Does visual stimulation boost intelligence ?

Two of the smartest people I know were both people who enjoyed playing fantasy style video games 

I believe there is a correlation between video game playing and iq even though no study has ever been done on it

    Didn't think I'd see you in the other section I frequent. But... Let me put it this way. Think of people who enjoy fantasy and sci-fi in general. And, yes I'm linking them together because while they often explore different themes, they're still pretty much the same thing. Imaginary universes to explore new ideas in or parallel real world issues in. 

    But, back to these people. Whether they're into books, movies, even D&D. Are they still the same kind of person as these gamers? I think it's the themes and different ways of thinking that appeal's to this kind of person more than video games themselves. And I say this as a huge gamer.

    Source(s): Or for a counter point, imagine the kind of person who's entirely focused on military shooters. Sure, there's often overlap with these demographics. I enjoy both. But are you still imagining the same kind of person in general?

    When will the official churches start praying for the false prophet? Orthodox Christian three hand signs are different than Buddhist mudras. Ecumenism = 263 heresies; each heresy leads to hell. Orthodoxy = the only true faith; Roman Catholics tried one cup - one spoon ritual and got sick with Bubonic plague; if heresy enters Orthodox monastery then monks/nuns will get sick with flu/tuberculosis (for instance); Orthodox churches who closed for COVID or had disposable cups/spoons or dipped spoon into alcohol are no longer brides of Christ (now they serve Satan and honor Satan's new COVID religion). Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good. SSN is written as a barcode/QRcode; then it's put into a chip; chip is put into vaccine; chipped people are influenced (by super computers) to receive grey plastic card World Passport with no name on it (but when they stretch their hands to get it, gov't clerk presses secret button to administer the unforgivable green 666 tattoo by isotope rays). If you reject mark of the beast (by hiding within a 10-15 people group according to saints Gabriel Urgebadze and Seraphim of Sarov), then your direct ancestors go to heaven (according to saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov from Ural); forgive me.

    Source(s): First vaccine shuts off your immune system; second vaccine gives you diseases; third vaccine puts your immune system back and it will start fighting the diseases and will cause death. Saint Paisios from Mount Athos said that the devil wants to deceive the rich with freemasonry, poor with communism, and believers with ecumenism. Elpidios Vagianakis said that there will be seven “mark of the beast” vaccines; reject all of them! Documents are from Satan; burn all the documents that you can find. Electronics will be used to track you. Even old broken unplugged 1970 TV set will show the evil flying antichrist using Tesla's ether. Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good; always pray the Jesus prayer or to saints who help right away (like saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov according to whom if you reject mark of the beast, then your direct ancestors go to heaven); forgive me.
  • no i don't,  though i would say a representive number of players for a given genre or type of game coincides with different intellectual capacities...in my opinion on average smarter players ie generally prefer to play more logicially challenging games..on average i'm suggesting, so please don't consider my opinion a hard and fast rule, because that won't be the case

    and it would be very difficult to prove, sales figures tell you nothing about whoever bought the game, but rather than what you suggest ,I do believe there is some link between a players averages intelligence and the type  and or genre of game they prefer..
