I'm new to the forum and eager to learn and contribute. And while I'm new, I know that I'm going to be spending a lot of time here. I love this stuff. I think this is the most cutting edge forum on the web on all things related to longevity and brain enhancement.
I have a broad theoretical question to pose to the knowledgeable members of this forum. It deals with the efficacy and power of nootropics. So here's the challenge:
As chief nootropic consul to the president of the country, you've been tasked with creating a program that will increase the IQ points of the nations children. You are to give the president a list of supplements and/or drugs that will be distributed across the country for use by all children starting from infancy to early adulthood in whatever dose and interval you see fit. Money is no object. The goal is to increase IQ by a minimum of 20 points.The sole basis of your criteria should be what you believe would be the most effective way to meet this challenge. It is critical that these effects not be short lived, 'flowers for Algernon' drugs, but something that alters the structure of the brain in critical and long lasting ways.
What would be your answer to such a challenge? I'd be very curious to see what kind of nootropic stack you'd recommend for the next generation of children. If so compelled, you could have distinct ones based on a conservative, moderate, and aggressive approach.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts on this.
