intellect ness

Intellect is a term used in studies of the human mind, and refers to the ability of the mind to come to correct conclusions about what is true or false, and about how to solve problems.

what is true/false? is there something deeper than true/false.. that would help us solve problems that matter..? rather than ie: work (solving other people’s problems)

and then too.. wouldn’t have this bent/obsession of telling people what to do

Historically the term comes from the Greek philosophical term nous, which was translated into Latin as intellectus (derived from the verb intelligere, “to understand”, from inter, “between” and legere, “to choose” and into French and then English as intelligence (other than intellect). Intellect is in fact considered as a branch of intelligence (see Intellect vs intelligence).

Discussion of the intellect can be divided into two broad areas. In both of these areas, the terms “intellect” and “intelligence” have continued to be used as related words.

In philosophy, especially in classical and medieval philosophy the intellect or nous is an important subject connected to the question of how humans can know things.

maybe that’s not the point (and not even possible) of humanity.. ie: knowing things

In modern psychology and neuroscience, intelligence and intellect are used as terms describing mental ability (or abilities) that allow people to understand.

perhaps beginning of enclosure/colonialism/abuse.. thinking some abilities could be lacking in order for people to understand/grok enough

ie: then we think some need training .. and we start to impose/assume hierarchical listening

A distinction is sometimes made whereby intellect is considered to be related to “facts” in contrast to intelligence concerning “feelings”. Intellect refers to the cognition and rational mental processes gained through external input rather than internal.

A person who uses intelligence (thought and reason) and critical or analytical reasoning in either a professional or a personal capacity is often referred to as an intellectual.

we’d all do that if we were free to dance

Intellect vs intelligence

Intellect is often considered to be a branch of intelligence reflecting mainly its logical and rational side.

Because of the lack of emotional and sensitive engagement, intellect is sometimes considered to be strictly limited to facts and not going beyond mere raw knowledge. However, intellect can carry a high level of complexity and thus avoid linear and formal logic patterns by referring to such mental processes as, for example, fuzzy logic and dialectical logic.

Intellect and intelligence may be contrasted with reference to etymology.

Intelligence, deriving from the present active participle of Latin intelligere, has a sense of “to gather in between“.

However intellect, deriving from its past participle, has the sense of “what has been gathered“.

Thus intelligence relates to the creation of new categories of understanding based on similarities and differences, while intellect relates to understanding existing categories

perhaps this is a key element (that Doug Englebart maybe saw in choosing title: augmenting human intellect ? vs say collective intelligence).. that intellect ness (what is already there for 8b people) is what we should org around.. rather than the diversity of collective intelligence (what we gather between)

perhaps that’s a stretch.. too much focus on words.. rock or flower is what i’m seeing as critical.. org around the rock (maté basic needs) rather than the flower (interconnectedness; intelligence; health; climate; .. commoning.. undisturbed ecosystem)

perhaps we org like this: 2 convers as infra

Development of intellect

Experience plays a crucial role in the formation of intellect. Through solving life problems people can reach intellectual enlightenment and improve their behavioral patterns to act more reasonably and appropriately in the future.

in the city.. as the day..

Therefore, intellectual development is encouraged by the feeling of dissatisfaction gained from particular situation’s outcome and the emanating search for better solutions.

red flag we’re doing it wrong.. if have to start with dissatisfaction..

let’s start with 8b daily curiosities

Only experience can provide people with genuine and thoughtful understanding of reality, which consequently contributes to intellectual development.

Intellect that reaches its maturity is referred as self-management. At this state intellect can encounter every problem it faces and not only change itself in the most efficient manner, but also alter the reality in the most desirable way.

perhaps self management is where we start.. to be antifragile

rather than thinking we need to reach ‘intellectual maturity’ et al

literacy and numeracy both elements of colonialism.. we need to calculate differently and stop measuring things

Overall, success and failure turn to depend primarily on the extent of intellectual capabilities.

depends on who is defining success/failure and for who..

we’ve got that all backwards.. grokking moments et al.. ongoingly redefining (and/or releasing defining is an energy suck) flavors of success

_________

adding page because it seems everyone trying to org/reorg is focused on the org being around collective intelligence et al

and noticing that Doug Englebart used human intellect.. so i was thinking maybe he at least saw the need for something already in us.. (which i’d not heard before to describe intellect vs intelligence)

who knows

i just think whatever we org around.. has to be something already in each one of us.. not some skill acquired or something we need to increase to.. that just leads to colonialism/tragedy-of-noncommon.. et al

then added: rock and flower to spew how it clears things up in my head

_________

the deeper cancer is thinking we need to be an informed citizenry

_________

via ultimape – on this label.. and some of disabilities ie: stuttering.. keep us from the pa

I must be using that word incorrectly. Idiosyncratic language and all that jazz.

