Study philosophy for fun and computer engineering as a degree. Last IQ test I took I felt I did disproportionately well due to my CE degree, IQ tests for adults are abhorrent, how can it be a fair representation of intelligence if certain degree holders are going to perform better? Not even EE or CivE or ME, just CE which has a bunch of hard logic courses.

Use the dictionary. Try to learn a bunch of new words and concepts by encountering them through reading. When you see them again you'll be able to follow the conversation/passage/speech better.
Vocabulary size is a considered a reliable proxy for IQ. Even though it won't raise your raw intelligence level, you will be able to conceptualize and understand complex arguments faster than you would if you didn't even recognize the concepts/words. It's likes the successive stages learning another language. The are always stages of fluency in English higher than the one you're one.

Look in the mirror until you are conscious of what you are really looking at. You'll feel it eventualy. Feel the parts of your brain when you realize your humanity. Think about death, and that mirror image, along with your conscious mind disappearing.

Once you've done that, remember it whenever you're learning something.

smart as a person?

Read a lot, it doenst even need to be important stuff. Fiction also works up the mind.

Question everything, why people do what they do, why things work like they do.

Master basic logic. I really not sure how, but the world has many patterns, and by logic and patience you can understand what was confusing before.

If you mean in a academic level, master everything you learned in high school.

With high school knowledge mastered, you can understand a LOT of advanced stuff with deduction and simple explanations alone.

There are hundreds of videos in the internet covering every single detail of what you learn in high school.

Consume everything. Read peer reviewed journals during the day and /pol/ at night. Don't just get news media from sources you agree with, find sites that don't line up with your beliefs and read that, because the more you know about anything the easier it is to dismantle. Watch pop culture reality bullshit if you want, but be sure to supplement with documentaries. If you don't see yourself benefitting from an activity, relationship, or setting, leave and move on to the next one.

Smoke weed errrrrreday.

But seriously, I recommend reading books from a large range of topics. Some of my favorite subjects are history, philosophy, psychology, sociology. I also enjoy books that take an idea and run with it, essentially mapping out how that idea influences people, places, things, or other ideas. Reading from a large variety of books will make you knowledgeable, however, critically analyzing ideas will make you smarter.

Read. Reading will often enhance your vocabulary and the way you speak in general. And don't be afraid to read material that falls outside your comfort zone. Also watch documentaries if you want to learn but don't enjoy reading.

If you want to become smart there are excercises to perform.
Memory excercises is the best thing to start with, since it it's what most people struggle with and it allows you to better comprehend everything you're dealing with.
Next is to actually get your physical health up, so you do have energy to actually think about stuff.

After that it's mostly just methodology and knowledge.

You can't get smarter, but you can get better at performing mental tasks. Intelligence is the ability to acquire and use novel information.

Higher IQ just means you learn more quickly. A person of less than average intelligence given infinite time could learn anything.

Best thing to do is specialize. By limiting your area of focus it allows you to learn a subject more thoroughly.

Never be afraid to admit to ignorance if something is outside your scope of knowledge and be prepared to learn from those that do know whatever it is you're interested in.

You can't. If you're dumb, you're dumb, learn to live with it. Dumb people can't make themselves smart, they can try to act smart and probably fool a lot of people, but they'll still be dumb. Short people can't be tall, dumb people can't be smart. It's the way of the world. You just have to learn how to make the most of what your born with.

1) Obviously read more. Once you get good at reading you learn to skim things and save even more time. Yes, details are important, so slow down when you need to.
2) Have an open mind. Don't reject things outright. This doesn't mean be contrarian. It just means be willing to accept that you could be wrong. If someone brings up evidence you can't refute, it's time to go examine that evidence. Be ready to change your mind, or decide by that evidence could be interpreted differently or doesn't fit.
3) Study things like math, statistics, chemistry, programming, physics, etc. You'd be surprised the way how, once your mind has just a small critical mass in each or some of these topics, you'll start making some pretty incredible associations between concepts you thought were unrelated. It also helps you understand any news you hear about government policy, environment, and markets, and sift bullshit from reality.
4) Social intelligence matters. Don't let the nerds tell you it doesn't. You need a good understanding of how "bullshitting" works, how lies are woven, the "art of storytelling." There actually a great deal of wisdom to be found in certain Hollywood films (or even watching shows like Pawn Stars, The Profit, or Shark Tank). Never forget that most people are basically a walking set of delusional beliefs about themselves and the world, and mostly react to their base desires, and this is what makes subliminal mind control possible.
5) Eat a healthy diet. Your brain is never going to work right on processed crap. Start with a Mediterranean diet and go from there. Think high in vegetables, fruits, olive oil, fish, etc.
7) STUDY MATH. This literally affects everything from finance, economics, engineering, to simply measuring and building things. If you don't understand it, or think you can be "smart" without understanding it, you're deluded. You will forever be "smart" and not actuallysmartlike a wall street hedge fund manager.

Never take anyone word as fact. A lot of dumb motherfuckers today use big words and draw out their sentences to seem smarter about certain subjects. Any time someone tells you something that is to be considered a fact, double and triple check the info they gave you online, so you don't look stupid when you try regurgitating the dumbass info they gave you in front of smarter people.

To elaborate on this anon, look for buzzwords when people are trying to convince you of something. If people are using buzzwords instead of arguments then they probably have no idea what they're talking about. Also look for appeals to emotion. Again they probably don't actually have an argument.

/pol/ is pretty stupid, all things considered.

>HOW TO BE SMART WITHOUT EFFORT?
You could be born pretty sharp, but a genius without any knowledge is usually just a failure.

>HOW TO BE SMART WITH EFFORT?
Gather your own data, draw your own opinions, and research everything you find vaguely interesting. If you find nothing interesting, force yourself, but that isn't much of a long term solution.

>HOW TO LOOK SMART WITHOUT EFFORT?
Use proper grammar. Look up remotely relevant shit on google. Talk down to people. People that are actually somewhat bright will see through this pretty fast, but goddamn you can convince a lot of people you're right and smart by simply not taking your opposition seriously.

>HOW TO LOOK SMART WITH EFFORT?
Use information you've previously acquired to bolster your arguments. Evaluate the values being discussed, and logically assess them. On /pol/ especially there is a plague of barely literate people parroting each-other and overwhelming dissenting opinions; think of it as the shouting match of internet arguments. If your arguments are solid, and you don't get reduced to sending smug anime faces to white nationalists online, you're probably not stupid.

>How the fuck do you pay for your bullshit policies?

Read books you agree with and books you disagree with.
Any time you can, go to a local uni and listen to a lecture or two.
Learn the basics of psychology to give the impression of being smart while you do this so you feel better about yourself.
Do logic problems and riddles in your down time while at work to get used to solving problems and excercising your brain.
Always remember that your brain is a muscle and must be treated like such.
