Entertaining Your Brain?

Spencer Wilson asks: "I'm constantly told that I have an extremely high intelligence. I always feel like I should know so much more, though. Do you, the Slashdot readers, know of any ways to improve ones brain power? Perhaps books, Web sites, etc., that provide questions that involve ways to increase memory, creativity, mental agility, logic reasoning, intelligence, etc. Are there any diets/exercises that really help?"

Do what lots of smart people do

[Laplace]

Read. Learn. Write. Write. Write. Share what you learn. Formulate new ideas. Discuss them with other people. Prepare to feel stupid. Do the whole process again.

I hate to say it, but people have book smart and they have monkey smart. You may have the former, but it doesn't sound like you have the latter. You may now feel free to exact monkey justice.

The difference between having it and using it

[Cybergrrrrrl]

Many of us have great potential, be it intellectual or otherwise, but the issue is whether we actualize it or not. Most of us don't, and we either get by on our natural inclinations - OR we remain limited by our own inability to get beyond those same inclinations.

I have studied with, and now work for, a human potential program that is great for intelligent people - it gives you the ability to really explore what you know on a deeper level and learn how to critically think - what they DON'T teach you in school....

It's increased my brain capacity greatly, and helped me become more successful in my intellectual endeavors.

I think it's the next logical step in a person's mental evolution. You can keep gathering data and information and increase what you know, but it won't really impact you until you can increase your ability to THINK.
