you are retard

Hopefully one of the neuro anons can chime in.

Intelligence seems to be a function of having a complex brain. Chimps exhibit some form of intelligence that can be comparable to humans. My cat is pretty smart/resourceful.

I would say intelligence is being able to use your brain "intelligently" if that makes sense. I am a math major and I can use my brain to solve complex math problems?

Just like an engineer could solve some problem related to his/her discipline... etc.


tl;dr function of the brain

the ability to comprehend

the ability to make quality /sci/ threads. aayyyy lmao.

The meaning of intelligence means to learn and apply knowledge. Humans can learn vocabulary words faster than animals who have been taught to talk.

intelligence measurements are arbitrary, asking a group how or what "intelligence" means is limited by the "intelligence" of the group. ask a survivalist group what it is you get a different answer than asking a group of scientists. intelligent ways of handling zombies vs. intelligent quantum mechanics is a very different thought process and

Intelligence Defined

Simply defined, intelligence is information that has been analyzed and refined so that it is useful to policymakers in making decisions—specifically, decisions about potential threats to our national security.

The FBI and the other organizations that make up the U.S. Intelligence Community use the term "intelligence" in three different ways:

1. Intelligence is a product that consists of information that has been refined to meet the needs of policymakers.
2. Intelligence is also a process through which that information is identified, collected, and analyzed.
3. And intelligence refers to both the individual organizations that shape raw data into a finished intelligence product for the benefit of decision makers and the larger community of these organizations.

An attribute that boosts magic damage.

The answer to this question

I'm a mathematician. A philosophy buddy of mine from college and I like to get drunk and talk about what we think intelligence is. We have came to the conclusion that intelligence is a mixture of the ability to quickly adapt to new situations as they present themselves, and the ability to utilize logic and reason. However, this is simply the opinion of two drunken buddies.

You're not a mathematician.

The brain does much more than recollect. It intercompares, it synthesizes, analyzes. It creates abstractions. A still more glorious dawn awaits!

Intelligence is just the ability of a system to process information.

All these sensible answers that have been given so far are only WAYS that a system can use to process a lot of information.

If we acknowledge this fact, then we can say that any computer program is artificial intelligence. Even the most basic computer programs are intelligent, in Ancient Greece, only "smart people" would be able to do simple arithmetics, now any fucking calculator can. Nowadays super-computers can beat the best chess players of our time.

Obviously, the ability of a given system to process information strongly depends on the way information is presented to it. For example, humans are very good at image processing and at handling concepts and words, but they have a hard time with large numbers. On another hand, computers are good at number crunching but our algorithms for image processing and language comprehension are quite limited for now. We can even push the comparison further and compare humans between them, some humans are better than other at maths, while some have better social skills. Similarly, some computers can deal very well with sound signals when other are better with 3D computation or number crunching.

It all comes down to how a brain, a processor or even an analog circuit can process the information it is given.

But when people we call Asians tend to be as hateful to each other as much as the Nazis were toward the jews, I don't see how one could say that race is not arbitrary, or subjective at least.

You know that pigmentation, such as in the substantia nigra, is present in every individual during development and after birth, regardless of skin colour.

Only a retard would think the diagram was referring to skin colour

So what ? These are correlations, they do not define any kind of classification scheme. Any classification you make will ALWAYS depend on some sort of threshold that will inherently be arbitrary.
