This is incredibly silly, but will be wildly successful.
I saw an online ad for a service to help you train your brain. Like the NSA doesn’t have enough insights into us yet? You play “games” and the service trains your brain for only $14.95 a month.
Why do I think this will be wildly successful?
1) People now believe the wing is the best part of the chicken
2) People obsess about their credit score and pay to manipulate it
3) Candy Crush
4) More interesting than talk radio
I’m certain Roy Masters would love to be a consultant for them. He’s got a solid handle on mind training through self hypnosis
Does this ‘service’ train your brain to open your mind to the realization that the Establishment, aka US government, is the enemy of freedom, liberty and pursuit of happiness? If so, I already get that service anytime the TV is turned on.
The 2nd daily email to me to get me to sign up is one of the “skills” – presenting the words for a color in the wrong color and training your brain to break the relationship between words and their meaning.

It didn’t take long to prove that my concern was right.
Yep.
There’s nothing like getting useful idiots to pay for their own ‘re-education’.
It seems to demonstrate the difference between intellect and common sense. Lumosity may well train your brain and enhance intellect, but common sense should indicate that $14.95 a month ($189/year) is highway robbery for such a service.

The more I play Candy Crush, the better I get at playing Candy Crush. I am not learning anything.
Lumosity points to its own research where cancer victims recover brain function using their “games”. There was no control group in the study showing any difference when compared to alternative activities or doing nothing other than the normal recovery from treatment of a disease.
I’ll trade you some of my SRG points for those 10 lumosity points.
Someone should set up a virtual trading exchange. I wonder what the lumosity point to ruble exchange rate is?
There are ways to ‘train’ or rather ‘inform’ your brain for less than $14.95 a month. I could point you in the right direction for $9.9999999999 a month. Payable in gold/silver coins.

I seem to be winning the contest of wills.
