Cognitive Improvement General, Brain Boost Thread

30 minutes of moderately intense jogging every day (hr of 140bpm) will do more for your cognitive, mental, and physical health than anything else.

you are fucking retarded for even considering that to be remotely possible to be true.

kratom is a shitty fucking pseudo opiate that will make you feel 'okayish' once or twice and then never again will it do anything except make you feel sick.

fucking eat the acid, what kind a question is that?

>fucking eat the acid, what kind a question is that?
What I'm asking is, what legal substances induce a useful high for a better understanding of mathematical concepts?

>Kratom
inhale the following:
sharpie
paint
get high as fug
you will
etc etc etc

>How do I LSD at home?
>There's no psychedelic stuff around here and I'm not buy anything online.

Unless you have some ergot laying around your house and you're a experienced chemist, you'll be hard pressed to make it yourself. Even if ergot was readily available, the synthesis of LSD-25 is quite an undertaking (I've been told making meth is child's play comparatively to this).
If you're looking for an acid dealer, try making friends with people in the music scene. A word of caution though; much of the "acid" sold on the street is 25I-nbome and not LSD-25, and you can overdose on 25I (where-as LSD you can't) so don't take more than 2 tabs if you don't know what you're messing with.

If you're looking for something similar to LSD-25 that's easier to identify, you could always go for shrooms (they're also easier to find in some cases). I find it very difficult to function on shrooms though, as it's a lot more "spiritual" persay, and you usually end up going off mental tangents that you're convinced is nothing sort of an epiphany.

I hear you on that..
I dealt with an opioid addiction and cannabis really helped detox and stay sober. It's not legal in Texas though!
But since treatment, my concentration and motivation is off!
Cannabis is nature's medicine, so hope u find something soon

Your brain will repair. Since you consumed regularly it might take a while.

>what legal substances induce a useful high for a better understanding of mathematical concepts?

Legal substances?
none that I know of. You can always turn yourself into a guinea pig for Chinese research chemicals.

I know that LSD primarily acts on the serotonin receptors, so you can always try some depression medications that target these receptors. I honestly think you'd be better off just looking for some LSD (the price of these meds are crazy, and they have a long list of side effects).

You can't compare drugs just because they use the same receptors. That would mean drugs like MDMA and LSD are the same, hint: they are not.

>There's a nonzero chance that when you stop smoking it
The word nonzero can be removed from every sentence (except this one) and still have the same meaning.

Every nonzero real has a real multiplicative inverse.

Was hoping this thread would have some actual content so I'll add my 2-cents

>exercise

Personally, I'd recommend not just jogging, but you make sure that you do an exercise that requires you to learn engrams (while increasing cardio)

This is mostly anecdotal evidence, but I feel like when you're doing a cardio while learning skill sets its simultaneously working the brain while giving fuel to it (and will get easier of time)

Some examples of these sports

Rock-climbing/swimming/skateboard/bmx/martial arts (most of them do this) parkour/calisthenics

While I can point to any studies, I can say from the perspective of body fluidity/intelligence transitioning from one sport to another is much easier than most of my peers, I personally believe it's due to doing a variety of different sports while critically thinking about my movement.

Just as a reference, I'd say I'm slightly above average intelligence, have a math undergrad degree, and play a number of instruments.

My issues mainly would be consistent motivation intellectually, I'm a jack-of-all-trades but I get easily distracted (though I pick up these things very fast)

TLDR; Do lots of different shit

I like you

lol I would be careful forcing yourself to do any meaningful activities while on LSD. you put yourself in the passenger seat of reality when you drop acid.

second this guy's recommendation to eat shrooms instead of LSD, unless you can find it.

ALSO I'd caution anybody in this thread who's thinking of taking psychedelics but doesn't have any experience with soft drugs like marijuana to BE FUCKING CAREFUL. Not only is it hard to gauge dosage (LSD is dosed in micrograms and the potency of shrooms changes depending on how dry it is not to mention identifying the correct species) but the exact same dosage in two different people can produce dramatically different effects. Remember that your experience is mostly dependent on set and setting, and it's good to have a sober person with you to keep you from getting into trouble. You're not gonna lose all bodily function if you take 1 hit of acid, but if you do start getting some anxiety it's good to have someone with a straight head to remind you of what's what.

maybe he is being sarcastic

i smoke weed and do all sorts of amazing stuff. its nothing short of miraculous.

In my opinion you have a head start b/c of your history as a musician.

