Question: You are offered a Brain Pill... - GoFuckYourself.com

clixx · 03-07-2008, 03:20 PM

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?

I think you are referring to Beer, cuz when ever I drink it, I instantly become a know-it-all, and my friends all look at me like I am a jackass.

No, because I am allready 30% more intelligent than most people so it serves no purpose.

And how would this keep you from proving that you are in fact smarter, and not dumber? It just makes them perceive it from the start, but you dont say it keeps them from believing that you are smarter than they originally thought.
