How to reach top 1% intelligence?

[koops]

I watched this Dan Koe video.

https://thedankoe.com/letters/how-to-join-the-top-1-of-intelligence-full-guide/

He starts with his quote: 

The only real test of intelligence is if you get what you want out of life. – Naval Ravikant

He mainly talks about 2 concepts:

-Cybernetics (the book Psycho-cybernetics)

-Ego development (Spiral dynamics and 9 levels of Ego D.)

-Holism

Others could be: open-mindedness, become a deep generalist (learning the fundamentals about a wide variety of topics), reasoning from first principles etc... 

 

> From you POV?

Aside for these resources, which ones do you recommend for developing your intelligence (aside from contemplation, introspection...)?

 

Please, no rants.

Just resources (books, speeches, courses, mentors...), o techniques/practices.

 

Thanks!

It's all bullshit. You have not increased your intelligence at all.

[OmniNaut]

This is purely a Orange/Achiever mind set. Nothing more. Dan Koe has no business talking about anything higher, because he has not achieved it for himself. His view of the higher stages are tainted and warped.

The bottom line is, when you transcend Orange/Achiever, you transcend the need to be in the top 1%.

Use his knowledge only for the level he's in. Use other sources to get to the Green/Plural stage.

This is a good start

Nah, I dont want to be 1% really

Was a way to get more engagement here.

Dan Koe is way more evolved tan 99% of this forum.

Is higher than Orange.

Orange is Dan Bilzerian, Cardone, P B David..

His title is ckickbaity.

 

.

 

Yes, this last 2 years was studying and implementing green and yellow.

Thanks for the resoruce.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying he is a crock or no business in doing what he is doing. Orange/Achiever is a valuable stage, use his knowledge as you see fit.

But don't mistake his website is something above that. 

Scanning through his website, and the link, and the video in the link. I see nothing that indicates, he is above what he is teaching.
If you talk about intelligence only as IQ, clear indicator you're orange/achiever. 

But I will respect your request to keep the rants out. 

I will refrain myself from this topic from now on, so people can share the information you're asking for.

Good luck

Those paradigms are so... human that makes it not the ultimate intelligence.

True intelligence goes beyond paradgims of human cognition

This topic is not about ultimate intelligence. Don't go talking about stuff that is 3 stages beyond this topic. This is a good next step going from IQ as the main yard stick to understanding that there is more than only IQ. Later it can be transcended/unlearned if the person is ready for it.

I was about to say that

The way to reach the 1% is through hardcore sadhanas, contemplation(insights) and usage of psychedelic plant medicines, all while operating on first principles.

 

There is no shortcut to increasing consciousness.

One way to be intelligent at something is to be completely obsessed with it. Like crazy obsessed. That’s what I think is key. The greatest people were probably crazy obsessed with their craft

Eat books . Literally become a reading  psycho. Get obsessed with reading . Read philosophy first and foremost . The highest quality.

Reincarnate in me.

[Jacob Morres]

These are more structure related and not the techniques itself but,

One point could be to continously challenging yourself to become more intelligent. Pushing your ideas, theories, letting go of pet theories for better ones, never getting complacent 

Also to surround yourself with people that are very intelligent. I think learning from others happens passively when surrounded by other smart people

I see intelligence as separate from wisdom and knowledge, and for the most part, I don’t believe intelligence can increase significantly.

Interestingly, the top 1% of thinkers or achievers aren’t necessarily the most intelligent. Many individuals with the raw capability for extreme intelligence fail to develop effective and efficient mental models. Without these, even extraordinary intelligence won’t enable them to think or operate at the highest level.

What’s more important—and often mistaken for intelligence—is clarity. Clarity comes from acquiring knowledge and structuring your mind, beliefs, and understanding in a way that allows you to see truths that might take others years to grasp. For you, those truths are obvious, almost intuitive. That’s clarity, and it’s far more valuable than sheer intelligence.

Take, for example, the great physicists who’ve made groundbreaking discoveries. Their success likely stemmed from having better mental models and belief systems, especially around numbers and the mechanics of the universe, rather than from pure intelligence alone. It’s entirely possible that someone more intelligent than Newton exists today—maybe even someone in physics—but they might achieve nothing remarkable due to an inefficient mental structure.

So if it's truly important and meaningful to you to be in the Top 1%, that's how you'd do it.

[Sandhu]

Do conscious focused thinking, you will feel becoming more intelligent and effective in an instant. Almost everyone do unconscious thinking. It's difficult but if you can master it. This can be game changer.
