It wouldn't be making you "dumber" then, it would simply be making you less creative. I know a lot of brilliant people who are not creative whatsoever. I also know a bunch of very creative people who would normally be considered dumb using common metrics. less creative != dumb
- chrischen 17y agoI was following along johnny's reasoning. I was saying that if by his reasoning adderall makes you smart, then it makes you dumber too. He said there are various components to intelligence. Creativity could be one too. So if focus is one aspect and it is enhanced, and it makes you smart, then creativity, which is hindered makes you dumber. Sorry if I wasn't clear before.

Imagine someone said this: "Hey, I found this new drug. It makes you smarter and less creative." That should be enough to make anyone go, "Huh?"
