Eg’s Philosophy 8 Week Cognitive Ability Program
Preface:
In the modern day, cognitive abilities are completely forgotten. In today's world everything can
be optimized. Your health, Your wealth, almost anything you can think of. Then why do most
people have turtle-like reflexes? Why do some people’s brains function at 0.75x time speed?
Because in the environment they grew up in, it never gave them the ability to help progress their
natural cognitive reflexes.
This may be the case for you.
I also suffered with the same problem, having below average cognitive abilities due never being
put in the situations to help develop them. So I researched online, read books, and ACTIVELY
tried to change my own destiny. So today I bring you an online program, a weightlifting type
program to help progressively overload these abilities.
There are real life exercises you can also do. But since this is a digital age, and a lot of you
guys are lazy bums. This will be SOLELY on how to achieve this by doing online exercises, and
then how to progressively overload your results in order to 10x increase your original results
from day 1.
Here are the following abilities we will be boosting:
Memory
Attention
Reaction Time
Mobility
Logic and Reasoning
Hand Eye Coordination
Perception And Processing
We will be using a human benchmark as it’s the website I used to increase my own cognitive
abilities. Also read the guidelines at the bottom of the doc, for optimal success.
