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.
For learning and understanding the maths, sure. But using mathematics is certainly a lot more complex, and at this point, mathematicians are actually trying to circumvent the rules as it were to arrive at different truths, in ways. Also, I do think there's a difference between knowing and understanding.
But yeah. That's the difference between most "medicaI professionaIs" and ppI like Robert W Malone. As the old adage goes, the wise man knows how little he knows. But the smart man uses what he knows to figure out what he doesn't.
I see it like a waII. Most people walk past thinking nothing of it. These are most of your typical medicaI professionaIs. Whatever is beyond it doesn't matter because they don't bother trying to have a look see. They have places to be and see it as a waste of time. How can they even look if it's too tall?
Then, there are people who are curious, or the ppI who really move technology along. They see there's no ladd er in sight. That's no problem, though. They make one. They see what's over the waII and realize they can save 1hr on their walk and go tell everybody.
But, as persuasive as they make their argument, most people call it ridiculous. If it were so, it'd be on the map they argue and, even if by some chance they're right, it's not like they can easily get over it. Even after making a fIight of s tairs for them to cIimb, they get mocked. Why would they bother cIimbing that if there's a walkway right here?
And that's the difference between a graduate and a thinker.
yea, curiosity is definitely a facet of intelligence. i would also say most medical professionals pursued it due to security, money, prestige, family expectations, etc. and their curiosity ended at the prescribed treatment from their database search. before the internet, they had to at least know enough that their encyclopedia searches didn't take too much time. that's what they're doing when they say "i'll be right back." after learning of your symptoms. most doctors today are basically mechanics working from a manual.

I wouldn't even call it curiousity. I'd just call it the ability to recognize when something doesn't make sense lol.
