will be in the @$$.

Even AI isn't smart enough to understand your mumbo-jumbo. But Bitcoiners are smart enough to recognize that giving you their money without understanding what you are about, would be simply foolish. Personally, I think that if they DID understand you and your mumbo-jumbo, they absolutely wouldn't give you any money. But since I don't understand your mumbo-jumbo, I can't be certain of any of this... except that you do have a good share of mumbo-jumbo, of course.

In case you have not noticed, but I tend to speak using grammatically correct language., and I am very careful with what I have to say. I said "Bitcoiners . . . have" which is the present tense. In the past, Bitcoiners on average were much smarter. But right now, Bitcoiners are not very intelligent. If I did not respect Bitcoin, I would not be on this site. I do respect Bitcoin since it is an important innovation, but Bitcoin still does not have a mining algorithm that is designed to advance science, so the average Bitcoiner has been getting dumber and dumber since 2009. Right now, nearly all Bitcoiners cannot understand what I am attempting to communicate when I say that Bitcoin does not even have a mining algorithm that is designed to advance science. Since I am so much smarter than the people on this site, the people on this site need to pay me a lot of money so that I can make decisions for them because they have been making a lot of horrible decisions. I could have prevented the Covid-19 pandemic if people trusted me with this, and I can prevent the next pandemic, but you have to trust that I am much more intelligent than you in order for this to work.

Right! What fool would waste time on buying some stupid thing like Bitcoin when it was a nickle apiece?

Generally intelligence increases under stress, especially if it is great stress.

Medical research is finding that the brain grows new pathways, neurons, and synapses, especially under stress. So, stress yourself by making outlandish goals for yourself, and then forcing yourself to accomplish them.

We can acquire some certain level of intelligence through studies, when we are committed to being disciplined in every areas of our being taught, being intelligent is the rightly application of wisdom, this may be to make use of such ability in settlement of dispute, problem and make others feel the impact of your presence, when we do the right thing, we don't need someone in telling us how intelligent we are before knowing.

OP, we are all intelligent in our unique way, you have to have that at the back of your memory. And don't let the thought of not being intelligent hit hard on you of thinking less of yourself always.

All I want you to know is that your success in life is how hard-working you are. Having said that, I want you to work on yourself to be hardworking and develop yourself to be self-employed by learning a skill or starting up a business. Once you've established yourself and attained that goal, you'll be able to employ intelligent people to work for you if you so choose.

We have so many unintelligent people in the world and they are doing fine in their different work lives and they have intelligent people working for them or have given birth to intelligent people(those that are married with kids)

There is nothing one can do about it than to try and live with it, and don't allow this discourage you but just believe that you are like every normal human so that you can bring out the best in you.

See a professional on this field and seek advice from them but don't believe that any drugs can cure it because you were born with it. People around you can also assist you to bring out the best in you by putting you through on your weaknesses. You can always read with someone to help your out. You need a partner to help you grow.

I think that you're the OP that started that thread about neural implant, I guess the thread is in this board too, seeing that you're quite interested in neural implant, I think that you should research it extensively and know how safe it is, whether it'll be advisable for your condition. Remember that this is basically a Bitcoin discussion forum where you can get the best cryptocurrency professional advice, other issues like medicals you might get a layman's point of view, so it's best to either join a medical platform for professional advice on your memory condition or look for sites that deals with your condition like the one that is shared on this thread. All the best of luck as you search for solutions.

The problem is, with an implant you'll have something like a solid state drive in your head that will store memories for you. If that drive fails and electronics stop working all the time, you'll lose your memories. It's very likely the brain will rely on that chip, which will weaken other cognitive functions. When the chip stops working you'll become crippled more than you were before you got the implant.

I also had problems with focusing. I was happy with the results of my IQ tests, but I needed complete silence and no distractions to be able to learn. My mind always wandered from topic to topic and I always had good imagination. I excelled in topics where you had to design something, write a story and the more you had to know by heart, the more difficult it was.
I guess you have to go through life the way you are, OP. Find things that you're good at and avoid hard learning. Maybe you're simply good at making things, without learning how they're made.
We can't all be good mathematicians and lawyers. Some of us are artists, performers, builders...

ADHD, is a genetical disorder if I am not wrong and there is no cure for it and all we can do is manage the symptoms so over time you will adapt to it and how to live with it. It is something that should be treated as early as possible to managing the symptoms is easier but for an adult, it needs many therapy sessions along with some medical aids to manage the symptoms.
