Enhanced body.

body

even with the brain I won't be able to invent or discover that much

brain
the no sleep thing got me

Body - you have all the time in the world to learn and master the things you are interested in.

The mind is really only good for serving others, who cares if you solve societies ills? With the body you enhance yourself.

Natural immortality trumps all, even though for everything else the enhanced brain is far, far ahead.

Option number 3:
a gf

I would take the brain and then just invent a cyborg body that would be immortal.

>>4194417

>implying either of those won't give you one

enhanced body gives lots of time to learn, its a no brainer. eh eh

>>4194398
this is difficult. I could keep myself safe, and then live forever, then learn whatever I want. Or I could choose mind, and no sleep, but that wouldnt matter with infinite body... because I would live forever.

I would say body, Natural immortality beats anything on the mind side

brain, study medicine and biology until i can enhance my body with science and tech

>>4194420

You can invent one without the brain as well.

So, how much progress do you have till now ?

>>4194422
According to /sci/ they are not attracted to intelligence.
According to /fit/ they are neither attracted to fitness.

>>4194415
>Body - you have all the time in the world to learn and master the things you are interested in.

>Out of control Bus flies through your wall killing you instantly

So much for immortality

>>4194429
Implying I won't squat the bus for reps.

>80 years old but I have the body of a 20 yo
>people suspect that I'm immortal
>some fag wants to test it and shoots me in the head
Such is life in the zone.

>>4194429
OP stated, that unnatural causes of death will still affect the ones who select body. with brain your reflexes are better and you dodge the bus while hunk of meat gets splattered

>natural immortality
>would be able to live to see us colonize space

why the shit not

>>4194440
Change identities every 10 years.

That's a tough one, but I'll take the body. Being immune to all diseases and illnesses sounds pretty good. Besides i'm happy with my current brain.

also this>>4194442

>>4194440
>people suspect that I'm immortal
Most of use never leave our basements anyway so we don't have to worry about that.

two questions, what the fuck are kinestetic and mental chonometry?

and will our kids have these upgrades?

Brain. No sleep = endless nights at the gym. Maybe not the best body possible but I'd at least have a kickass body with a godlike mind.

>>4194441
Get the fuck out.

Better memory would be fun, but in the end I'd rather have a body that doesn't age.

That said, I wouldn't want to live forever. I'd like to have a button that I can press which will kill me instantly and painlessly if I decide it's time to go.

Probably the body.
Then I could exercise my mind to the appropriate level that I wish.

Tough decision though.

I'll take both.

WHY NOT USE YOUR NEW BRAIN TO GET YOU ALL THE SAME BENEFITS OF THE BODY MORONS?

>>4194714
why not use immortality given by the body to get all the benefits of the brain you moron?

Even with the body, everybody's mind has limits, and it won't be as helpful. Although, with the mind, you can waste less time studying and sleeping, and you can still maintain a good body.

When it comes down between using the body to get a good brain, and using the brain to get a good body, having the brain is the better and easier bet.

Brain.

Because I DO want to solve all of societies ills. As >>4194415 said, the body is best for enhancing yourself, but with the brain you could also enhance others.

If you are not immune to bullets, a better shield is to make others believe you are so important, they will go to extreme lengths to protect you from harm. The best way to do that, without the chance of sudden backfire from a revealed lie or seditious plan, is to actually BE that important.

As an added bonus, increasing the standard of life for every member of the human race, solving major problems, and in general fixing the mess we've gotten ourselves into is what is best for everyone in the long run, and we're all better off living in a world where people would choose to do that rather than gratify themselves over all others.

And that is the kind of world I wish to encourage, by my choices.

>>4194788
Even with the brain, everybody's mind has limits, and it won't be as helpful. Having the brain would be like having 10 lifes to think at a normal pace. Maybe not enough time to reach your limits

>>4194423

>>4194398
Enhanced body. I am entirely satisfied with my current mind, and from my experience, people appreciate people with a better physique than them but tend to loathe people with a better intelligence than them.

>>4194746
>Body enhanced versus Brain enhanced

Body, not thinking ahead very well and with great arrogance, walks up to Brain to kill him in a fist fight. Brain, immediately having foreseen such a scenario, isn't even actually there. Some kind of decoy puppet lures in Body, and Body then, with again very little forethought, punches the decoy which is stuffed with syringes full of Botulinum Neurotoxin. Muscles are paralyzed and Body dies soon after.

