I received a PM asking me about my post and experience. I'll share my response with the thread:
Multitasking of any kind lowers IQ. Watching TV while doing nails, chatting online with multiple chat boxes, while making dinner, talking on the phone while driving, etc. Intelligence is something that has to be maintained. It is not so much a matter of inducing vapidity, and it is preventing intelligence. It is like trying to become physically weak; just avoid using the muscles.
One becomes intelligent with focus and stillness. As meditation enhances intelligence, creating conditions antithetical to meditation is most effective in driving down IQ points. It seems the mind has a self-preservation faculty which can be observed in the form of irritation or intolerance towards such mayhem, but this lessens as the effect takes hold. Consider Cosmo Magazine and how noisy the layout is. It is full of symbols and various sizes of font, which serve to bombard and assault the mind, driving it down into submission.
If you are susceptible to 'confusion inductions', I would recommend those since other kinds of induction involve brain enhancing focus. I also found the "psychic driving" technique to be most effective, which involves using looped files with simple repetitive messages played into earphones for as much of the day as possible, and even in one's sleep. For psychic driving, it is best if the file can be phased out of one's attention, and some files are better for this, less demanding or inciting. Personally, I found a lot of benefit from the Bimbo Sigil at hypnoticwishes.com. I recommend avoiding silence at all costs, and always seek something to distract by carrying an ipod or magazine at all times. Mantras are also good, especially if one incorporates them with multitasking. Slut, brain drain, and robot files also seem to compliment the bimbo effort. Basically, long hypno files set up the framework, and high exposure to short loops drive the affect in deeper.
It's hard to appraise the amount of time it takes, and to what degree it is effective, but my initial course was about two months and I had to stop for practical reasons. Going in as deep as I did then (couple years ago) now allows me to access that state much quicker, taking only about a day for it to become natural/instinctive, and about three days to noticeably change. There are good reasons it is hard to appraise the effect, so my advice is to not jump to any discouraging conclusions and just have fun with the effort.
