Jesus anon, why only stop at humans then
why cant chimps have 200+ IQ
why not silver backs?
Why bears?
or lions?
or dogs?
or fucking goats!?!
Jesus christ
if this is honestly your view of concious intelligence
that genetics dont play a role at all and it is litterally purely a combination of free will and enviroment what the fuck differentiates us from chimpanzees and guerrillas
oh right
ARE FUCKING GENETICS!

>Meanwhile, OP has created a false scientific "point of contention" by strawmanning his own narrative in order to spread racism.
What a god damn dastardly plan of mine
when all it takes is a well places argument to spread my "evil vile racist ideas to everyone's mind"
its almost as if i have the benefit of arguing from a legitimate scientifically defendable position while my opponents do not.
>Mods need to do their fucking job.

Aww thanks anon
but know this board?
ill probably have a lifetime ban after this lol

>correct, but unfortunately, since we can't define it, we can't tell who has it and who doesn't.
Anon to say we know nothing about in intelligence and even its genetic basis is a bit disingenuous to the fields of evolutionary psychology and even biology itself
we know for instance that it requires conciousness
a state that emerges from the ability to choose based on multiple stimulous and instincts
we also know that it IS inherently genetic
as are brains developed over milenia and we can track their progression through archeology
we also know that some people are able to proform more complex tasks then others.
this is a pretty braud definition of intelligence but it should be sufficient for us to begin catagorizing it
admittedly we are standing on the brink of this field and have yet to dip our toes into the possible discoveries
(a state i might add that has much to with most of the scientific community not wanting to touch human genetic intelligence) 1/2

'Anyone who wants to know the human psyche will learn next to nothing from experimental psychology. He would be better advised to abandon exact science, put away his scholar's gown, bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart through the world. There, in the horrors of prisons, lunatic asylums and hospitals, in drab suburban pubs, in brothels and gambling-hells, in the salons of the elegant, the Stock Exchanges, socialist meetings, churches, revivalist gatherings and ecstatic sects, through love and hate, through the experience of passion in every form in his own body, he would reap richer stores of knowledge than text-books a foot thick could give him, and he will know how to doctor the sick with a real knowledge of the human soul. '

What's /sci/'s take on this?

Technically, is it possible to enhance cognition by making repressed memories, complexes and parts of the psyche enter the conscious realm (that is, not repressing them at all and achieving a total unity of the psyche and resolution of various complexes)?

It seems to make sense not only from psychologic, but also from a neuroscientific point of view: neural networks which encoded the newly resolved complexes and now conscious memories could be used more often for other cognitive tasks since they're no longer repressed.

Just imaging accepting and making conscious every morally unacceptable or otherwise taboo thought or memory or complex. Wouldn't that lead to more space for thinking and make your psyche more unified?
