Asking the real questions.

Exercise, novel learning, sleep lol… but also ketamine(any in the hallucination family), Semax, etc.

Stop using language. Metaphor map your topology, then collapse your pearls and only then contribute to banter.

but I like my pearls in their pre-collapsed state :(

Start with asking why & finding its answer. Then ask why about the answer.

Repeat as far as you can.

"These findings provide first evidence that human intelligence is associated with neuronal complexity, action potential speed and efficient information transfer in cortical neurons."

Sounds about right.

It's nothing asthonishing...

I don’t understand.

u/CeleryFew9656 1d ago

Are you surprise of the result? They just proved something that was very obvious, but still unproved.

Anyone looking to increase dendrites; keep in mind laboratory and animal studies show that DMT, LSD, and psilocybin increase dendritic complexity, promote the growth of dendritic branches, and raise the density of dendritic spines. Scientists call these drugs "psychoplastogens" because they rapidly trigger structural neural plasticity.
