Deadass just read and give a shit. Giving a shit might seem lame rn but the mf’s that are passionate abt their future & their career are the cool ones. Not because their breadwinners, they just won in life g. “Smarts” is a choice. “Expertise” is a grind.

I’m not sure what you mean by smarter but here are just some random stuff you could do 1. Read more books and search up words you dont know 2.Crosswords or any puzzles 3.Quick maths games 4. Any game that involves 3d shapes 5. Trivia

Listen to long for content. Podcasts. Start with things you’re interested in and let it evolve. But biggest thing is avoiding shorts. If it’s common sense you’re seeking I’d go after history or modern events. Some current events are funny and you can watch reactions to modern day criminals ( I like true crime) Also books. But that’s not something some people can just jump into

Pa the very fact you feel dumb indicates you’re actually smarter than you think. Stats show people who are dumb are so dumb they don’t know they are dumb. So you may be better off than even you think :)

These are just things to get your brain nice and working It takes a lot to be stupid, sometimes you just need to find what you’re good at. Someone might not be be good at literature or arguing but they could probably be good at architecture, design, physics or whatever Dont be too hard on yourself