Studying a discipline or skill as a child teaches you how to learn. There is no better way to "know thyself" than to begin understanding exactly how you learn at a young age. It could be music or martial arts or any sport or anything really.

You start as an absolute novice. You spend a long time being terrible at it. But you still practice, for whatever reason (pressure from parents, internal motivation, etc.). You slowly get better. So slowly you don't notice it happening.

But 5 years later you decide to pick up a different skill or discipline. This time is comes faster, b/c your brain remembers how to learn.

This is all in addition to the actual hand-eye coordination that is improved by learning something like sports or rhythmic ability through music (which seems to inform mathematical ability as well, kinda cool).

Anyway that was a long tangent. Back to talking about drugs.

bump

I've been in this game for a while kiddos

1. LSD is legit. Do yourself a favor and try it at least once. 200ug minimum, don't be a pussy.

2. At the end of the day, rest and recovery are the rate limiting factor in mental performance. You can pump yourself full of caffeine and stimulants all day, but if you aren't getting enough rest you won't be operating at peak performance. This is coming from a guy who has tried basically every nootropic out there. Modafinil works, but it is not sustainable.

3. If you feel tired or groggy all the time, you probably have a health issue you are unaware of. Sleep apnea and food allergies are probably the most common causes of this. Many people go their whole lives not realizing they've been operating at 50% capacity.

Please READ some trip reports and tips before doing psychedelics. If you don't respect them, you'll regret it. If you consider set & setting it can be your greatest experience!

I ended up pursuing science after doing dxm. I would recommend everyone have some sort of psychedelic experience some time in life to get to know your world and self better.

Sleep is super important to everything involving your mind and brain functioning.

Coffee is a great antioxidant and caffeine will improve your mental performance.

Learn to mindfully meditate.

Read up on CBT, it eliminated my anxiety and everyone should learn how to think or feel properly.

Thanks for the input man, never thought about it this way.

Yeah I've been playing music for most of my life now that you mention it, but I was also very very quick at learning before that (I began playing guitar at 11, was playing gigs at 15) also singing came pretty naturally to me as well.

My method of learning is kinda weird though...I'm a brute force kinda guy a lot of the time, I'll just do it until I get it right without much thinking about it, which doesn't take much time, this wasn't great for mathematics though, which I found I wasn't thinking as critically as some of my classmates.

I'd say some good advice is to master and understand your 'methodology' which is going to be very different to mine. Some of my friends prefer to take there time with things, thinking about each nuance slowly.

I also speak 3 different languages at basic conversational level, so there's also that I guess as well

TLDR;
-Learn musical instruments
-Learn different languages
-Try out a variety to different sports

Verdict on Noopept?

why has no one mentioned amphetamines or dopamine re-uptake inhibitors?

are they really that unmanageable?

no jokes Y E S
i have sleep apnea and i ginored that for many years, GET TESTED FOLKS

L-theanine
ginko biloba
5-htp (as a means to help develop good habits)
aclar
omega-3 in triglyceride form
1-3 dmaa
thats my stack, ive taken adrafinil, it worked to help me stay awake af.

To all those asking about drugs like LSD,
You can actually LEGALLY, yes,
>LEGALLY
Grow your own mushrooms at home fairly easily.

See, the loophole is that the chemical inside the shrooms themselves are not present in the spores, therefore you can purchase spore syringe kits off of shroom sites and they ship it to your house, and you can fucking just inject that shit into some of those 6th grade science plant kits and grow about 1-10 shroom servings.

Someone went to court about it and they couldn't acquit him for growing drugs because the spores were legal and didn't contain the chemical that was banned.

I really am considering doing it because of all the cool spiritual shit I've heard on /x/ regarding shroom experiences. It's supposed to be pretty safe to consume and not habit forming too. All that shit and you get an awakening like none other. Sign me up homie.

LSD microdosing sounds really interesting to me

but I can't risk the potential legal ramifications of working that into my supp routine

>believing /x/

>all these disgusting druggies ITT
Excellent work on relying on any external substance to get anything done. Truly the height of brainletdom.

Even if /x/ is off about most shit, the experience itself is significant, even if their explanation of it is bullshit.

just buy lsd form alphabay

>why has no one mentioned amphetamines or dopamine re-uptake inhibitors?

Probably because they don't Improve one's cognitive ability. I use adderall regularly (I have a script, but it's debatable whether I truly have ADD). The drug works great for studying for long periods at a time, but that's pretty much it. Adderall won't make you smarter, hitting the books will, and if you don't use adderall constructively you won't gain anything beneficial from it.

