It's interesting to see that others are having the same experience. I have been thinking that there must be a reason for the increased processing ability, and that it might be very important.
Obviously the speed at which the world interacts has been increasing exponentially for the last few decades, but the average human's intelligence has arguably been decreasing. I feel like the decrease is largely manufactured, in that our society has so much useless "content" to occupy people's time, that they don't have the inclination to think about grand ideas or injustices or just why things are f@#ked up in the world.
I feel like "daydreaming" (for me at least) is the key to increased mental capacity.
So, to all of you evolving hyper-intelligent beings out there, keep your eyes and your mind's eye open. It may be very important.  |
I think it's fair to say that I am a much different person than I was a year or even four years ago. I attribute this to an increase in better decision-making and clearer thinking. I don't watch TV or play video games much anymore. I don't shop for useless junk and I certainly don't eat out at junk food restaurants much anymore.
I'm pretty disturbed by how fast time is and when you work a 3rd shift job, it seems even faster because I spend 2 hours working on one night and another 6 hours working the next morning so the time passes much faster.
But I do agree that we all have noticed improved thought processing and other increased mental capabilities. I would have never have heard about Projects Camelot or Avalon if it hadn't been for an older friend of mine and I've been coming here since.
One thing that I have improved at is planning out my day and chores/tasks. When I can plan out stuff in my head, I can work more efficiently and get more done. I normally have a very hard time doing that (some kind of mental roadblock).
