Does Walking Fast Mean You’re More Intelligent
Why do you naturally walk significantly faster than everyone else?
Getting intensely annoyed when people walk slow in front of you.
If you get stuck behind a slow walker, you feel like you are physically going to
explode. You might think you are just impatient, aggressive,
or have bad
anxiety. But neurologists discovered that this fast walking pace is
actually a biological marker of a highly advanced brain, and the scientific reason
for your frustration is far deeper than you think.
Average people have brains that process reality at a very slow clock
speed.
Their minds take twice as long to analyze their surroundings, so their physical
body naturally moves in slow motion.
But highly intelligent brains operate completely differently.
Your prefrontal cortex operates on an extreme biological refresh rate.
Your mind is constantly running massive background simulations, calculating
every trajectory ten steps ahead because your internal processors are operating
at maximum velocity. Walking at an average pace literally
starves your
high-speed brain of stimulation, so your nervous system forcefully
accelerates your
body just to keep up with the extreme speed of your own thoughts.
So you aren't actually impatient or rude.
You are just running a high-speed operating system in a world stuck on
thirty
frames per second.
