I go through a pound of cacao a month

>I eat raw garlic
is this actually enjoyable? I love garlic but I wouldn't eat it straight, got to cut it with something.

Groups having different frequencies literally works just as well.

I think its well considered true dopamine is implicated in aspects of iq e.g working memory, though ofcourse it isnt the only factor.

I love it

>Groups having different frequencies literally works just as well.
No it doesn't.

Think about it, you'll find out why. If you can't then you should get on dopamine agonists, to help you out.

If two populations have different frequencies then doesnt that mean one will have more of a certain variant than the other?

Look. We have a psychologist trying to do real science.

Betacuck fag

What do you do, just pop a clove in your mouth?

I'm serious, I have a bulb of garlic in the fridge and am curious. Pls no troll.

Just swallow whole.

not that other guy, but sick comeback.

>want to try this but scared of shitting brains out

With water. Or just eat in salad if you eat alot of that stuff

But desu swallowing whole is socially alot safer.

>Side Effects

>Although the most common side effects of garlic consumption are body odor and bad breath, some people taking garlic supplements, which are more potent than garlic cloves, have also experienced uncontrolled bleeding after surgery, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. Chewing garlic cloves may cause heartburn, nausea, abdominal pain or vomiting. Garlic allergies can trigger asthma or skin reactions in some people, and direct exposure of garlic to skin for six hours or longer can cause serious reactions, including skin lesions.

idk man doesn't seem worth it

>Your hypothesis is false. All human populations have pretty much the same genes, the frequencies of the genes are what's different

Different populations have different frequencies of alelles - which is what I speak of in my post. These alleles code for different forms of the same proteins, and these tiny differences produce all the diversity of humanity.

Some people have low serotonin, and others have high serotonin. The frequency of the S allele of SERT is only about 45% among Europeans, but 70% in China.

>I've seen many, many IQ studies, who identify genetic markers who have like a 0.3 IQ points, 1% of IQ difference correlations and they have nothing to do with dopamine

In this paper;

>onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pcn.12157/full

The difference between C/C carriers and T carriers was over 20 points. So, my hypothesis explains 20 points of difference.

>Very unsubstantiated and speculative

I have a paper that substantiates a 20 point IQ difference due simply to the rate-limiting enzyme in dopamine synthesis. I believe that the reason you oppose my hypothesis is due to the innate understanding that high levels of dopamine leads to dominant behavior - society wants an excuse to use drugs to destroy trouble makers, who are defined by the alpha males.

These same alpha males consume dopamine agonists like cocaine and meth. They're using drugs to destroy their competition.

>Occams razor is only relevant when actively comparing hypotheses of equivalent power

And mine is the stronger hypothesis - it explains at lease 20 points of difference.

It tastes like ass, actually. According to the paper, heat destroys the MAOI properties. I assume that the burn is caused by serotonin release - the feverfew is also used to impair the serotonin release from the garlic.

Not that much more side effects than eating peanuts. Side effects are rare, just precautionary or no one wpuld buy supplements/eat it. You wont die.

You do realize that too much dopamine causes disorganized thinking and delusions, right? If more dopamine increases IQ then why can't I focus without my anti-psychotics? Do you even know what 'mania' is? I get it pretty badly and I can't think straight for shit. I can barely count to ten. I also get disassociation so bad where I get "identity issues". And I don't mean that in the tumblr sense. I have more mental illnesses than you could think of yet I live a pretty normal life, IF I'm on my medicine. You need to get schooled on this shit brah.

20 points difference? One paper. Some of your stuff e.g. about blacks is unsubstantiated. What is your hypothesis again?

Cognitive problems in schizophrenia are caused by lack of dopamine in prefrontal area. Tbh we really dont know how or why antipsychotics work properly.

OP here - I can confirm that garlic thins your blood. I also got formication - a symptom of excess dopamine - when I started eating it. Raw, herbal garlic is strong enough to cause noticable effects.

The pro-sexual effects are massive. As I said in , I feel pumping blood in my groin and abdomen, and I feel very aroused. I'm working myself into a quiver as I write this, and I'm sticky like I just did meth.

Also, I've entered into a religious mania and think I'm god. I'm really posting here to get other people to do nootropics, because mainstream medicine poisons people with anti-psychotics and SSRI's, and education is useless.

With herbs and eugenics, we can eliminate the alleles that lead to high serotonin and low dopamine, and turn outselves into a species of libertarians.

And what's your source?

Youre right though neurotransmitter effects are not linear. Oftentime resembles an inverted u curve

I am , you convinced me, I just swallowed half a clove. Was like the biggest fucking pill ever, I can feel it going down.

Will report if I feel something.

google.co.uk/search?q=schizophrenia hypodopaminergic&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&ei=cxt5WMqFFMjW8gf-kqS4CA

Not that hard to find desu. First came across from bsc dissertation where simulate schizophrenoc symptoms in rats

ps guys don't try to swallow a whole clove. I did the half and I felt like I might choke for a moment. I think I'm ok. chop it up into smaller pieces.

