Well, I trust that atleast trying to be smart is better than practicing hard to be dumb, and succeeding at the latter.

[SPOILER-BOX]Hey! Aren't scientists one of the groups of people that once said non-whites were inferior to whites, and that it was OK for the mightier of groups to subdue others? Weren't scientists genetically bastardizing thousands of test subjects in Nazi-Germany & WW2-era Japan in the sake of 'science'? All in all, we humans know very little about the human brain. I would rather think that if we can train monkeys to wear human clothing, sign language, and general math skills, then surely putting a kid in front of GTA for 8 hours a day will produce a psychopath. Then again, I tend to believe in a higher power and not all the propaganda from scientists, politicians, and the businessmen that feed them.[/SPOILER-BOX]

I don't think nobe is a word.

But I'm going to allow it.

[Boogie Troll]

nobe is definitely a word. It was in my signature for a while.

Also Indica and Saner got busy I think.

[Outrider]

I don't think your signature is a credible source.

Outrider is being lenient? Whoa whoa, what's so special today?

[Zarode]

Because I am here.

Brain Age won't make you inherently smarter, but it may improve some neural pathways relating to basic math.

Relative intelligence has more to do with attitude, than genetics. We're all born with basically the same equipment, so it's really just a matter of making proper use of it. If you assume that understanding this is beyond you, then it will always be so. Einstein said it well, when he said, "Question everything." Knowing things is not nearly so important as understanding them, and having the drive to understand things, is vital to improving your intelligence. Hold yourself to a high standard. Don't be satisfied with mere knowledge.

I went to a robot dance party.
