When I go for a jog these days, I’ve noticed a large amount of increased insight and clarity of thought in recent years. Feels like my IQ goes up a full 5 points.

Not sure if the below effect is setting a lower bar to rise from and it’s basically a wash, or if I’m spending more time accumulating a broad range of things that are more effectively synthesized when the blood is flowing in my brain.

That runners high of clarity is everything, i feel that when i go running!

It’s really amazing. The interesting thing to me is that I get it now more than ever— even though I run shorter distances and with less intensity than I used to.

I’m wondering if it is down to me skimming more information than ever from Nostr and X, which ultimately gives me more information to work with when in that higher functioning mode.

Total speculation and it contradicts what you’re suggesting to some extent, but it’s interesting to me.