>are they really that unmanageable?
In my opinion no, but it really depends on the individual's tendency to abuse drugs. If you use the drug responsibly, and manage your health accordingly (making sure to eat, sleep, and the like), then it can be a useful tool. Adderall definitely has some addictive properties, and coupled with a fast tolerance build-up, a dependence on it can be developed rather easily.

the spores themselves are legal but using them (or even intending to use them) to grow shrooms is very illegal.

Also if you sell the spores with intent (e.g. if you sell spores together with instructions to grow shrooms) it's illegal and people have been convicted for it.

>Don't drink soda
>Do LSD

for fucks sake fucking retarded hippies

>IT'S A BRAINLETS TRY TO INCREASE THEIR COGNITIVE CAPACITIES THREAD

PHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Anyone here into nootropics? Would like to try something like adderall or modafinil but from a little bit of research it seems modafinil is basically useless. Any other drugs I should take into consideration? Any new and trendy ones?

>L-theanine - goes without saying.
>Take LSD once, specifically attempt to contemplate topology and n-dimensional simplex shapes (easy for 1-3 dimensions sober, 4th dimension is easy on some LSD, higher dimensions get easier the higher the dose.) Higher does means higher potential to think in nonstandard ways and learn really cool shit, it also means higher potential to think in stupid ways and believe really stupid shit. If you're going to do LSD not for fun but actually to improve yourself you need a good understanding of logic and how to quickly apply the scientific method to anything you see in order to make the best use of it. If you don't, you'll probably have a good time but you'll just be another brainlet hippie.
>amphetamines when working on important things (I mean like, on major parts of major projects, in order to accomplish things above your ability, in order to quickly learn way more than you'd usually be able to) Don't do frequently or you'll become a brainlet for life and you'll need them just to be normal
>Get 8 hours of sleep at predictable hours EVERY NIGHT. Do not stay up, this fucking kills you.
>Get blood tested - have any dietary weird shit going on? vitamin deficiencies? Know if you have any and take care of them
>Eat enough, eat right, don't eat too much. Your brain consumes quite a few calories, if it doesn't have them readily available it will suffer in ability. If those calories come from low quality sources, the result will be low quality. If you eat too much you likely have emotional issues and shit that you need to sort out long before you begin to focus on improving your cognitive abilities.
>Stay fit - You don't have to be ripped or even get a gym membership. Just do pushups or sit ups at night, maybe get a pull up bar. Going to the gym definitely can help, its certainly a good idea. The only people who regret starting going to the gym are the ones who were shown how pathetic they are when they quit.

Bump

>if you don't use adderall constructively you won't gain anything beneficial from it.
It can even harm your body, especially your penis if you start masturbating 6 hours on adderall, kek

I used to grow my own shrooms. Shit was ca$h.

SHROOMS

Apparently you are all a bunch of druggies so let daddy help you.

My Routine on a free day.
-Wake up 5:30
-Read Shakespeare for half an hour
-Read Kishon for half an hour
-Do Yale Youtube stuffs for an hour (Currently on Political Philosophy and doing some middle age's shit for shits and giggles)
-Do Macat (library.macat.com/)
-Some High Intensity Training (Get a beachbody program form /t/ or Piratebay)
-2 Hours of reading about Story Structure (Using the Pomodoro Technique)
-Use the rest of the day to chill, review, or jerk off to anime girls.
-Go to bed between 8 and 10.

*Avoid Sugar, Video Games, Drugs and Pornography to play on Expert.

Now going to bed early is better for your brain (don't wanna strain those neurons) and waking up early makes your day longer. Mind and body have to be one on this, which just means do some blood-pumping excercises so your brain gets more blood (remember? Blood=Good, No Blood=Bad).

If you're broke use Khan Academy instead of Macat.

Don't do drugs, just don't. You wanna take acid? Take one cube (not 2, that was my mistake), sit back and try to relax. You want LSD light? Take Shrooms. However none of these will really help you unless you are working as an aritst or try to delve deeper into some concepts that are related to the social siences. You really wanna get shit done? Take cocaine, the girl will take you for a ride (even though I'm a downers kinda guy).

As a last point I'm gonna go over the topics:
Studytechniques: Pomodoro is good, also always take notes.
Sleepycles: The 5:30 thing I got from a Marine so I guess he knew shit(hopefully someday I can do the Uberman, however as an epileptic this seems dangerous. Source: sleephabits.net/sleep-patterns)
Mnemotechniques: No idea what that is.
Excercise, Sports: Bodybulding.com and a subscription to /hm/. Als HIT.
Nutrition: Stay on the sugar-free side of things
Mental Health: Well, I am on this side so telling you to meditate seems kinda pointless.

