[@Sciencerely]

Being a stem cell biologist I can say that the definition of intelligence becomes more and more relevant in my field of research. Some years ago, protocols for the generation of so-called "brain organoids" have been developed. We usually make brain organoids from stem cells (which can be made from skin cells) and you can think of them as "petri dish brains" to some degree. Brain organoids form structures similar to the developing brain and they even can cause contraction in muscle cells. However, they are very unstructured and not considered as being conscious (I recently made a video about brain organoids!). In the nearer future, however, lab-grown intelligence might be a thing

[@lostbutfreesoul]

Thank you for posting here, as I shall go look at your channel. I already know of organoids but only as a laymen, so it fascinated me to have an expert explain more.

That's cool and all but gru is the most powerful being in the universe.First according to the height of a Minion (which is 3.5 feet on average) Gru is 4 minions tall, which means he is a godly size of 14 feet tall. Second if any of you remember the original Despicable Me, you Know there is a scene when Vector kidnaps the three girls and shoots a series of heat-seeking misses at Gru, he then dodge them all. According to the speed of an average ballistic missile (1900 mph) and the size of the missile according to his ankle size, Gru can perceive and move at such a speed that the missiles only move 9.5 miles per hour, 0.5% of their original speed. Plus after this Gru punches a shark and it is paralyzed meaning its spine is probably shattered, to remind you it would require a force greater than 3,000 newtons to fracture the spine. That’s equal to the impact created by a 500-pound car crashing into a wall at 30 miles per hour. I rest my case.

[@g_g...]

[@2ndintelligentWorld]

@@g_g... Oops, I didn't reply to the other person... I watched this over a yr ago but I'll do my best to remember my thoughts. This video was a very good answer if an alien came down and asked us what intelligence was. It's also a good history of intelligence but we're not really learning much from it as humans. What a lot of people don't know is that intelligence is a human construct - something we use to convey an idea that's not tangible- and it doesn't really exist. The definition of intelligence has always been a controversy because the human brain is too complicated for us to clearly define yet. For example, IQ used to be a single factor to measure overall intelligence but ppl started noticing that high IQ doesn't mean someone's necessarily "smart," so they came up with EQ and together they respectively measured, more or less, "logical ability" and "emotional quotient." They're still widely used but judging one's intelligence solely based on IQ and EQ would be dismissing countless aspects of it. Every single theory try to categorize every aspect of it (logical, linguistic, spatial, etc.) but that's impossible as these "traits" are more of a spectrum than a single concept. If it were up to me, I think I would've explained that we can never define intelligence until we understand our brain completely which I don't think is possible for a veryyyy long time. And then I would've talked about the prominent existing theories (gardner, g factor, etc.), and end it with some moral message about the misuse of any kind of intelligence tests (to provide some context, IQ testing was one of the major factor for why the holocaust happened).

Intelligence as thoughts is a tool, it is nothing to venerate or be proud of. Intelligence is matter contrasted with consciousness. The fungus or slime that grows intelligently is proof of the limit of this approach, this can only happen if you realize intelligence is related to consciousness, and consciousness is not matter. Wave particle duality and behaiour of electrons suggest this. the fungus has no memory and awareness and self but it exhibits just that. It also completely ignores the role emotions play in cognition. This has to do with awareness, Awareness of thoughts is something to be proud of, not thoughts. The value system underlying this video is that intelligence serves survival. This video is what Jiddu Krishnamurti means (1981 Amsterdam) when he says philosophers and scientists contribute to the problem. It also simply assumes that competition is something natural and good. Competition is a mistake (David Bohm). Creativity presented as a part of intelligence as well as the utilitarian, functional approach is unfortunate. Where does humor fit in here, compassion, forgiveness, consciousness. I found it disheartening and depressing.

schools teach stuff we probably wont need, there is minimal incentive to do well in schools besides getting the end grades. they measure intelligence by testing our ability to learn and adapt to new and more complex things, the problem is, again, no real incentive. its a heavily flawed system. the vast majority of “experts” had an interest outside of school, taught themselves and/or learnt from experience, things schools dont test for.

Our fluid intelligence make us solve problems and possess abstract, social and cognitive intelligence or crystal intelligence.
