"Sociologists Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa presented data showing that, over their first two years of college, students typically improve their skills in critical thinking, complex reasoning and writing by less than a fifth of a standard deviation."https://quillette.com/2018/11/23/the-case-for-dropping-out-of-college/ …
But that's like 2 WHOLE IQ POINTS for just $100k.... Oh wait a cup of coffee increases effective IQ by about 5 points.

Geoffrey make a strong case for charging 250k for a cup of coffee.

Be careful putting ideas like this out there. If the market could, it would exploit in this way.

IQ raising programs have a remarkably low effectiveness. Nootropics (caffeine etc.) seem to act mostly through increasing alertness. If regular sleep, exercise, and 'positive' stress accomplishes the same, are nootropic benefits negligible for those with already good life habits?
-
And the obvious follow-up, do college students perform well because their brains are still growing and college is a relatively low stress environment where most get lots of sleep and good medical care, etc? --So they can go to high alertness more easily?

Measured on real IQ tests? I love coffee, but 5 IQ points seems a lot. I'd love to see the research of that. I mean, if that were the case, companies that don't give out free coffee are insane.
