Deans' stroke musings: A London School of Economics study of 15,000 adults found that more intelligent people were actually less satisfied with life when they socialised with friends more often — the opposite of what was true for everyone else

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there. Did your doctor somehow miss the recovery protocol that Pedro Bach-y-Rita used to recover fully back in 1958 with only a partial brain?

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

A London School of Economics study of 15,000 adults found that more intelligent people were actually less satisfied with life when they socialised with friends more often — the opposite of what was true for everyone else

Ask your competent? doctor how many social connections you need to endure if in this category to prevent dementia!

NO answer! PURE INCOMPETENCE!

A London School of Economics study of 15,000 adults found that more intelligent people were actually less satisfied with life when they socialised with friends more often — the opposite of what was true for everyone else

A 2016 British Journal of Psychology paper by SMU Professor of Psychology Norman Li and Satoshi Kanazawa of the London School of Economics reanalysed a national US dataset of 15,197 adults aged 18–28. The study found that frequent socialising with friends was positively associated with life satisfaction for most young adults, but the positive association weakened as verbal-intelligence scores rose. Among higher-scoring respondents, the association was reversed, with frequent socialisers reporting slightly lower predicted life satisfaction. The interaction was statistically significant but tiny, with an estimated standardised effect size of minus 0.03. The study measured socialising by how often respondents hung out with friends or talked with them on the telephone for more than five minutes.