Literature: Anything non-fiction relating to your topic of interest (trust me, it's dry in the beginning but like any good rapist you gotta fuck until it gets wet) or fiction that is brilliantly written (if you are an artist).

Nootropics (chemical, natural)
Drugs, Psychadelics: So I take this as one thing, I stopped trying to improve my brain through Nootropics or Psychedlics. It makes you more of a junkie than of an intellectual and combining these things DOES NOT make you a tortured genius. However if this version of you isn't enough: shayanashop.com/

Rock on guys, gotta excerise now.

>-Read Shakespeare for half an hour
>-Read Kishon for half an hour
>-Do Yale Youtube stuffs for an hour (Currently on Political Philosophy and doing some middle age's shit for shits and giggles)
>-Do Macat (library.macat.com/)

Not really getting the joke here, guess your daily routine is more enlightend.

This is good if you remove the pretentious shit (Shakespeare? Lmoa)

Also, you can excercise right after waking up to kickstart your brain. Not my style since it's not yet warm enough to run outside.

I'm trying to become a screenwriter so I do need to read at least some of his shit as influence for my work. The fuck though? What do y'all have against the old 'pear?

Ah, in that case you're excused.
My only problem with Shakespeare is that most people who read/claim to read him only do so because it makes them feel smart

Yea, well I work with actors and directors (THE most pretentious shits on the planet) and telling them you actually read shakespeare makes most of them shut up (except my fucking cousin, quote "You listen to what other people say?" when talking about reading books about story structure).

>pic not related

What do you do to socialize

maybe you need to take more drugs kiddos.
obviously you should replace the specific books and topics with ones from your own field of interest.

>-Learn different languages
good point

it's like if you know C and decide to learn Scheme. to get good you'll have to learn a lot more than some new syntax.

similarly arabic, korean, japanese, chinese, and others, are so far from english in some fundamental ways, and i don't just mean the writing system. i mean shit like the lack of a "pure" future tense, the way they express timings / counts / repetitions, their whole concept of the passive voice, the heavily nested sentence structures.

I go on anime based image boards to find friends...
senpai...

I'm kind of a social monster thanks to my genes (sounds weird but except for my Grandma, everone worked in entertainment) so I never really have a problem socializing anywhere, nevertheless I do go out on weekends so I don't become too antisocial.

honestly, i feel like shakespeare is treated a lot more pretentiously than he deserves.

He was the Seth Rogan of his era, if Seth Rogan invented a shitload of words for every movie. Half his plays were nothing but fucked up shit, people acting ridiculous, incest, and dick/shit jokes. His plays were designed to pander to the lowest common dominator of his era - english speakers (instead of presenting in french or latin), which is part of what made him so popular and relevant.

Someone recommend a good site for shroom spores?

Microdoses are overrated, fuck up your dose a tiny bit and you get the euphoria/driftiness associated with acid, just do adderall/amphetamines if you legit want to be productive.

You don't have to read the posts but it certainly helps

Yea, I kind of agree. Just finished the men from verona and man... its racism, rape jokes and a lot of retarded people.

So you are a NEET?

Yes but I don't want to work

Modafinil isn't useless, it just affects everyone differently. I use it and although I may not get some of the amazing results some people rave about, it does its job as a wakeful agent. I try to use it only twice a week and it has never failed to pick me up. It lasts for the majority of my day and doesn't have a heavy crash. I use it as a substitute for coffee on some days.

Haha yea I guess so

DUDE
WEED MAKES YOU SMART
LMAO

This thread is an example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Psilocybin and LSD decrease activity in your frontal lobe.

A significant percentage of Psilocybin and LSD users experience permanent frontal lobe impairment, which leads to a lifelong decrease in their ability to solve problems. Another significant percentage will recover, but then experience random flashbacks involuntarily for a random amount of time. If you have ancestors or relatives with mental illness, you also run the chance of triggering a psychotic state which, once more, impairs your ability to solve problems.

Really, the net benefit of Psilocybin and LSD is negative when you compare it with other psychoactive substances like Cannabis or Caffeine, neither of which you run the risk of experiencing involuntary flashbacks.

