Is there a way to have only cognitive effects of psychedelics such as lsd? To either kill the visual effects or to get the cognitive effects some other way?
>inb4 microdosing
I'm talking about full blown effects

i remember asking about this before... notice how physics majors have a higher iq than math majors? someone responded that there are more women in math going into education, and if you look at other charts that is true... i do think there is more to it however - when you are doing physics vs math there are very different states of minds you have to adopt...

with math you essentially have to show tautologies and the largest difficulty is in playing with the abstraction so everything fits together... learning math i think might be easier than physics since you need more creative problem solving in math - it is more so a matter of you finding the right insight

with learning physics however, you have to use your analytic problem solving abilities which is far more g-loaded... the problem with physics-learning is that you are giving a set of tools, and you are tasked to decipher what the question is asking... you need your physical intuition for things or you are going to have a bad time, and rote-memorizing questions isn't gunna work...

i think in both, you need a plan of attack and then the questions are trivial, but with physics there is more variety in possible plans of attack... with math you have direct proofs, proof by contradiction, etc, and you just need to get exactly which and how you are gunna pull it off. physics you need to understand how several variables interrelate with eachother, as well as have a solid understanding of how a system progresses over time

biology in comparison is far easier since there is very little of a problem solving component... honestly, the largest issues people have with bio is that they don't know how to properly study. i remember suggesting some guys studying bio to just use flashcards, but they just never bother to. seriously, with flashcards i was able to study 700+ words in a few months when i was like 15...

cs is high up if you are taking more theoratical courses as you need a mix of the above for m&s

Why do physics majors have higher IQs than Math? Is it because Physics requires more modelling and relations to actual phenomena?

Your daily reminder that physics >math and that Nature is the best mathematician.

>Something easy like geology or something? (its just rocks).


Geology still a lot harder than any of the shitty classes you took in your Liberal Arts college.

Geology take Calculus just as Economics or any STEM major.

& Geology requires more math than Accounting & Biology.

Physics and Math have much higher IQ

Non-pajeet CS majors need to be purged

Consider these options (under 110 IQ)

>it's a chemist or biology major shitting on engineers to try to be accepted by the math and physics majors episode

Why is physics considered harder than mathematics?

>anyone can learn anything if they are truly passionate about it
>any field in STEM is simple to understand

Biology is very simple & easy compared to other STEM majors

But try to learn Graduate level Physics, Math & EE by yourself without ever going to College faggot.

Then tell me that's easy or not.

Wrong, nice try though, jealous brainlet.
IQ and academic success:
These also include non-STEM:
>High school dropouts: IQ 85 (U.S. white norms)
>University grads: IQ 108 (U.S. white norms)
>PhDs: IQ 119 (U.S. white norms)
>Harvard students: IQ 125 (U.S. white norms)
>Tenured professors: IQ 127 (U.S. white norms)
>Academic Nobel Prize winners: IQ 148 (U.S. white norms)

For just STEM alone, I imagine it would be higher and more in-line with:

Astrophysics.
It's the coolest shit ever, I love what I do. Specifilacally I'm doing instrumentation, so like the production and design of detectors and space technology.
