Can you correctly define intelligence?

Post by Phil8659 »

If the only thing a mind can do, is process information, then, does it not follow that
Psychology is commensurate with the Principles of Language which are functionally resident in the mind as a Grammar Matrix?

Intelligence refers to multiple functions.

1- pattern recognition
2- processing speed
3- abstract thinking
4- synthesis of patterns
5- perception and incorporation of details

Intelligence is that which enables advantageous adaptation to situations, which is why in the wild a lion can be more intelligent than a human who lacks devices.

LMAO.
The mind is designed to adapt the whole environment to specific purposes. So, you really take a dumb animal to be more intelligent? In your case, tht might be true.

What do you think farming is? Is it not the adaptation of land to specific requirements? Or the making of a candle? You did not get much out of your education. But you are a fine example of unteachable.

The first savage that made a spear to kill a lion for lunch has outsmarted even you.
No matter what they teach you in school, you should have arrived at the fact that humans evolve the environment.

What do you think it means that humans are evolving to have dominion over the Earth? The cusp point in our evolution is when we become aware that it is becoming our job to guide evolution, of everything. And that is why it is impossible for the Bible to have been under human hands to write. It would be a tense error.
