You can take a pill that will massively increase your intelligence to genius level. After 6 months, however, the pill wears off and you return to your normal intelligence. If you take another pill then you become retarded.

Would you do it? Or is ignorance bliss?

I am already a genius. No pill needed.
What else you got?

>massively increase your intelligence to genius level

This is an impossible pill for me too. But there are many cognitive enhancers out there of varying legitimacy, many of which I've tried and some of which I currently take.

I mean an actual genius. Like Newton or Euler. Not a 4chud "genius".

>>16480102
I'd take a pill that lets me fart at will

>>16480149
you take the pill but you turn into a random brown skinned ethnicity

>>16480145
So do I. What else you got?

>>16480102
I experienced this somewhat with ADD pills, became incredibly effective like my mind had become clear and focused for the first time in my life, but I developed an extreme tolerance and they never worked again. Would not recommend it.

>genius
Can you remember a sequance of images posted every 40th of a second for 5 minutes and repeat them backwards without a mistake?
Can you do calculations with numbers above 10^63 instantly and get them all correct.
Can you learn ancient languages fluently in 6 days?

No?

Oh, I uess youre not a genius lol.
>>
>>16480336
This is hand intellect, not actual intelligence. It's stupid to even try math using 10^63, and to have a go at 'repeating the images you seen in reverse'. Perhaps try posting this in one of the silly IQ threads if you wanna find retards who don't know shit
>>
>>16480336
Do you have anything else?
>>
>>16480145
My IQ is higher than the likely IQ of many famous geniuses and yet I'm nobody and probably never will be somebody. Doubt increasing my intelligence would change that.
Since the first pill has no negative consequences, yes, I'd take the pill just to see how things turn out. Doubt it would do much other than make me more appalled at the world but you never know. Wouldn't take the second pill.
>>
>>16480336
A real genius would patent this pill rather than continue to lie about its existence.
>B-but it's a "thought experiment".
You didn't think this through, did you?
>N-no! Play MY game!!!!!

>>16480336
Are all tranime posters retarded?
Why do I ask, I already know the answer.
>>
>>16480102
Yes. The actual tragedy in _Flowers for Algernon_ is not that the retard is happier when he is retarded. But that he is miserable due to an extremely selfish and narcissistic outlook on life which did not improve when he became intelligent.

For most normal and socially well adjusted people their primary purpose js not their own happiness, but some higher goal greater than themselves (in which they find true happiness). Therefore a 6 month boost to maximise their performance in some field of research contributing to human development, or to improve the condition of their family/loved ones etc., is a great opportunity. And there is zero risk of these people becoming some kind of unhappy pseud. Some mercantilist minded kikes might use oppertunity to grow their personal wealth, I don't judge that strongly either. The point is anyone who has a reasonable outlook on life and their expectations will be perfectly fine going on and off this pill for 6 months and probably won't even go through that cringy midwit edgelord phase like the retard in the novel did.

>Posters who think their online- and/or IQ test taken <21 y.o. represents an accurate estimate of their real IQ in adulthood.
Not OP, but I wanted to point out that being incapable of constructing a hypothetical model is not a sign of high intelligence, but is a sign of being a nigger.

How would you feel if didn't have breakfast this morning?

How would you feel to learn that many people here have been through psychological evaluations that include real IQ tests? Online IQ test are junk but that doesn't somehow magically make them the only IQ tests that anyone has been evaluated by.

I'll take three please

Nothing changes

Life becomes more enjoyable

I'd take ten

The people capable of these things also tend to have a hard time wiping their own asses and are functionally retarded in every other aspect.
