Yes, IQ is Trainable

 I found the test. My wordsum is only 140, 150 high. It's not like 180+ high. My vocabulary, while hardly small, is disappointing to me.

 Thus, yes, I am the first person to write down the effective IQ-raising regimen. I'm sure I'm far from the first to discover it, but I'm the first person to post it in public. Training works, provided you train properly. Yes, all knowledge is domain knowledge, but you can train in the domain of domains, thus get knowledge applicable to all domains. And practice makes you faster.

 It would truly be an earth-shattering development...if anyone wanted to be smarter. It's not a small change either. Handily passes the guillotine criterion, no need for a high powered statistical study to detect the effect. No [number needed to treat], or rather, NNT is one. I punch three, maybe four standard deviations above my weight class. 

 I'm not merely good at warfare strategically. Given time to train, my army would have a 30, 40 point IQ advantage. It would be like fighting divine messengers. Imagine everyone at spacex, but 45 points smarter. Space: suddenly too cheap to meter.

 Instead, they are religious fanatics, and they worship stupidity. This is nothing but the worst heresy. 

 The only reason I can scoop this patent is because nobody else wanted it. Across thousands of years I have no competitors.

 I could even train my vocabulary, but haven't. I would have to take time away from training upkeep on something important. Enough other parts of my cognition are no longer disappointing.


 I'm shocked that science is a thing. Worshipping stupidity is not new. What happened? How did they get around it?
 My first hypothesis is that they believed Science opposes Religion, and gathering profanity opposing Holy Truth was the point. They eventually realized that christianity is profane, as opposed to science, and were horrified by what they had done. Now they repent ferociously.
 My second hypothesis is that some god coerced advancement through divine force of will, but inevitably became exhausted. Even gods can't afford to overturn the natural order.

 Meanwhile everyone still christian is christian precisely because they know it is profane. They believe this particular lie offers the best camouflage. That other lies are too easy to see through. 




 Partly I developed the IQ training because (almost uniquely) I want to be smarter. Mainly it was to prove that nobody else wants to be smarter. Anyone who claims to want to raise the waterline is lying. Advancing the sum total of human knowledge is not a real drive. To the contrary, more ignorance more better. Sometimes they feel forced to advance military technology to not die, either by their Darwinian reflexes or because you can't spread lies, treachery, and desecration if you're dead.

 

 It post is my third most popular post. This means not quite 3000 hits. That caps how popular becoming more virtuous can be. Here's your upper bound. Also, among those 3000, only the author has carried out the protocol. There are some who have perhaps carried out the protocol (hans herman hoppe), but they invented it themselves before I wrote my post. So there's that. 

 Imagine a demon who offers you power. Now instead imagine a demon who offers to unleash your own power rather than letting you borrow theirs. Imagine they make the offer in a way that lets you do it for free. No payment.
 And homo sapiens is all like, "Nah, I'm good." 

 These days, I have tremendous respect for anyone who sells their soul for power. The rest are split into those who sell their soul for a peso and some pocket lint, and those who sell their soul specifically so they can sell their power also. 

 "So, Mr. Devil, selling you my soul will not only render me unable to use the fantastic powers you allegedly offer, but also shut down the powers I was born with? Sweet! Where do I sign!?!?"   <== that is the normal, expected baseline.

 

 

 The other thing is that, although there are other brights, none of them are bright enough to understand the value of forming a pack. Seem to be stuck as loners. Training could fix this, but if they were still willing to train, they would have already done it.

Because Life(tm) is an Individual Thing.