Brain goes on to live his merry life for the rest of his days.

physical fitness can be achieved by hard work and endurance. intelligence can not be earned.

>>4194909
I know this is a troll, but body through natural intelligence leaves the brain alone.
One of them then dies of old age; guess which?

>>4194917

physical talent is like intelligence, it can't be earned, though one can invest time and learn a physical skill

>>4194982
>physical talent is like intelligence, it can't be earned,

body

>>4194970
How is an opinion a troll? Plus, Brain is smart enough to know that Body(since he is superhuman as well), is the only real possible threat to him. If Body doesn't attack, then Brain will take the initiative and preemptively destroy Body. Then Brain researches anti-aging and lives as long as he likes.

Checkmate.

>>4195031
Is that a king moving into a space that is being threatened by opposing pieces?

>>4195031
>Then Brain researches anti-aging and lives as long as he likes.

You don't sleep, and will probably be very healthy, so a liberal ~1.6x an average lifespan

You have maybe 220 IQ (people on /sci/ are really slightly above average, believe or no.)

You think 3x as fast as others and can master "complex systems" very quickly
None of this implies you would be fast enough at RESEARCH to add anything noticable to the many, many genuine scientists at work on aging today.

>>4195059

>>4195059
Thats why the filename is lawlchess, numbnuts

>>4195065
IQ works on a logarithmic scale... That means the higher the IQ, the more significant the difference. I.E. the difference between 116 and 117 is smaller than the difference between 199 and 200. An IQ of 220~230 is astronomically smart. With increased reading speed and perfect memory there's virtually no human problem that couldn't be solved in an hour or two with such mental prowess.

I seriously hope you're trolling when you say all of that wouldn't affect one's ability to research in anyway surpassing current day science. If not, you're severely deluded or ignorant.

>>4195083
Yes you are very smart, but that only helps you come up with likely hypotheses. Research still has physical and time limitations.

>>4195088
Compared to this fictional super-genius I'm an absolute idiot, but even I could figure out some ways around that. Social engineering, or even actual engineering, building new computing and/or robotics system to assist with research. I mean, he has an average, if not somewhat longer, lifespan to figure it out...

>>4195083
Highest IQ

Kim Ung-yong -- 210
Pretty close to what you'd get with brain right?

Google him, go ahead. He's a Korean hydroengineer who is definitely a genius, but has made NO HUGE LEAPS IN ANY TECHNOLOGY.
This ain't due to laziness, he learnt calculus at 7 months old (verified) and has published over 90 papers.
Yet without him, the field would be FUNDAMENTALLY THE SAME.

I don't know whether you think he solves human problems in ~12 hours (3x thinking speed, 2x reading - rough obviously) and then sits on them, but seriously. Geniuses are human, even the one in this picture

>>4195083
>virtually no human problem that couldn't be solved in an hour or two with such mental prowess

implying a hyperintelligent person wouldn't come up with more even harder problems that he can't solve

>>4195102
I never implied that...

>>4195102
>>4195104

See
>>4195100

>>4195108
No.

>>4195100
How did he score 210?
Which test did he take?
The free online IQ tests posted on /sci/ usually don't allow more than 140.

>>4195115
Stanford-Binet

>>4195100

Correct, Richard Feynman had an IQ of only 125 but was he not one of the greatest scientists of the twentieth century?

>>4195121
Didn't clarify; this is the standard clinical test which he took.

>>4195122
He wasn't. Maybe one of the most popular.

>>4195121
Ah, thanks.
I looked it up and this seems to be one of these tests which also test verbal abilities and memory instead of only testing pattern recognition.
Now I'm just geussing, but don't people usually score better when these are involved?

>>4195136
>wins nobel price
>not one of the greatest scientists of his time
inb4 nobel is a Jewish conspiracy

>>4195144
What the hell is a nobel price?

>>4195146
prize rather

The brain seems like the obvious choice. The ability to master complex systems so easily will drastically advance all theoretical fields. Perhaps I could even create a friendly AI, ushering in the beginning of a new, golden age.

