Does social isolation lowers intelligence?

can social isolation and low cognitive stimulation make you dumber?
if yes, can this be reversed?

i'm feeling like i'm in a blur, i often find myself searching for the proper word or name to use

Trying to find research/articles and books about the structure of the different parts of the brain and how its related to the functions they are believed to carry out. So what about the hypothalamus structure and composition of cells makes it so suited in controlling hormones etc

Stop being such a fag for artificiality. It's annoying how you turn a blind eye to its dangers

How about this?
If you are so concerned about cyborgs taking over all the jobs because they are much better than poor people, then why not just be a damn brain in a jar?
There, you have a maximum efficiency commanding robots to do your will.
And you will share a singular thoughts with many other brains that would exponentially increase your calculating speed so you will forever be unmatched

And you can also share thoughts with animal brains!
And to continue the existance of the brain in a jar races, simply create clones whose brains shall be extracted and grown before being transferred to the singular metal body.

Is that the future that you want?
Nothing but efficiency?

Value your humanity
If you turned yourself into a robot, then what part of you was not manufactured?

I'm bad at understanding logic and flaws in logical arguments, especially in argumentation and politics (I'm like 99% sure I'm a brainlet.) What field of science/math would help me the best in this area?

So we're talking telepathy?

A bug... maybe nanobots - sounds plausible and an easy workaround. Come to think of it - could have already been done.

"Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Yossarian shouted at her in bewildered, furious protest. "How did you know it was Catch-22? Who the hell told you it was Catch-22?"

"The soldiers with the hard white hats and clubs. The girls were crying. 'Did we do anything wrong?' they said. The men said no and pushed them away out the door with the ends of their clubs. 'Then why are you chasing us out?' the girls said. 'Catch 22,' the men said. All they kept saying was 'Catch-22, Catch-22. What does it mean, Catch 22? What is Catch-22?"

"Didn't they show it to you?" Yossarian demanded, stamping about in anger and distress. "Didn't you even make them read it?"

"They don't have to show us Catch-22," the old woman answered. "The law says they don't have to."

"What law says they don't have to?"

"Catch-22".

We have brains because...Erm...MY PICTURE EXPLAINS!
