Suspicion: A Stupid Brain is a Happy Brain!

Posted by Dwight on June 12, 2000, at 22:33:26

To All:

I'm tempted to make a sweeping generalization: that intelligence and happiness are inversely related. But let me share my experience in particular and you guys can tell me if you've had similar experiences. I have noticed that when I'm at my smartest, when I'm thinking the fastest and the most clearly, I'm also feel uncomfortable, nervous, and cannot relate well to people. I have the game ThinkFast which is a good measure of one's mental acuity on a day to basis and when would recommend it to anyone. When I take adderal I perform better on Thinkfast--I'm at the Brainmaster level. I also meditate regularly with the CD's produced by Centerpointe.com--which I also recommend highly. When I meditate, play ThinkFast, take the adderal, etc., I am at my mentally best. I am FAST. Yet when I'm like this I cannot carry on a conversation. If, on the other hand, I take klonipan and neurontin, I can talk to people for hours, intimately, confidently--but I become stupid. I can't remember things. And my thinkfast scores go down. It's a no win situation. I feel like I'm either smart and alone or studid and social. Sociability, it seems to me, is correlated with slow thinking. Alcohol works the same way. Does anyone else feel caught in this dillema?
