/sci/ - Science & Math

it's a cool story

but i'm not sure what do you expect/want us to say?

Not gonna call you out for you're poast.

But your a FUCKING RETARDED DUMBASS for you're HORRIBLY STUPID name.

/sci/ is NOT le reddit.

Addendum

Q: Ok so what drugs are they? I want super smarts you stupid nigger faggot. Stop stalling on us, attention whore. saged, reported
A: Chances are that they would not have the same effect on the vast majority of you as it would on me. I've searched around and could not find any case of anything like this happening, though admittedly I may not have found such a case. Furthermore, you would be very DO NOT WANT about the other effects that they have.

They are not antidepressants or any sort of AD(H)D meds. They're also perfectly legal (/w prescription) in most of the developed world and I did not smuggle them or get them from some shady online pharmacy.

Don't worry about this guy, he goes from thread to thread raging about everything

>>4428856
So do you really expect us to reach any sort of educated conclusion without actually know what sort of illness or medicine did you take? You think that the question "uh.. I think I'm sick and I took some pills now I'm smart. is this ok?" could have only one possible answer?

You have to give us more than that

But I'll put this out here right now: No drug out there can make you "smarter", there is no free lunch when it comes to these things

>>4428859
>Don't worry about this guy, he goes from thread to thread raging about everything
That's what I figured with the you're/your stuff.

>So do you really expect us to reach any sort of educated conclusion without actually know what sort of illness or medicine did you take? You think that the question "uh.. I think I'm sick and I took some pills now I'm smart. is this ok?" could have only one possible answer?
I don't know what I was expecting posting this thread. Some sense of relief? Some sort of lead to go on? Something...

The condition that they're taken for is really, really controversial and would completely derail the thread. I'll wait a bit before disclosure. You can keep on guessing for now.

inb4 Sex reassignment therapy

>>4428872
You do realize that this board is anonymous right? And there is no "thread" before you mention anything, because nobody in here cares unless you throw us a bone

In the worst possible case scenario just take your tripfag off, pretend it was somebody else and also help derail the thread. It's what everyone does

>They have given me a level of mental focus, clarity, and insight that I have never experienced in my entire post-pubescent life. My coursework just makes so much more sense. I sleep deeper, more consistently, and I'm far more well rested when I get up
Probably delusions. Common side effects of many Antidepressants. Do some actual tests if your metal capacity increase or if you just feel like it increased.

>>4428859
>No drug out there can make you "smarter", there is no free lunch when it comes to these things
One possibility considered: I had this potential that was already there, but it got released.

I'm not an expert in biology or drugs or narcotics or anything. I'm really straight-laced. I don't drink and I've never smoked weed. I'm sure the nootropics people can weigh in on this.

Another thing: Nobody takes this shit recreationally.

Not gonna play your stupid troll game.

Name the drug or fuck off.

>>4428887
Give me a link to a no-bullshit online test of some sort and I'm game. Such a thing may be hard to find, however.

Maybe one of those speed reading tests?

>>4428884
>You do realize that this board is anonymous right?
Yes.
The trip is to help distinguish between the real me and some jerk who butts in with "im smart lol, Derp"

Yeah, there's really nothing to talk about here since we know nothing

>>4428900
>Name the drug or fuck off
Already called it. OP is undergoing HRT.

You were probably just depressed for so long that you're not used to your "normal" work capacity. You're horribly over thinking this scenario.

>>4428902
>The trip is to help distinguish between the real me and some jerk
No excuses for the "Derp" though. I didn't put any thought into that. Guess I'm not so smart after all! Derp.

>>4428893
It could be a number of things.

You could actually be this smart and only have some sort of depression or lack of self-confidence that made you feel the way you were before

It could also be that you're not smart at all, just an illusion based on some biological crap

Also, it could just be a placebo effect and you're not any different at all.

>>4428902
>Give me a link to a no-bullshit online test of some sort and I'm game
This wouldn't help unless you already took it before the drugs to compare. If it were based on psychological illusions/placebos you'd think it was a good result regardless

>The trip is to help distinguish between the real me and some jerk who butts in with "im smart lol, Derp"
I don't mean it like this. I mean that there is nothing that could go wrong with this. In the worst case scenario you forget the tripcode and the thread and it will never reach you ever again. Also, this thread currently is shit.

