How do I increase IQ, brain function, power and memory?

Just read this. Apparently our brain biases us to see the world as we expect it, not as it truly is.

How the FUCK did the brain not know it was the brain? For thousands of years the brain thought it was just some vaguely useful gland. In a lot of cultures the dead got their brains thrown out before getting buried too.
Isn't it a little bit fucky?

So you're telling me you cannot identify what this is a picture of right here...? You just shrug at it and go "that could be anything, who knows what that is"? You and I both know that pic related is a fucking brain... Ever heard of the Law of Identity? Do you even logic, bro? You have identified the brain and you are identifying the brain as a material phenomenon. To deny this you'd have to say you have absolutely no fucking clue as to what pic related is, that you can't even name it, and you can't even call it a material object...

Is it possible to have a really sensitive brain to things? Any time I do something that's bad for me just once, I feel the effects.

Like, there are always people in my classes with soda, energy drinks, etc. People eat fast food, etc. and they seem to do just fine in class. I drink nothing but water and a black coffee in the morning, but if I drank one can of soda just one day, the next day I would feel terrible and low on energy. If I go like 2 days without exercise, I feel the same. If I listen to too much music, my brain feels exhausted, I start to get a headache and I need to listen to silence for awhile. If I'm sitting in front of my laptop for too long, I start to feel nauseous. etc.

Basically if I'm not being as healthy as I can and at the top of my game, I start to feel effects from it. It's like my brain or body is really sensitive to bad things. Is there a reason for this?

What are the requirments to go to MIT or Harvard? or any ivy league
also how do you go for free?

Is there an IQ test online that:
1. is free
2. doesn't require registration
3. is actually good?
Because most of the test I've seen require some kind of registration or they don't even ask you about your age.
