How do I become smart?

Unless you have a great knowledge of music theory so that it engages your brain, there is literally no reason to listen to classical over rap. Bach Beethoven and Chopin are normietier as fuck by the way, poser.

Learn formal logic, investigate whether premises are empirically true, throw in some math for fun, investigate your own values (make sure they are in harmony with each other).

Sounds good, but most people know all of this. The real question is "How do you implement all of this in your life?" no one has the answer to that, because each individual must answer it in a unique way, by themselves.

Nice bait but yeah, don't take these suggestions too seriously OP.

1st: is meaningless and actually the "bad" genres will probably do more good, as they are lyrical and more varied. But ultimately music is irrelevant in this endeavor.

2nd: has merit but means little, podcasts are dogshit and only slightly above movies, the average retard on the street knows more about the topics at hand than podcast hosts do, too. A documentary or educational video is far above podcasts but still shit. Learn through the theory in textbooks and the focused practice of that theory. Anything else is watered-down, time-wasting garbage.

3rd: generally good suggestion but not so if done aimlessly, do "mathematical problems" relevant to your education, what you want to practice to improve. Otherwise it will give you nothing. "brain training" is a lie, it doesn't provide general ability, only those specific tasks. Solving lots of mathematical problems won't do anything, solving a limited amount of those you are not well-acquainted with, will - keep pushing out the borders of your ability lest you stagnate to a stop and remain in a trap of delusion.

4th: doesn't say much, you shouldn't under-consume or over-consume anything. Align your diet to your specific body and lifestyle, your needs.

5th: audiobooks are for lazy faggots, you simply reduce your retention, often they're used to pretend to read too, like just putting them on the background. Just read books, with your full attention or forget about it as you'll just be wasting your time without that 100%.

Having the information and truly understanding it are two pair of shoes. If people know that there is only the honest way, why do they search day and night for the shortcut, for some key piece of information that will change everything? All of the things named are suffering, they are the hard way. There are not many people who are able to go that way.

>bach, beethoven and chopin

lol what a pleb

Beethoven is godlike, what are you on about?

>I'm moderately capable of becoming decently intelligent

Well, for a start, don't write a sentence like this.

A more relevant question- how can i find the work ethic that allows one to train the mind?

Stop Veeky Forums, video games and all your other time wasting hobbies immediately. Just work on your goals for at least an entire week. To avoid burnout slowly introduce fun hobbies yet again with time restrictions. Increase slowly till you work half on your productive things and half on entertainment. At some point when you feel you need to work more again drop all hobbies and slowly introduce them after a week. Repeat and customize cycle to whatever has the best ratio for you.

I guess that you can't improve much of your general intelligence beyond being aware of the things that happen to you and exercizing your critical thinking. But you can become virtually limitlessly skillfull in a specific subject given time and focus, regardless of your innate intelligence

Fuck you and your contrarian opinions you keep to feel unique.

I agree with this.
This is stupid. If you want to become a boring octogenarian in your twenties choose this.
Bait

Find a topic you're interested in, and push yourself into it until you start to think about it in novel ways.

learn math, fucker

copious amounts of crack

pseud

hahahahahaha fuck you pseud

here's a trick you should follow: Go back to /pol/ you fucking pseud faggot

>HelloInternet
I fucking hate CGP Grey, even though I used to quite like the podcast.

He's such a smug cunt and thinks he is so incredibly clever despite the fact he literally only has a fucking undergraduate degree in Physics. Why does he think he can talk with any degree of authority about literally anything else? He's a cunt.

The fucking epitome of a reddit "le logical man xD"

I'm just gonna assume it's a troll, in which case it's actually really funny.

Go to school and take it seriously. You'll learn what separates smart people from dumb people is just methods.

Once you can approach your problems with methods, you might find things are a little easier.

1. Just lol
2. Holy fuck what are you on
3. Maybe
4. Yup
5. Yup

Then what is godtier according to you?

>pseud tier

To become smart:

1) listen to grindcore as loud as possible through samsung earbud headphones all day long I recommend Cripple Bastards, Unholy Grave and Agathocles
2) Watch degenerate pornography and violent movies, I recommend Incest Port and the a fantastic website called liveleak.com
3) Drink coca cola and monster energy drinks instead of xeno-estrogen laden tap water whenever you get dizzy
5)avoid reading anything it sucks up precious brainpower, masturbate furiously and play vidya until you need to actually do something smart

user here has it right. Just be yourself! but if you really want to be smart, do begin with mathematics, since, unlike disciplines like history or social sciences, there is little you need to memorize as most of it just comes to you. Start with precalculus and go from there.

6) read books that look complex, in public areas

meant "read"

Start browsing /pol/ and accept the red pill.

I really like this post

IQ is a race. You're starting now while the majority of us have been solving proofs, programming blockchains and pushing publications since we were 1-3 years old. You will never catch up to us, forever at the wrong end of the curve.

Just give up now, brainlet

my nigga

Yet you have the time to shitpost on Veeky Forums.

Oh the Fe

None of this has anything to do with studying. Go somewhere else.

>IQ
Intelligence is a race, and your goal is to outrun yourself in the present. No other competitors matter.

Is that Lain?

Of course.

Math

Questioning is the foundation of human consciousness. Intelligence is simply being good at asking questions, including what are the most suitable to be asked in a specific context. True geniuses don't search for answers, they search for questions, and mine answers for them.

Eat vegetable, fruits, nuts, meat, and drink water. A bit of wine is not bad, or beer. Don´t use drugs. Drink the upcranking Schockopresso (the name explains the recipe), cause it´s good for the memory. Listen to hard rock and true metal. Read and write. That´s my recipe for beeing a genius. Take this every day for 10 years and you´ll become very good. For risk or sideeffects ask the advisor.

Actually......
Classical has a much easier display of musical theory to get a hold of, so it is really good for a beginner to listen to. Baroque is also good for tonality and scales, and romantic is great for dynamics and rhythm (and understanding chords I, IV, and V - Romantic was blues for French Aristocrats). The reason I say this is because it is super easy to explain why Ode To Joy sounds good in comparison to a soulful blues song. It's really complex to explain but tl;dr, if you want to learn music theory, historical listening progression is the best.

learn a foreign language or few

NoFap is the only answer

>Podcasts

pleb tier on the same level as watching cartoons

Learn. Read. Tell the truth as you see it and don't be afraid of getting challenged about it.

Good post

Hype yourself up about things that interest you and go nuts on the internet (start from youtube lectures and moocs, if that's you thing).
