Since I’m using Limitless at the moment I figured I would share a couple of the tools I found today that are helpful for scholarly types. I had been looking for stuff like this for some time, but it is difficult to find good NLP/textual analysis tools out there that are GUI driven and non web based. I prefer not to expose my data to the entire internet.

First useful tool for comparative literary analysis is called WordCruncher.

https://wordcruncher.com/

Although they have a web based version of the tools, I have used it instead for local analysis. You can create your own corpuses by adding text files to a list, and define sections of those text files to search. There are several tutorials available on YouTube for the program.

The most helpful functionality I’ve found is the Phrase Compare report. This allows you to take one or more texts, and compare n-grams within the texts for frequency. These can be arbitrary length n-grams, so for example with n=5 within the King James Bibles as a corpus, it will find phrases such as “love the lord thy god”, “love the lord your god”, “and it came to pass”, “the tabernacle of the congregation”, and so on.

You can download a number of free or paid pre-prepared corpuses from their store for different classical literature, and compare against your own local texts. So this can be helpful for university professors for example in detecting plagiarism, or seeing borrowed phrases that persist across centuries.

There is also a program called AntConc for specially prepared texts which allows you to perform more advanced types of textual analysis:

https://www.laurenceanthony.net/software/antconc/

If you use these tools in conjunction, you can do a lot of very fancy literary analysis, which I am just getting started with. You can copy and paste the n-gram frequency analysis into a program like Excel or Libre-Office for exporting to disk for further analysis, or to create graphs comparing the frequency of words in different texts for pasting into your thesis. This makes it easier to do intertextual analysis without wasting your time setting up a program to get the same results.

I highly recommend these programs, especially WordCruncher (which is free, as is AntConc). Intertextual analysis tools are becoming important nowadays in order to generate data to support conclusions based on novel investigations of old classical texts.

1 cycle results.

IQ up 10 points since last test a few years ago. I guess on paper I’m smart now, so I can’t use that as an excuse anymore. Which is rather annoying because I liked being the resident idiot. I guess I’ll just need to become a respectable man now or something.

Scored low in pattern recognition, which shows me so much about myself and why I’ve made the mistakes that I’ve made, lol.

So yeah, to those wondering if it can make you a “genius”: on paper, with an IQ test, yes it can. However, never forget that intelligence is worthless without application.

I’m hoping in the future if I run limitless and QL that I can finally get my IQ up to at least 76

IQ is kinda overrated.

All the rich guys that I personally know have a fast action personality. They’re actually not that smart. They’re pretty average in fact.

What differentiates them from everybody is that, when they know what to do, they begin immediately and they don’t stop until They finish it.

And because they are not that smart, they run into more problems than usual . But they stubbornly persist until they finish the task, no matter what happens.

I’ve also been guilty of analysis paralysis

I’m slowly trying to become more action oriented. It also helps with better processing of the subs

I think you just described how I see Elon Musk. I’ve watched interviews with the guy and he’s really not that bright. He got incredibly lucky and made some great investments. He didn’t start Tesla , Space X , or PayPal.

Elon’s story is a bit complicated.

He didn’t start PayPal, but his company x.com merged with another company to become paypal

The thing is, he is smart but on his interviews he sounds a bit off. Maybe he needs TS.

he has added tremendous value to all his companies bcz he is essential ceo for all of them

You should check out Elon musk book by Ashlee Vance or maybe this podcast

Overall the dude is a brutal workaholic

#402

I listened to the audio of that. I definitely wouldn’t want to work for him. In that book, it tells of a time when he got upset at a guy for taking the day off to go to his own wedding. That’s disconnected and insane.

I was thinking it would be very interesting to work for one of his companies for 6-12 months, just to get a different perspective. But for long term it is not healthy, doesn’t fit my values.

These people(Musk, Bezos, Gates) are disconnected in many ways. I get how people look up to them, and their drive can be admirable, but ultimately, they likely have various forms of sociopathy, and contribute negatively towards the bad state that the world is in.

Of course . I dont like him because he is insane as a person.

But he is one of the prime movers of the world.

SpaceX has tremendous influence all over the world bcz of his satellite fleet

Heck he has a lot of influence on russian ukraine war, israel war, and even recently in brazil with that dictator. And he is just a businessman

Almost all ships exclusively use starlink for internet in the middle of god knows where in the sea.

And even twitter is improving slowly nowadays

Sure he is unbalanced, a sociopath, etc but you have to think even with all these known traits people still want to be a part of that Mars legacy.

What I do is try to take on that intensity in my everyday life, I wont be a dick, but l wont be too easy going either

#408

We are all flawed in someway you know.

Sure he could have been a better person but with all that power that he has, he has not been too abusive in its usage.

At least in my book thats better than Soros and Gates who actively tries to start crazy shit and even funds those organizations.

But anyway what do i know. I am just an outsider looking from far away

#409

Yeah, exactly. It can be an inspiration for some to focus their attention on what matters to them the most and to keep at it. Unfortunately, with success often comes hero worship, and that distorts people’s perception of people. Nobody can justify the actions of Soros and Kissinger types of people, no matter how people want to spin it.
Anyway, just run Limitless and follow your ideals in life.
