Nope not thinking about any question. Just floating some sarcasm Simply put, all one needs to grow his/her brain is to do unique, random, different, and ridiculous things as often as possible. (like adding mods when it dosen't make sense) One hour of increased brain activity via thinking a lot or experiencing new stimuli can make you smarter, more energetic, more creative, and more sociable, and less dogmatic.

Or While waiting (in line at the bank, a coffee shop, a restaurant, the grocery store, or waiting for someone to pick you up, or a show on TV to start), ponder things, calculate, memorize how many useless mods one could do to his SAV. You can, for example, memorize digits of Pi (you can get to 50 in a matter of hours, 200 in a matter of weeks), try to remember all of your high school teachers' names, memorize Prime Numbers, get fast at reciting the alphabet backwards, the Greek alphabet (forwards and backwards), remember as many movies that Tom Cruise has been in, try Doubling numbers, start at 1, to 2, to 4, to 8, till you get to larger numbers than you can handle.

Or Take unusual classes. Find a community college near you, pick up a catalog, and open your mind to learning things like Art History, Underwater Basketweaving, First Aid training, or Business Ethics. My local university offers many easy survey courses with no prerequisites, such as Vampires and Werewolves, Meteorology, Nutrition, Japanese Pop Culture, etc. How awesome would it be to know basic Meteorology? Learn different languages (Esperanto, Japanese, French, Arabic, Italian, Navajo, etc.) especially those with roots very different from your own (most Asian languages, for example, will challenge you to use tones to distinguish words - a skill not required by the Romance languages). All translated into the different ways one could explain useless mods done to the SAV.

Watch movies in genres that you normally don't partake in, such as Cyberpunk, scary, Anime, documentaries, stand up comedy (Eddie Izzard, Dane Cook, Mitch Hedberg). IMDb is a great site to look for movies that other people enjoy. They break them down by genre as well. Remember to be open-minded about things you don't know about.
