Comment on Assuming a button that, every time you push it, your intelligence goes up. The obvious and sane thing to do is to push the button all day. Yes? No? Maybe? Is there something that I'm missing here?

You’re expending resources for greater intelligence with diminishing returns. At some point you’re killing yourself, so hopefully you’ll acquire enough intelligence to end the button cycle.

    Well ya. Of course you’d still have to pay the bills and such. So you’d do some kind of optimized button-pushing lifestyle.
