The Best Intelligence Hack

Serge's article does not mention the most clinically efficacious way to boost intelligence broadly: Dual N-back brain training.

A 2017 meta-analysis analyzed 33 published dual n-back experiments from independent labs worldwide. It definitively showed that dual n-back training significantly increases the broad abilities underlying IQ, including fluid intelligence (Gf), working memory, both verbal and spatial (WM), and attention control (cognitive control).

Having tried over 200 different Nootropics and smart drugs (along with almost every weird and wacky personal growth thing you've heard of), take it from me: Dual N-Back training is the low-hanging-intelligence-hacking fruit.
