“The test of first-order intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in the mind at the same time and still maintain the capacity to function.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald, 1936.

The elements we use to determine the variability of human intelligence are unsustainable from a neuroscientific point of view! The great challenge of neuroscience to date is to determine the basic parameters of a healthy brain. Many thinkers, in this case, associate science with a form of belief, always subject to being questioned and invalidated at the next moment. Some even relate science as a form of belief, roughly the same as religion. Based on the above, and returning to point zero of reasoning, taking medicine is a complex cycle that does not allow the brain to forget its millions of years of evolution in the struggle for survival that brought us here. Therefore, invariably, we will always, eventually, forget to take our daily medicine. A proposed solution based on the simplification of this complexity: we think of the medicine as any other pill, without needing to know what it is or why. Of course, after a process of acceptance of the treatment duly certified and validated by the doctor. This abstraction is based on the concept of Zero Knowledge. Now we only have little jars that we need to consume at certain times (morning, afternoon, and night). The trick is to remember the method: I haven't taken it out of the drawer yet! Or, with the label turned upside down, or even with the jar turned upside down! Memorization record holders use these techniques, without actually changing reality. Another example is a genius who very quickly remembers all the pages of a magazine he read. Using a visual image of, for example, an inverted helicopter flying over a snowy mountain. This abstraction of the absurd allows your brain to make the same internal markings that normal people, like us, do in reality, by turning the medicine jar upside down. The first challenge: never forget to take your medicine again. Second challenge: Simplify this complex activity as much as possible in your brain. (Hint: How can I know that an activity is complex in my brain? When I forget!) Third challenge: Use mental abstraction techniques to signal to your brain, without the need to change physical reality. This is why it is so important to forget to free our brains to think about effectively solving essential and complex problems!
