Absolutely essential reading for any 150+ IQ person in 2025: https://t.co/te60GmrU4r





@BronskiJoseph I don't read these because they're boring. But more than that, I'd rather have my own unique thoughts and see the world differently than 150+ IQ people.Like... everyone is reading Nick Land? I'd rather read Sadie Plant.

@BronskiJoseph I like books. I'm learning how to eat them. Did you know someone figured out that non-westerners have gut bacteria that can digest cellulose? https://t.co/3k1QXlgKby

I consume information like I eat books.Pica makes me crave paper and glue.it goes away if I eat vellum.I think animal collagen ferments into butyrate & heals intestinal inflammation -> reduces pica.Irony is that everyone eats woodpulp based celluose.https://t.co/YkciIotul2

@BronskiJoseph My belief is we can modulate IQ thru gut health. I say this having recovered from Multiple Sclerosis, a condition that has been measured to drop people's IQ by 10/20 pts.Just being able to use gut stuff to act on cortical thinning ought to be able to improve thinkingf ability.

@BronskiJoseph Talking about the books you read to signal your IQ is funny. I talk about how I don't read them to signal my IQ.https://t.co/iTFH5ghudo

@BronskiJoseph I'm almost 40 years old and my reaction times are going up. I had Olympic sprinter level timing in my youth and currently am better at those than I was in my youth. I'm the kind of gamer who's performance increases as monitor hz goes up, which tends to be only in elite players.

@BronskiJoseph If you wanna IQ signal, talk about books you don't need to read. Or ones that you read entirely because they're considered experts in a field and you think they're wrong. It's way more impressive.https://t.co/RQxYoWeIYg

I picked up to read Zero to One in the bookstore yesterday and saw that Theil had made the same inferences on the likely-hood of how the memetic content of a boomer's upbringing could bias the reasoning of people in discounting the power of planning vs chance.

@BronskiJoseph I spend a lot of time figuring out how smart people like you think and predicting how you gather information... because I believe it allows me to outperform you because I find things you miss.https://t.co/7WFSkhPPey

@BronskiJoseph If you want to expand the frontier, you have to find things that no one else has thought before. This means ignoring the herd. https://t.co/OYYjMavqxY
