CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

You're welcome. What if school children are taught using the ideas presented here? What if retirees continue to learn in this manner? It makes a lot of sense.

You can't increase your "intelligence" - that's a vague catchall term. However, you can expand your knowledge base by reading everything you can get your hands on, even subjects you have no interest in. You can read books on reasoning and critical thinking, and you can do puzzles like crosswords and math puzzles.

If you measure your intelligence through an IQ test like many do, you may believe that intelligence can be increased because memory has a lot to do with the tests.

Interesting study, but the interpretations are very questionable. Not something to give too much significance to as there the correlations being drawn between training and intelligence have very little causal support or evidence. While training does cause changes in the brain (everything does) this article ignores what actually happens and tries to draw some loose correlations from the data. This is not a complete dismissal of the study, I just wouldn't get too excited about the implications this article seems to highlight.
