      The rules of the duel are as follows:
      Preferrably, do not bring machine guns, or other such weaponry from the 20th century.
      The duel should end by sunset.
      You are not supposed to shoot when the adversary's back is turned, or when they are unable to respond to your attack.

      @@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).

      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.

      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.

      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 raccoons actually found a bunch of creative way to get the marshmallow. Tipping over the container was probably the worst example from that study; especially since the scientists had fastened the container down so it wasn't trivial to tip over. My favorite was throwing a rock in so it splashed the marshmallow out.

    In my opinion, intelligence is a biomechanism or an ability to make any change. Like Jensen says that we have cognitive abilities and associative abilities which, as in Sternberg's theory, we use as meta component and on the basis of that we use information processing components. Our fluid intelligence make us solve problems and possess abstract, social and cognitive intelligence or crystal intelligence.

    A few years ago, I had a fierce discussion with some friends arguing that memory was an essential part of intelligence but all of them disagreed. They even got mad with me for suggesting that people with lousy memory were not intelligent, which is not what I wanted to say, anyways, I lost some friends that day. I wish I had this video back day to explain my point better. Really good work!

      It started as a thought experiment where you ask yourself a question that many people take for granted “How do you TRULY know the earth isn’t flat?” Unless you have been in space, you would only think it’s not flat because you’ve been told that your whole life. Without other people, you would have no reason to believe it isn’t flat. Then people actually started believing it despite it being the least likely to be true.
