I think it would be one thing to optimise the brain first but quite another to build and strengthen the brain toward particular skills.
From reading, Tesla developed those skills due to his mother making him play imagination games when he was a child, and that hyper development coincided with underdevelopment in other areas. Which is why I think it would be good if the brain were optimised but the user was able to effectively select the areas they would want to develop.
Another reason for my desire for this is that I became unselective when on MLS5G, I was fascinated with all sorts and read randomly, and started learning about 5 different things at once - it didn't really get me far, this may be down to me in particular having problems with ADD.
Drawing from my experience the things that would have been helpful for me, and would I believe be useful going forward in terms of optimising use of the brain
- a degree of selectivity in what you learn would have been very useful to cut off from wanting to learn absolutely everything at once.
- having the capacity to prioritise and integrate, at the deepest levels, the most important information and skills; this is extremely important to help with 'mental bandwidth' issues. For example, simple concepts such as opportunity cost or cost benefit analysis in economics, is incredibly useful if you have the ability to fluidly apply it to general problems, but it doesn't require tremendous amounts of theory and reading to 'get it' and apply it in ways others fail to - there are myriad such mental models which are very low in terms of hard disk space, and make using your mental RAM/conscious calculation is extremely efficient.
- Having an increase in mental bandwidth if possible to coincide with the prioritisation of info, the flow between your deep unconscious which works at phenomenal speed and your teeny tiny conscious which gets quickly clogged with two much information (did I say your? I mean mine, I don't know what everyone elses experience is with this).
- Having the confidence to use and enjoy using information to draw information links quickly in the moment and develop own 'mental models' (such as the economic models I mentioned above) which can be applied very quickly to different problem issues to break them down, and can also be used to quickly frame new information and integrate it deeply.
- (because I explained very inadequately above) care that whilst learning other priorities don't get completely supplanted, health in particular, since it's very easy when the brain is being used a lot to suffer phenomena such as 'ego depletion' or 'decision fatigue' and start falling off on other commitments.
- Ego balancing, and possibly forgiveness, the fact is when you become smarter and start seeing things which others don't see, it's easy to become a bit of an ass. This has consequences for personal development as it's easy to become too smug with your own position and inevitable higher status as a genius and then lose your social interaction/ability to use your smarts for anything useful in personal or societal evolution.

Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
