...Err!

Interestingly... I would speculate if there is some "relationship" between intelligence and very right-wing opinions and views. :-)

[excellance] 21/7/2024 11:22

No, the opposite.

Stefan is far right, whatever that means, but to get back to the original point about race and intelligence the woke brigade will come up with all kinds of theories to dismiss the facts, then they complain that they can't explain the facts.

[excellance] 21/7/2024 11:14

Hasn't Stefan been deplatformed and barred from banking services because he isn't woke?

'Fiscal Dominance'.. That's quite a term..
but look a bit further ...


. Ally that concept to a really slack jawed philosophy
(ie - whatever we say is 'True'.. and only 'we' know what is 'True' [Thus FACT]
.. no 'Proof' is required .. and anything else must be 'False'..
therefore 'Un-True' and 'Condemned'.. and it it that way .. because we are soooo 'Nice'... Thus 'Ethical'.. and 'Right'... because we 'Feel' that way .. and 'Feelings are True.. [you bad man] ... here's our Invoice.. )

In the context of 'Political Dominance'.. ie - whatever we say is 'The Law'..
because 'we' are 'Lawmaker' .. so you just do what you're told ..
(and don't forget to pay 'Tribute' to us .. until you have nothing
- you plebeian. - Serf ) .. Now .. pay the 'fine'.. (plus legal fee's) ..

Matched with 'Legal Dominance'.. It is 'written' therefore it is 'True'..
'we' are 'State'... 'we' are a 'Democracy'... you have no say in the matter or the decisions we make ... because you did not 'write' .. the 'Law' .. we did ... Therefore 'we' are the 'Authors'.... 'we are the 'Authority'...
and all the others agree with us ... and if you 'DARE' to disagree with with that ... then you must be an 'Enemy'.. of 'State'...


.. Now ... It is easy to spot the danger .. the threat to Life & Liberty .. etc..

But can anyone spot the problem with all of that ...
The 'Flaw'.. in that great 'Logic' .. ?


.. There're all BUST ...

Re. "Intelligence".. I recall watching an excellent video by Stefan Molyneux a few years ago who claimed that Caucasians typically had a higher IQ than Africans due to the need to plan ahead to store food over the winter (non-growing) period which over the generations selected for higher IQ, compared to those living in tropical climes which would allow food to grow all year round, and the ability to plan ahead conferred little benefits.

But nowadays, with food available 24/7 all year round, there is no longer any need to plan, and most of the population live day to day... It's been recommended that everyone should have at least 3 days or food/water available, or ideally more like 14 days of provisions, although few seem to take heed. Maybe when the "crash" finally hits the preppers will again benefit.

Another of Stefan's claims was that men typically had a wider distribution of IQ scores than women.. i.e. there are more male geniuses than women, but also more morons, whereas women were more tightly grouped around the mean.

I'm guessing that the ability to plan ahead (aka. take deferred benefits) should probably benefit those who take personal financial responsibility, rather than those who simply suck on the government tit, although most gov't policies appear to favour the leeches. Probably deliberately..!

Fiscal Dominance Steers Bankers' Wars



Your political parties are composed of Keynesian communists.

As to intelligence then Einstein and Dirac had it. The abilty to figure out how parts of the universe worked. Original thoughts, just as Richard Feynman had it. Most are condemned to try and survive, never having the chance to extend their thoughts, but this doesn,t mean they don;t have the capability.

Ahh .. you're totally correct pvc ..
It was excellence's post ..
you'd just copied & pasted with the usual pvc - 'quip'..

I Do apologise for mis-attributing the intellectual ability to yourself ..


That was a good observation ex...

So, intelligence is in effect trial and error, compare results, eliminate inferior inputs, try again...

But does it or can it "think" outside of set parameters?

========================================================

The thing is pvc ...

The thing is, k mon, that was excellence's point, not mine!

Sorry to disappoint you yet again. :-)

[k mon] 20/7/2024 15:14

You got that bit right ..

"No, of course not. A1 is limited by its own limitations, it can't look out of the window and dream of a totally novel method. A1 will always be trapped in its own
echo chamber, going round and around..."

- Must be a bit like going to Oxford ... or Parliament ... or even Court..

========================================================

- First .. you have to find the 'Parameters' ..

Then .. (and this is the difficult bit) .. you have to realise that the parameters don't exist ..

WHY .. because a parameter .. usually has an opposing one somewhere ..
but the thing is .. you have to also find that one & then resolve the Dichotomy they present.

-- That's how good I expect you to get ..

Now .. can you stop making such a racket & Keep practicing ..
The great hope is, you might produce something worth listening too

- Well done though for getting so far ... it's not easy is it..

Quite like this thread, then?

LOL!

Human beings are not intelligent. Having been given a special form of awareness,they like a few other animals,are programmed to be curious and adaptable to both positive and negative outcomes of their own behaviour.

If they were intelligent,humans would realise the mayhem their actions can and do cause, but being programed to live in a physical universe of survival of the fittest, they can act no differently,

Maybe AI is inded our future when it is given the the correct tools to work with.

Intelligence is defined in psychology as the ability to learn from and adapt to novel situations and to use that knowledge to create a desired outcome.

[excellance] 20/7/2024 13:26

So the question is, what is intelligence?

There's certainly no sign of it on your posts PVB.

Ai has never had one original thought. -Ai being a series of algorithms?

Question is, peterbarnes: Have you ever had an "original thought"?

BTW. I don't agree that AI is "a series of algorithms"

[excellance] 20/7/2024 10:59

Yeah, but what about the price of gold?