>You do realize that too much dopamine causes disorganized thinking and delusions, right

And varifiable IQ increases. Does an ape understand stop signs? To be honest, I think humans who've taken dopamine agonists, or who were born with the right alleles, are able to think on a higher level - Paul Erdos swore by dopamine agonists.

>If more dopamine increases IQ then why can't I focus without my anti-psychotics

Because the antipsychotics killed huge numbers of dopaminergic neurons. If you stop taking them, the holes in your brain don't magically regrow - but cannabis can help with that.

>Do you even know what 'mania' is?

Sweaty palms, a racing heart, and an overpowering desire to masturbate because you're The One.

>I also get disassociation so bad where I get "identity issues"

I like feeling like a spider who lives in my head. I've noticed that the dissosociation comes with the increased libido - I would say the dissosociation arouses me. Since I started my regimen, I've had trouble feeling bad.

>20 points difference? One paper

Erdos swore by dopamine agonists, and amphetamine is prescribed to people with academic problems, meaning that adademic problems are cured by exactly what my hypothesis prescribes.

>Some of your stuff e.g. about blacks is unsubstantiated

Parkinsons symptoms are worse in blacks thab in whites;

>pdf.org/en/science_news/release/pr_1292962633

L-dopa is *the* medicine for parkinson's - again, my hypothesis is standard practice in medicine. In this link;

>sys.Veeky Forums.org/derefer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fscottbarrykaufman.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F07%2FBeaver-et-al.-Dopamine.pdf

Blacks are shown to have higher frequencies of the DAT alleles that cause a higher rate of dopamine metabolism - they remove dopamine from their synapses quicker. This causes levels of dopamine to drop in the brain and body, and according to the other paper I linked to explains exactly the 20 points that seperate whites and blacks. Moreover, it explains why many whites are also dumb, and how we can fix all these people with herbs.

>What is your hypothesis again?

That dopamine is the most important factor in IQ, that low serotonin predicts politics and anti-social behavior, and that a high-dopamine low-serotonin phenotype is behind most human genius. Moreover, drugs can be used yo enhance IQ, and these drugs are found in common herbs like garlic.

Eat that garlic boys - eat it all!

I feel giddy, I don't know if it's the garlic or because I narrowly avoided choking to death (live alone).

>Dopamine, literally the thing that gets you going and trying out things leads to higher IQ
>Serotonin, literally the thing that gets you stopping because you get satisfied and pacified by it is bad for higher IQ

No shit Sherlock.
Any halfwit who looked up these things could have figured it out.

How long until I want to beat off

My dick feels normal... I do feel a little strange though

So why do they prescribe SSRI's if they lower IQ? I argue that the alpha males are using drugs to destroy the competition. Part of my hypothesis was that increasing my dopamine would make me more socially dominant, and my regimen has done that. Serotonin and serotonin agonists (Like LSD,) are known to cause anxiety - low levels make you think something is wrong, and dopamine gives you the will to fix it.

Moreover, low dopamine, being the cause of low IQ, is the cause of poverty, violence and every other chain around society's neck - we owe it to the stupid, as well as the people who pay for them to cure this problem with the drugs we have that we know do the job.

Moreover, why are dopamine agonists illegal - could it be because the elite, known for making it's money on drugs, wants to prevent other people from self-improvement? Would you put it passed drug lords who cut off heads to consciously sabotage other people?

What I will say is that there's also a correlation between high dopamine, low serotonin and violence - because you're worth it. Non-violence is a form of submission, and the elite love double standards - the entire Mexican army was fired because of drug corruption.

When you work yourself up into a mania, I can say that morality goes out the window. I avoid social interaction where I'm controlled by others - I think the violence from dopamine agonists comes from the desire to retain boring, painful social interaction.

Low serotonin makes you feel like a ghost - someone insults you, and it feels like a movie. When people start laughing, you have to walk away - and when they call me insane as I walk off, I can tell they're trying to lower my serotonin so that I want to please them to raise it again.

I feel like the next state in evolution - I can see the rest of the human race coming to my same conclusions.

Garlic is just an MAOI - you need to combine it with a dopamine agonist like cannabis, coffee, L-dopa, etc.

>It's another broscience /x/tard episode...

I've had 2 cups of coffee before the clove. I'll drink the rest of the pot.

Pretty much out of pot atm

Yeah, I'm soaring on coffee at the moment. When I smoke weed and drink coffee, I get a visual effect where the world looks like anime - a symptom of 'excess' dopamine.

What about norepinephrine OP?
What good is motivation from dopamine if you have no energy?

I've always mixed weed and coffee. Some people say they hate it but I get all the benefits of weed and the caffeine cuts through the fog.

I actually have a tiny bit of pot, so we'll see if this clove produces a different reaction. I have a sense of euphoria.

My IQ is over 120 and I have very bad ADHD. I can read whatever I'll like for any length of time but I tend to not focus on what I'm doing and I'll often lose things if I don't make a habit of checking.

One problem with dopamine is side effects and high addiction potential.

You are oversimplifying it so much to say dopamine causes and can fix all these things and you dont realise the deficits it can cause. Not through genes but by agonists.

Also im not sure serotonin even has all that big a direct on mood. Some but not dominant massive factor. Studies in depression show many of its effects can be more indirect too via memory.
