How do I increase the following:
>Memory renention (both short and long term)
>Ability to focus
>Ability to learn quicker
I know excersise, healthy eating, meditation (supposedly) all help in increasing brain function. What are some other methods?

>Memory retention
Use Anki or any other spaced-repetition program.

>> No.11255082

>ability to focus
drugs, classical conditioning, don't be cumbrain.
>ability to learn quicker
have greater amount of neurons for faster processing.
learn better learning techniques (ex. pomodoro)
>memory retention
>short
working memory (5-7 things). Cant increase, you're born with a certain capacity.
>long
repetition is the mother of all learning.
the more often you 'fire' a neuronal circuit, the stronger the bond between those neurons.

If you need to be spoon fed this information like a retard then watch this, it's one hour long:

Being intelligent matters for performing well in STEM. You can't be Forrest Gump and expect to understand category theory. are you fucking knew here?

>> No.11255091

>>11255088
And yet talking about muh IQ, muh memory isn't the same as talking about science or math. Tell me: what do you study?
>are you fucking knew here?
no lmao. waste of digits.

that's pretty cringe if you're the guy who told OP to take drugs, btw tbqh

Memory solely doesn't make a person proficient in STEM. Memory type activities are best suited for retards who need to repeat 1-2 tasks over and over again. In STEM fields you need a deep understanding of the subject matter to perform well. ex. if a doc just remembers X, Y, Z then more times than not they'll fail. Now, if a doc truly understands a problem presented to them and knows how to apply their knowledge in a novel and useful way - then they have a better chance at performing well in their task.

>Muh IQ
Why do you hate it so much? It seems like you're projecting your insecurities by dismissing its significance or existence.

Stimulants also increase short term concentration so offering drugs as a solution is not wrong - it's just not the most right answer.

People go to Reddit nofap not for cognitive benefits. They go there because they think it will get them laid. They have no desire to retain semen, just change the vessel of which it is deposited.

Semen retention has been practiced by philosophers and scientists for thousands of years and is much older than le nofap.

There's no research I can find making a correlation between concentration/focus and masturbation. A lot of people assume that because no research exists there isn't a correlation. Clearly, it hasn't been measured yet to be disproven.

If anyone has peer-reviewed articles on the topic, I'd be happy to read.

1. No, in fact, IQ doesn't interest me that much.
B) Stop asking questions you don't want to know the answer to.
iii, Open another tab other than /sci/ and learn without bias.
