Can You Hack IQ? Anabology's Bold Experiment 🧠- Anabology
In this episode of the Patchwork podcast, Anabology, an anonymous scientist and PhD dropout, discusses his unconventional perspectives on diet, metabolism, and intelligence. The conversation explores his honey diet, theories of IQ, sensory processing, and potential interventions for cognitive enhancement, including neurofeedback and TMS. The hosts and Anabology delve into the complexities of intelligence, the impact of sensory data on brain function, and the challenges of researching these topics in a politically sensitive environment.
