Alternative intelligence

Post by Gary Childress »

So, has the world been misguided all this time after World War II? Was Hitler actually a great leader? Are scientists more stupid and misguided than Trump supporters? Did God create a talking snake? Is it possible to be intelligent and believe in the QAnon conspiracy? Are there just "alternate" forms of intelligence? :?: :idea:

They say every war game simulation conducted by AI has ended in annihilation of the human race.

So, no. As of yet, there are no alternatives to the wisdom of humans that sustains humans as more than fodder for the machine.

Sadly, the wisdom of humans often fails to measure up to ideological imaginings of what should be.

So very true!

It doesn't seem like it should be so hard to maintain some independent clarity and discernment among all the absurd noise... but I guess we humans tend towards being addicts for whatever 'fix' we need, and then we give ourselves completely to it.

You seem to be mixing together intelligence and truth.

What are the true facts?

How should one process the truth and the lies in order to be considered intelligent?