Many argue that the benefit of Psilocybin and LSD is in increase in Serotonin, which is linked to an increase in mood, outlook on life, chattiness, openness to new experiences, etc,, but the truth is that you don't need either substance to increase serotonin levels. Simply socializing and exercise are enough to maintain healthy levels of serotonin. If it isn't, you likely have unrealistic expectations about human interaction, which no drug is going to fix. Only a very small percentage of people are physically incapable of producing enough serotonin without drugs, just like Type I diabetes and "Heart Disease."

If you actually want to "improve your cognition," you need to constantly expose yourself to new problems you don't already know how to solve. That is the actual purpose of the brain, dealing with new information, not just going through the motions of things you already know how to do. You will have an easier time supporting this activity if you supply your brain with enough energy to do the work, which means you need good blood flow (exercise), nutrients (diet) and time for recovery (sleep).

>both parents suffer sometimes from flashbacks after their "drugie youth"
>they "only" smoked cannabis
Ok so I just found out my parents did acid....

i personally found out that going to the gym and working out has really helped me focus more on my studies and even get more motivation to learn physics and math

Here's the trick: find something worth developing yourself to the utmost for.

If you have a sufficiently important open-ended goal, beneficial to yourself and other people at the same time, you'll do much more for your mind by trying wholeheartedly to achieve it than any exercise could.

and? Everyone should try it at least once or twice.

It's inarguably a very different way of looking at the world. If you do it and recognize this difference and feel that it is simply impairment and confusion and not anything meaningful, then that is fine. That was my reaction at first, later I found that it helped my depression, which could be entirely a placebo effect--but it doesn't matter to me, it worked anyways

Stopped reading when you equated topology with imagining the fourth dimension

This. Mindfulness meditation has been clinically proven to increase cortical thickness. Though I think just the act of focusing your attention on to a single thing is enough to show benefits.

The problem is that you're playing roulette with your brain. With every other drug you will eventually sober up. With Psilocybin and LSD you run the risk of permanent impairment or recurring impairment. The risk is not insignificant either, especially when you account for how many of your relatives have a mental illness. I think the main reason you see so many people sing it's praise is because if their IQ is already very high, say 3 SDs above the average, they aren't going to notice a dip as much as someone with an IQ of only 1 SD above the average. Dropping from 160 to 145 is not as big of a deal as dropping from 115 to 100. The latter would have to change jobs and would get knocked down a social tier, whereas the former would just be able to relate to lesser geniuses a little more.

I'd like to reiterate, that the reason people feel enlightened during and after trips on Psilocybin and LSD is because of the decrease of activity in their frontal lobes combined with the hallucinations. When you combine those two together, what you're essentially doing is dangling a kaleidoscope in front of the version of yourself that has a fraction of your pre-trip IQ. To put it more bluntly, you're impressed by the hallucinations and you think they're profound because the drugs make you dumber, not smarter. When you give these people cognitive tests during and after their trips you see significant drops in working and short-term memory. If you value your mind and your ability solve problems, you don't won't bother taking the risk.

As for depression, the reason it makes you feel less depressed is because it temporarily increases your serotonin levels, which is more or less the same thing that common SSRI's do. It still amazes me how many people will in the same breath badmouth anti-depressants and sing praise of LSD and Psilocybin. Cannabis also acts as an anti-depressant but you don't run the risk of recurring cannabis flashbacks... unfortunately.

Got any source on LSD/Psilocybin permanently reducing frontal lobe activity and IQ? It seems like you are just talking out of your ass. They reduce connectivity in different parts of the brain _while_ you are on the drug, but not after. LSD and Psilocybin are probably the safest drugs you can use as far a long term side effects go.

Its because it makes you complete relaxed and carefree so you can properly focus and not stress your brain from multitasking. What I'm doing and thing it would be probably big pretty soon is being completely relaxed(Muscle tension) ALL THE TIME. You have no idea how good it feels and how focus and feels free you're. Its like meditating but without doing it and if you also meditate you increase your "brainpower" even more.

I'm calling bullshit. Give me a single citation for the frontal lobe impairment and the flashbacks.

Furthermore, hallucinations on LSD aren't significant below large doses. And the benefits of LSD and psilocybin on depression are far beyond an increase in serotonin.

>Don't do LSD, smoke weed!
Hi CIA.
Also nice digits.

>Smoked weed once and now I have permanent brain fog
Smoke it again. The last time I did, it slightly fucked with my finger coordination (I can't possibly type a whole sentence without makingat least one mistake) but it enhanced my logic by the same amount.

