I wish there was a way to boost intelligence.

I don't need to go on about the shit in my life, but I realize that most of it could have been solved by now if I was just more intelligent. I have more advantages in terms of my background than most people, but I am just so unintelligent that I haven't really put any of it to good use. I'm just an unintelligent piece of shit.

There is no such thing as inherent intelligence

I think you mean common sense

Yes there is. Intelligence is just a measurement. Some people are quicker thinkers and faster learners than others. Some people are just prone to mistakes, there's a definite inherent intelligence. Case in point - down syndrome. I don't have down syndrome, but I am pretty unintelligent anyways. People don't seem to care, they give all the respect in the world to people with down syndrome.

Even then intelligence is not an inherent trait

How fast and effectively you learn or retain information is
Even then you can train and get better at certain things

And it depends on other things too
Like how much harder someone who is "slower" is willing to work than a quicker person

You're more intelligent now than when you were younger yes?
We were all born on the same level of intelligence

As for Down Syndrome and mental diseases, that's different
I'm fairly certain you don't have any which makes you on the same level as everyone else more or less

So saying you're not smart because of inherent shit is just idiotic

There is. It's called reading a book.

It depends on what you real. For me, I haven't figured out what books would be interesting, so I have generally avoided reading books.

That'd probably be a good place to start then, just pick up the first non-fiction book that takes your eye in your local library.

Nothing exists inherently. Nothing.

Your intelligence is a result and, regardless of what genes you might have received, or what the crap was your mother might have been ingesting when she was pregnant with you, there are still plenty of variables in that equation that are under your control so long as you have the will to put them there.
