The brain is a muscle. Exercising it will only make it stronger. I need to learn of tactics in strengthening my memory and susceptibility to learning.

It most definitely is NOT a muscle. Also, I'm of the opinion that there is a limit on what it can and can't do depending on the individual.

Assassinated...why?

Nonetheless I will find the answer.

Theoretically, if you can prove it to be true, every method of encryption known to man would become quickly obsolete given the right program/computer (dumbing it down a bit). So Banks, Credit Card info, emails, military communications, could theoretically be compromised easily (relatively speaking).

Most people think it isn't true but no one has proven it yet (and may never).

And can you prove the latter?

Ya i knew what you meant breh, just had to put that out there for any young impressionable minds. And I have no evidence for my theory besides life experiences.

EDIT: Although im sure there are tons of studies out there. Imagine the average Joe studying their whole life in a field and still never producing anything of the likes of the greatest minds this world has seen.

How do I go about doing this? Do I simply start filling my brain with random Wikipedia articles? Start reading the encyclopedia? I mean how do I become someone that is considered intelligent? How do I become a more logical and critical thinker? Please help.

Understand that your inner dialogue and inner eye is an inversion/perversion of your real thoughts. Your thoughts,your truth, is the response/opinion (non verbal/non visual) to your inner speaker.

Another way, your opinion is not the words you hear, rather, it is your response.

Don't take the self-ether too personal. What you said is technically correct according to this book I recently came across...