Fucking potheads

>drug impairs frontal lobe activity
>people who use drug think they are in the position to doubt that this happens

Man, acid and mushroom users crack me up. It's always people who are already smart (or think they are) who claim it doesn't have a negative effect. Also you should actually read the thread in that link you posted. No one is saying it increased their IQ, and in fact they're all skeptical of that claim, and instead they said it *changed* the way they thought about things- one guy described it as "thinking without words." The reason you're thinking without words is because you're temporarily regressing into a primitive state while also feeling the upper effect of the serotonin. You feel good and your judgement is impaired so you think everything is great and incapable of description, but the thing is, you literally are incapable of describing it and just impressed by your own obvious, literal thoughts. There's nothing profound about it- the great irony of LSD enlightenment.

You see this more now with recent generations of scientists or mathematicians. A few major scientists decide to try acid, think it "expands their mind" and that there's some conspiracy by the government to also prevent people from "expanding" their minds, but then they slowly loose their ability to think critically and "choose" to go do art or something less challenging than science instead. You just don't see people advance in their field after using acid more often than you see people "change their mind" and do something less challenging. (Watch that statement get quoted as "you just don't see people advance in their field after using acid.")

Acid makes you *feel* more intelligent, it doesn't actually make you more intelligent in any measurable way. You don't test better. The only drugs that actually increases people's scores on cognitive tests are of course stimulants, which is actually reproducible, and well known.

The vast majority of people in this threat aren't saying that lsd increases intelligence. They're saying it can help you to think differently.

personally, I would say that LSD is more important for spiritual and emotional purposes than anything else. And I know a shitload of people are going to be triggered to shit for my use of the word "spiritual" and they likely misunderstand the purpose with which I use the word. I mean it in the sense of understanding onself and ones place in the world on a very basic level, and embracing it in such a way to make yourself happy, and resistant to the suffering naturally encountered in this world. there is nothing profound about this either, though often, it will feel greatly profound - its part of learning to 'just be' and just be happy. I feel like you deeply misunderstand this and deeply misunderstand the experience.

still not seeing that citation, by the way. All studies as far as I'm aware have shown it to be a practically harmless substance.

>Also you should actually read the thread in that link you posted.
But I did read it.
>No one is saying it increased their IQ, and in fact they're all skeptical of that claim
IQ is not an absolute measure of intelligence.
Hallucinogens help develop new useful pathways in your brain.
>The reason you're thinking without words is because you're temporarily regressing into a primitive state while also feeling the upper effect of the serotonin.
Your point of view is wrong.
The transition from thinking in words to thinking in pictures to thinking in feelings hoovering over your head that don't have a images associated to them but express a whole sentence, is a good thing.
Mind you that you don't lose your ability to think in words.
I've read of people learning to do this (those who solely think in words) after quite long periods of positive mental exertion.

I should have quoted the whole part.
>The reason you're thinking without words is because you're temporarily regressing into a primitive state while also feeling the upper effect of the serotonin. You feel good and your judgement is impaired so you think everything is great and incapable of description, but the thing is, you literally are incapable of describing it and just impressed by your own obvious, literal thoughts. There's nothing profound about it- the great irony of LSD enlightenment.
You have literally no idea what you're talking about.
>Research by child development theorist Linda Kreger Silverman suggests that less than 30% of the population strongly uses visual/spatial thinking, another 45% uses both visual/spatial thinking and thinking in the form of words, and 25% thinks exclusively in words.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_thinking

Not only that, but you distorted the content of the post.
>Yes, I feel that in my own mind, LSD usage has unlocked a capacity for abstract thought that I previously didn't have (or it was simply inaccessible to me). The only way I can describe this phenomenon is that I can "think without words," penetrating directly into a concept without the barriers of spoken language to guide me. This has transferred over into my everyday life, as my ability and interest in mathematics, engineering, and science increased dramatically after I became aware of this dormant ability. Now, I'm not saying that LSD makes you smarter -- I don't think it does that -- but I do think that LSD has the ability to dramatically change the way your brain processes stimuli which could have a beneficial impact on how you process academic subjects. Its kind of hit or miss, though.

Parrots, why try it yourself when you can simply repeat what an awthawity says?

>regurgitating memorized trivia

Alt. theory: You started subconsciously realizing how pointless what you know is, and that idea scares you, so you externalized the fear of this onto the substance and blamed it for your 'lack of motivation' to care about and memorize formulas rather than asking how or why.

If you can't even explain basic concepts you should try getting your brain checked. You might be suffering from brain damage caused by taking too much psychedelics.
