  1. Diet, exercise, friends and meaningful work. Do you have these things sorted? if not, it's hard for life to not be a nightmare.
  2. When you're in the business of transcending the ego, self-deception becomes even more sinister.
  3. ? I only pay for 3 other things: YouTube premium, gym membership and IAI.tv membership.
  4. Imagine being a wave that recognizes it's the entire ocean. Even if that is true, what will the wave do with the ocean? Not much. In reality, the ocean will just keep being the ocean, and the wave will keep being the wave. It's the same when you recognize that you are God.
  5. Yup. It seems like when you subvocalize, you're filling up the "working space" with more stuff, which decreases the capacity. You're probably just supposed to use what you referred to as pattern recognition and intuition and nothing else. I did a few sets of Dual 3 Back today and I got up to 64% success rate. I actually feel noticably different after I do it. It's a bit like meditation, but it's more a sharpening of focus than a broadening of awareness.
  6. I did 12 sets today on Dual 2 Back and hit 100% for the first time. I didn't realize before the 8th set that I had to match both position and sound if they occurred simultaneously lol (I used to only choose position). EDIT: Once you hit 100%, you'll keep hitting it pretty often, so it's probably better to move on to the higher ones. I learned that it's better to be completely silent than to intentionally rehearse the information verbally/internally (not sure if this applies for higher Ns).
  7. In your writing, do you ever feel like you value authentic expression and flow over clarity of meaning and conciseness?
  8. Lol, I don't know about that. Unless I genuinely start feeling like my brain power is exploding, it's not something I'll spend much time thinking about.
  9. I'm personally going to play it every day. It's kinda fun too.
  10. You could argue it's even more drastic, as he went from being 1/50 to 1/10000. He went from being very high IQ to genius level. The type of work that becomes available to you in that jump is more valuable than going from say a janitor at 87 IQ to say an office worker at 100 IQ.
  11. A 13 point IQ difference is huge. 100 is normal, 87 is too low for working virtually any job, and at 83, you can't even join the military.
  12. The guy with the 13 point increase practiced Dual 4 Back for 400 hours.
  13. Your working memory is less like a storage space and more like a working space.
  14. I tried it a few times. The best I've got is 67% correct on Dual 2 Back, and I'm very sleep deprived ?
  15. I'll try it out to see if it improves my thinking.
  16. When the person you're "debating" doesn't know how hypotheticals work, that is when you exit the conversation.
