It's called Adderall, many high end mathematicians and scientists use it, see Erdos for an example

Can confirm. Adderall dilated my pupils. Anything remotely dopaminergic does, actually. Including GABA sedatives like tulsi and chamomile.

Could you imagine if that was his secret? Just shitloads of stimulants.

[Anonymous No.11596811]

>>11596777
This. But use of Adderall (or similar drugs) is smart, and therefore linked to intelligence. So in a roundabout fashion the answer is yes!

Von Numale wasn't intelligent at all. In fact, go watch his interviews on YouTube... He talks like a retard

Prove it.

He has no accomplishments. Everything listed on his Wikipedia page existed previously and has been rebranded to make it seem like he was responsible.

Antidepressants also dilate pupils

shut up faggoli you're wrong

OP you are correct it's a solid result

>Across three studies we consistently found that baseline pupil size is, in fact, related to cognitive ability. We showed that this relationship could not be explained by differences in mental effort, and that the effect of working memory capacity and fluid intelligence on pupil size persisted even after 23 sessions and taking into account the effect of novelty or familiarity with the environment. We also accounted for potential confounding variables such as; age, ethnicity, and drug substances.

I have a pretty good diet, I eat little sugar and avoid processed, junk foods. Also eat fish a couple times a week

I drink tons of coffee though, like 6 cups a day, and yes, I do feel stressed easily and often

The brain is actually a lightbulb which consumes 30-100 watts of power depending on intelligence. The light produced leaks out the eyes causing dillated pupils when high brainpower is being used. This is the same light that circulates in the nerves of the brain.

i was just curious. pinpoint pupils are usually an effect of opiates. certain foods like wheat, especially glutenrich i believe, and cheese work on the opiod system. high dynorphin levels for example upregulates serotonin transporters creating a disbalance between dynorphine and serotonine. since you drink a lot of coffee you seem to try to compensate. did you try/think switching coffee to green tea? if dynorphins are co responsible for your stress reaction it maybe could help a bit feeling more relaxed. also it binds on the glycine site if your glycine levels are low. you could try combining glycine rich food or take glycine supplement with the green tea. it's low risk, cheap and could possible give you a way for stress reduction. if this makes no sense with your diet nvm.
