I have told many people about the benefits of dual n back and single n
back on cognitivefun.net. i'm trying to help people who desperately
need the intelligence boost. Why is it that people don't understand
what boosting their intelligence can do for their lives? Do people
need a certain amount of smarts already to be able to identify how
important intelligence is? It seems most people who aren't very smart
just except their lot in life. I can't relate to them at all. I plan
on always increasing my intelligence even after i become a genius.
Maybe i have more drive than most. I used to struggle with disabling
mind numbing depression. Maybe you have to have your mind stripped
away from you in order to understand how important intelligence is.

I've told people about it to. Nobody has shown even a little interest.
I have no explanation.

For several reasons:
Most people who don't look for advice in the first place will not like
advice given to them
The strive for training your brain is correlated with higher IQ
People are lazy
training your brain is boring for most people

I'm not sure why so many find the game boring. I look forward to it,
but I'd say that about anything that tracks your progress and shows
you how close you are to your goals.

Have you not heard of that geek whose glasses flickered in the dark
afterhours, ran to the streets, and cried incessantly: "I am looking
for Intelligence! I am looking for Intelligence!"
As many of those who did not believe in Intelligence were standing
together there, he aroused much laughter. "Have you gone stupid,
then?" said one. "Did he lose his brains like a savant?" said another.
"Or is he a hipster? Is he trolling us? Has he need of anti-psychotic
medication?" Thus they shouted and laughed. The geek lept upon them
and his externalized lenses flashed into their eyes.
"Where has it gone?" he cried. "I shall tell you. We have stupidified
everything - you and I. We are its end. But how have we done this? How
were we able to swallow up all that is refuse and inanity? What
provided the sponge to soak up all misinformation which streams around
us? What did we do when we became merely a connectome free from
everything around it? Whither will it take us now? Where do we expect
to be? Away from all intellection? Are we not always thinking the non-
thought? Ana, kata, sideways, in all misdirections? Is there any right
or left up? Are we not sitting here only to pass the time? Don't
things seem dull and incredibly opaque? Has it not become dumber? Is
it not more and more non-intelligence arriving all the time? Must not
the glasses refract to guide the mindless photon? Do we not hear
anything yet of the antinoise of the pundits who are stultifying the
aims of Intelligence? Do we not yet hear anything yet of
Intelligence's devolution? Intelligence, too, becomes obtuse.
Intelligence is no more. Intelligence remains no more. And we have
ended it. How shall we, idiots of all idiots, make ourselves
cheerfully ironic? That which was the most whole and general of all
that the world has yet possessed has faded into a wimper under our
derisive indifference. Who will save us from our own imbecility? What
parties of self-described superiority, what puzzles shall we need to
invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we
not ourselves become geniuses simply to be worthy of it? There has
never been a greater deed; and whosoever shall be born after us - for
the sake of this deed he shall be part of a higher history than all
history hitherto."
Here the geek fell silent and again regarded his listeners; and they
too were silent and stared at him nonchalantly. At last he threw his
glasses to the ground, and they broke and went out. "I have come too
early," he said then; "my appointed time is much later. The momentous
event is still to arrive, still making its way - it has not yet
reached the ears of homo sapiens sapiens. Supernovae and neutrinos
require time, the grip of space-time requires still more, causation
requires time even after it has been committed, before it can be
observed and named. This act is still more distant from them than the
Sloan Great Wall - and yet they have done it to themselves."
It has been further related that on that same day the geek entered
divers universities and there sang a tune from his favorite TV show.
Led out and quietened, he is said to have retorted each time: "what
are these universities now if they are not the tombs and sepulchres of
Intelligence?"

argumzio,
unfortunately, what u have written applies to me.
i can not improve my iq, but i would like to improve my understanding
(for instance, the ability to fully understand and appreciate what u
have written)
i lack the understanding to know how to efficiently begin the process.
:(
i can not choose my iq, but i would be very interested in improving
what i can.
lost.

Most people know that McDonald's is bad but still eat it. Most people know that all the information they need to make an informed decision about evolution is available everywhere but still insist its "liberal garbage" with no facts of their own to disprove it. Willful ignorance is pretty common.
On the other hand, intelligence isn't everything. The smartest guy doesn't always make the most money or bang the most chicks. You don't need to be the smartest guy in the room, but you do need to be *smart enough*

And here I thought most people actually did know about one of the more
*popular* philosophers of our time, making my choice the most relevant
for the point. Besides, it made me laugh. A lot.

I haven't read much of Nietzsche, however Voltaire has generally left something to drink to after reading his work.
I don't want to cloud the waters with a long post so...
Two quotes that both ignite the flame that is my smile.
Voltaire: "He was a great patriot, a humanitarian, a loyal friend; provided, of course, he really is dead."
Voltaire: "The self-love is the instrument of our preservation; it resembles the provision for the perpetuity of mankind: it is necessary, it is dear to us, it gives us pleasure, and we must conceal it."
Signed,
The pen Voltaire wish he had (???).

I agree! Intelligence is an important thing and I also want to be more intelligent.
