Issue is education. Once upon a time, maybe education meant something. The way I see it, though, is that it's become largely obsolete given that we can all go online and find a university level lecture anywhere, everywhere. Besides. Talking from experience, post secondary education doesn't require much critical thinking outside of maths and physics. If tests didn't have to be written, even (or especially) parrots would excel.
Yeah. Cuz computers know a lot. Kim Peak, too. But you ask either what the best way to change the one bad IightbuIb if the switch is in another room and they would at best be able to tell you what someone else suggested.
This is why IQ isn't a great measurement of intelligence. I think all types of intelligence correlate in some ways, but IQ, at best, measures one's potential to solve math problems. And math and physics only challenge one's ability to solve problems within a given set of rules. Life is more dynamic than that.
Agreed. At least, I agree for memory. I think of memory as a tooI. Some people can remember a lot and that gives them access to many tooIs, some very specific to very specific problems. You can use it for that but is that inteIIigence? Nahh. You're just using what somebody else thought up.
That being said, it is very useful if you have a bunch of crap you can use. It allows for broader problem solving, as you have access to more tooIs. With a little creativity, you can use what you know to figure out something you don't know.
memory is like how big one's hard drive is, but not their processor. of course in most people, the capacities of each correlate in ways a computer's does not. learning/understanding advanced mathematical rules is more than memory, i would say. but again, it's solving a given problem within a given a set of rules. everything is laid out in front of you.
this is weird because i was thinking about what intelligence was a few weeks ago. one of the things i came up with was being able to see and find a solution to a problem/goal that was unknown/unidentified previously, like a revolutionary invention, creation, or charting a unique life path to reach your goals.
This is true. I was in college 10 years ago, and about a third of my profs were woke and brainwashed, a third were inspiring, free-thinkers, and a third were tenured and over the teaching shit, just waiting for their next sabbatical. I now wish I had of taken a trade.
Yeah, man. Many of mine have been either lazy or inept. Only a few have had any interest in teaching something that wasn't inherently propagandous or were just in it for the pay.
Yeah dude, no doubt. That being said, they're not the only ones at fault. I've been through the system myself. How ppI are being raised is most certainly a huge factor.
I'm a little more optimistic in that regard. Bezmenov said it takes roughly 12y to s u b v e r t America. If that's all it takes, surely the reverse is opposite too. And I think it's already happening. While gen z certainly seems quasi retarded, they can be pretty inteIIigent too.

Also, if I may, I think a better definition of intelligence would be simply the ability to adapt to situations using what you have and what you know.
This ^ .

The problem is that colleges and public schools changed their purpose from education to indoctrination.

So true. It's going to take a couple generations to turn things around.
