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?

Ever heard the saying ignorance is bliss? Being just smarter without an outlet means you’re just going to be focused on… well nothing which is also debilitating. Most people we see as smart are just focused on a specific skillset or aptitude and have spent a lot of their own time honing that. For some people that focus comes easier.

Slamming a button that makes you smarter just means you might be more aware of what you don’t know and how you handle that could be more of a curse than a blessing.
