Are you smarter than you think?

Another copy and paste job, but this is an interesting article. Some of these points are easily dismissed, so it makes you think outside the box. Though the last one contradicts the first point.

 

Nine Ways To Become Smarter Than You Think:

1. Spend Significant Chunks of Time Offline

2. Engage in “Cognitive Diversity”: Do Something Mentally Different

3. Don’t Isolate Yourself: Learn Social Thinking

4. Find Your Passion: It Drives Memory and Creativity

5. Don’t Just Follow The “Thought Leaders” Or Elite

6. Know When (And When Not) To Rely On “Outsourced Intelligence”

7. Play Video Games, The Gateway Drug To New Learning 

8. Be Willing To Adapt Your Thinking Strategies

Views on a nuclear Iran

This weekend more talks are underway to try to get some sort of deal with Iran in relation to its nuclear programmes. At the last round France had destroyed the chance of a settlement being reached.

While Iran has not made a concerted effort to produce nuclear warheads, it shouldn't write them off the table too easily.

Iran has a good reason to get a settlement - it (supposedly) stops the US from attacking and the cripling warlike sanctions imposed by the US but (at gunpoint) honoured by the rest of the world may be eased allowing some respite for the people.

However Iran should be wary as history repeats the tale of the nation which gave up something key as part of some grand bargain only for its enemies to destroy it shortly afterwards.
