Question: You are offered a Brain Pill...
You are offered a Brain Pill. If you swallow this pill, you will become 10 percent more intelligent then you currently are. You will be more adept at reading comprehension, logic, and critical thinking. However, to all other people you know (and to all future people you meet), you will seem 20 percent less intelligent. In other words you will immeditely become smarter, but the rest of the world will perceive you as dumber (and there is no way you can ever alter the universality of that perception).
Do you take this pill?
yes/no why?