>>4195122

Also to the people who believe absolutely that brain size determines IQ which determines intelligence. Einstein's brain was only at 1230 grams which is at the low end of the average.

>>4195150
Please, those are like candy nowadays. Women get them and Obama got one for doing nothing.

>>4195154
and Al Gore got one for a power point presentation full of made up data and intentional fallacies

>>4195153
There's so many reasons why that could be wrong, not least of which is the fact that he was old and that he had essentially optimized his neural circuitry to eliminate unnecessary neurons.

>>4195154

Nigger, you're not seriously comparing the Nobel peace and the one in economics with the other ones?

your still a faggot for report fucking unimportant shit no1 even cares about, mods will probably ban you for being a faggot more than the people you actually report.

The mind one. When I don't need sleep I can just study and work out 24/7.

Reported for unjust reporting

>>4195273
erm, when people say 'reported' that doesnt necessarily mean they actually have reported, they could just be trolling to piss you off, (not that any1 would really get pissed off by that, because the rules are static, and whether people report or not, it makes no difference, the mods just might notice posts that genuinly break rules a little faster)

and i suppose i should appreciate what you're trying to do, but dont join in the fucking report spamming, just ignore those faggots.

Close

The natural immortality is a catch 22. What good is it to be able to accomplish amazing physical feats if the physical world is the only thing that can hurt me? I'd be tempted to hunker down with food and water and wait until the end of human civilization and/or the world

Reported for racism. Check the rules. What kind of place do you think this is? Enjoy your ban.

body

I enjoy the challenge of learning new things, so I have less reason to make mental activities easy. Being ageless, strong, and great at acrobatics for nothing, though, would be great, especially if it would allow me to craft things more intricately.

I've been seeing these image files about tripcode filters. Just gave it a try and it feels great. Give it a try guys

Why do you use a pic of Laura Nielsen?

Brain, I want to become as smart as possible. This way it will free up time when I complete all my assignments and don't need to study for my tests I can go to the rec center.

This was easily the brain until the very last point, immortality makes it a completely different question, you could fuck off the rest of the stipulations. If you asked me, "Immortality, or Smartest Human Alive?" I'd still pick the former.

Difficult question to answer. I don't see any downsides to the body, but the brain could lead to things like depression.

I'd go with the body, but I'd like to be able to "test drive" the brain for a few weeks first.

I'm pretty fucking smart/moderatelytalented already, but I am one pathetic betafag. So body.

>pick body
>acquire bitches and lift things for money

Why would anyone choose the brain?

Brain. I'll build myself a better body.

Fuck yeah brain. Any one who chooses body is too stupid that you can get all the body's benefits with your new genius mind.

>>4195971
Immortal to natural causes of death, you can still die if you get murdered or in a car accident for example.

Brain, we're close enough being able to achieve immortality through medicine that the strongest case for the body is moot. Actually the brain enhancement would make most any of us the most intelligent person on the planet thus accelerating that end goal.

The body one, because my brain is already pretty badass and the body one is promising immortality.

clearly body.

i can build a better mind for myself with all of the extra centuries.

plus building you mind is much more fun.

also, once youre beautiful you dont need the mind.... but i still would.

I would pick the brain one and lay in bed asleep for the rest of my life accomplishing nothing then die at an old age content with the knowledge that I was the smartest mother fucker on Earth at one point in time.

Intelligence would get me money which would in turn bring bitches and blow.
Body would give me the ability to dance forever also bringing me bitches then, eventually, blow.

It's hard to choose.

Brain, and I would design machines to make my muscles meaningless.

Besides the fact that gaining 100 IQ points dose not inherently mean anything, for all you know it means you instantly know all the answers on all the IQ tests you take and nothing else.


However the no sleep/ability to master complex systems is incredibly useful , you'd be by far the most productive person in the world if you had the will power.

Which I think is the problem with this one enhanced brain I doubt anyone on 4chan has the will power to use the enhanced brain power to it's fullest potential.

On the other hand body is to good to pass up, with minimum training you could win any sporting event and live your entire immortal life with bitches and money.

Add the fact your immune to STD'S and it's pimp city.

The brain, living without all my loved ones would tear me and and I'd love to be remembered as one of the earths greatest geniuses.

>>4194415
this

Anyone with a brain would choose body.

Immortality.

That is all.
