I am trying to formulate these questions for some time.
How does someone get stronger , smarter and more efficient at what he is doing ?
How does someone get dumber , weaker , and less efficient what he is doing ?
How wakefulness change ?
Why do we have pleasure , and we get less pleasure as we dig in more ?
What is natural cycle of getting better ?
My guess is
1) Something attracts you - you want to have it -you wake up - focus on getting it -
1-a) you use brute force and fail - and rest - get stronger - use brute force again until you get it (you get stronger) ...
1-b) you try to get it without getting exhausted - you read, learn efficient methods (in other words prepare and practice) for getting it - you fail , rest and prepare harder (you get more intelligent at getting it - crystallized intelligence ).
1-c) if the obstacles change dynamically , you try to understand the phenomena to predict what will happen - you fail - you rest - you try again untill you predict correctly (you get wiser)
1-d) you try to get it by instantly forcing a solution in a very limited setting (conditions and time) - you fail - you try harder to combine things at your disposal in a practical manner until you get it (you get more intelligent generally - fluid intelligence)
1-e) You perform a combination of 1-a to 1-d in different ratios (you get better - stronger in many aspects)
Where does nootropics stand at this picture ? What if my environment and my goals limit my capacity to grow out of them ?
Is it possible that someone needing nootropics are fighting for lost causes, or trying to accomplish something unrewarding (during entire process) or not motivating enough ? Just plain bitter to chew bad for teeth kind of thing ...
Please elaborate on these questions... I really want to be informed about what forum users think about the significance and permanency of nootropics.
Thank you and I am sorry if my English is bad.