Give us the drug man

>>4428902
Online test are not so good. You need a test that hands out different, yet equally hard answers each time. Psychologist usually do "real" IQ tests, just ask one.
Also important to be off the drug for a week or so to have a reliable control.
If whoever gives you the test agrees, do them blind or even double blind. Then you have some actual evidence.

>>4428915
>Online test are not so good. You need a test that hands out different, yet equally hard answers each time. Psychologist usually do "real" IQ tests, just ask one.
Yes, that is on the agenda.

>Also important to be off the drug for a week or so to have a reliable control.
I'll bring that up with the doc but.... after finals.

guys calm down it's just water

Have you been vaccinated, OP?
Then it could be autism.

>>4428907
>>4428881
Since this thread is headed nowhere, I'll acknowledge you. You're correct. I'm a trap, tranny, transwoman, transgender. You know, one of those freaks.

This opens up another question:
Was I just thinking with my balls this whole time without even knowing it? This vestigial thing which the anti-androgens are killing.

>"The condition that they're taken for is really, really controversial."
>"no one takes these recreationally"
>depression, which is mutually inclusive with transgender people
>seeing a therapist, which is a requirement of HRT

The mystery has been solved.

>>4428946
You were depressed. Depression depletes nearly every mental faculty's performance. You're feeling better now. Therefor, you're also starting to feel more capable again. Simple as that.

Oh OP you trolled us sooooooooo hard.

Epic, rly epic.

[In case you didn't notice: This was irony]

>>4428969
>irony

>>4428969
You sound like an idiot
OP wasn't even trying to troll anyone

>>4428981
If all you have is a hammer...

If all your social interaction comes from really abrasive anonymous internet forums...

>>4428946
hiya. I've been on HRT for 7 months and I've noticed a large increase in self-understanding, interpersonal understanding, ability to focus, and I arrive at awesome ideas much more commonly than before. It is probably mostly due to dispelling depression, but you should also keep in mind that trans people on the whole have brain structs that are more similar to their professed gender. So hormones may be making things run more smoothly =)

Assuming I have the prerequisite knowledge, I never run into items I don't understand anymore. Unconscious and conscious communicate directly.

>>4428984
You were smart all along, but you're not depressed and now you're at full capacity.

>>4428989

Ok, cool. I may not be a genius but I'm in a hell of a lot better shape than before. Thanks, modern medicine.

what the fuck am i reading

>>4429005
I know 3 other trans girls AFK and they're all intelligent. o_O also, fuck yeah modern medicine! ;D
>>4428956
Actually, no, not a requirement. Hormones can be ordered from overseas pharmacies. They're more expensive and not as good though.

mental ability is directly affected by diet, sleep patterns and mental state; if the pills removed your depression and improved your sleeping patterns then it's likely that your capabilities improved that way and not from some sort of magic intelligence side effect.

>>4429012
The irony of all this is that I'm so much better at math, driving, thinking on my feet, coding, driving, everything on girl pills than I am as a guy.

I'm an uglier femshep.

>>4429060
uh yeah, I know that feel. Testosterone poisoning inducing autism sucks.

>>4429060
are you cute

>>4429087
There's a lot more to being a woman than cute or fuckable.

I haven't been on them for nearly any length of time that an outsider would notice. On the outside, I'm all dude with a slightly soft chest.

So far, I haven't been very preoccupied with gender or concerns about my appearance (general vanity). Now I'm just happy I can juggle a 19 credit/quarter course load and still shit post on 4chan from time to time.

>>4429168
I find it easier to consider myself a girl instead of a woman. "Woman" has a lot of conceptual baggage to live up to. Also, recommend Whipping Girl if you haven't read it (hopefully you have). Big confidence booster.

OP was prescribed weed and he just thinks he is super smart.

Either that or he is starting to experience the brain rot effects of meth and he now lives in a psychological dream world where he is intelligent.

>>4428956
>>4428793
>insight that I have never experienced in my entire post-pubescent life.
>post-pubescent
This was another give away.

>>4429180
>Whipping Girl
Been meaning to read that. Will do.

>"Woman" has a lot of conceptual baggage to live up to.
Care to elaborate?

>>4429211
Not much to elaborate on. "Woman" means you are female and have developed and been socialised that way for a while. In reality, you're gonna become childish but with some adult knowledge. 2nd puberty is a kinda big deal. It's tough to deal with, I suggest other trans girl friends if possible.

Congratulations, OP.
It seems that you've been introduced to amphetamines.

those anti fag pills obviously arent working bro. you should call your doc get him to increase the dose.

He's probably taking anti-fag pills.
