A bit more speed would be nice though, a lot of it is how quickly the connections are made. I dont feel I'm thinking any more quickly at 32 than I was at 18 or so.

"Intellect" is not based on innate ability, because there's no such limiting thing.

The human brain is constantly rebuilding itself, and when it does, it makes new connections, deletes some, adds neurons, deletes neurons.

Be unhealthy, take mind-affecting drugs, alcohol, then your intelligence may drop.

Take college courses, exercise your brain, then your intelligence may improve.

Also, intelligence is simply decision making. Whether one's brain makes the subjective, "superior" decisions that the majority of people feel denotes intelligence.


I don't believe you've made any new points worth refuting, you're just continuing to attempt to redefine the terms to better suit your position. Unfortunately I'm not baffled by BS, but if you fail to raise any worthwhile point there's nothing to reply to. I guess since you know more than any expert in any field on any topic you've ever discussed here that I should just accept your opinion as fact no matter how incoherently you express it.

You haven't resolved how neuroscience tells us that the human brain rebuilds itself throughout life, with your premise that people have a limiting fixed innate intelligence.

You appear to be arguing, that the brain cannot rebuild itself to increase intelligence.

Yet, we see this among ASD people, e.g., Synesthesia.


The brain is plastic, but that doesn't mean that an average Joe will become an Einstein.


Thank you.

I know this thread wasn't aimed at me and has nothing to do with me. I just wanted to give my opinion. My two closest friends are very intelligent. They are both girls.