Did you know that 70 million people in the world are safe from the sorvaleance pantawptacon? Stuttering is like a privacy super power.

idiosyncratic jargon as encryption et al

Is this a joke? My life is a joke. (with link to intellect disability)

Problems keeping up in school

Failure to adapt or adjust to new situations

Difficulty understanding and following social rules

sandwiched inbetween the reasons why.. no?

Your heart, your emotional intelligence, is the higher guide; an antenna that tunes to our “higher self.” It knows far more than our minds will ever be able to formally model. It shows the way and makes us feel alive. The mind can then figure out later why the heart was right.

on each heart ness

Overuse and misapplication of the mind is the core malaise of the world. It happens in an environment of fear; we try to model the threat, but we can’t find the threat, because life itself is systemically oppressive so we learn to never get out of mind-panic mode.

“The future story of the Universe depends on the future story of intelligence, which will progressively enhance its control over cosmic space as completely as it is dominating the Earth’s biosphere. … Going back far beyond human history, we again find that living matter’s growing capacity to use energy flows is related to its growing ‘cleverness’ … Vernadsky has used the concept of a ‘coefficient of cephalization’ – the anatomic correlate for the intellectual quotient of vertebrate species.” [https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Anti-Entropic_Role_of_Information]:

Akop P. Nazaretyan:

“In order to sustain a far-from-equilibrium condition, an organism must work in opposition to the environment’s pressure. This work requires free energy to be extracted from other systems. So, *in order to continually tap energy from outside and escape from itself becoming a source of energy for its enemies, an organism needs information:.. t It has to orientate itself in the habitat, forecast events and organize its activity in conformity with a dynamic situation. In other words, it must construct anticipative world models. **Without this purposeful and highly sensitive anti-entropy activity, neither long-term, far-from-equilibrium conditions, nor the progressive building up of stages in living matter’s non-equilibrium would be possible..t For its own part, competition for matter and energy resources has served as an immutable motive for the perfection of modeling procedures, so that the specific weight of information versus matter/energy has been increasing with time. It is on the social stage that the mind became more and more the determinant cause of material evolution. So, as we like to get rid of teleology, or the ‘drive to evolution’ assumption, we still have to assume living matter’s drive to sustain highly improbable, farfrom-equilibrium conditions. This occurs in a manner similar to Henri Bergson’s élan vital, but, in order to avoid the French philosopher’s dualism, we must seek the evolutionary premises of living organisms’ immanent attribute. As far as Big Historians in the West have used equilibrium patterns, they have tended to confine themselves to discussions of matter/energy interactions and ***underestimated the information processes. As a result, the history and prehistory of subjectivity, as well as mental and spiritual reality, are viewed as epiphenomena (side effects) of material structures that do not play a role in evolution.

*1\ if have enemies.. already doing it wrong .. hari rat park law et al.. 2\ need to energy from inside.. we’ve been gathering wrong/nonlegit data/info since forever.. aka: we have no idea what legit free people are like.. only what whales in sea world are like..

need means (nonjudgmental expo labeling) to undo hierarchical listening as global detox so we can org around legit needs

because.. **carhart-harris entropy law: entropy suggests a gradual deterioration of a hard won order.. it may be that some brains could stand to have a little more entropy not less disorders.. not the result of a lack of order in the brain but rather stem from an excess of order – robin carhart-harris

et al

***pretty sure no one has done that to date.. because we can’t seem to let go enough of having-to-know ness to see.. what legit free.. unconditionally free (aka: sans any form of m\a\p) people are like.. oi

In Russia, the influence of Cosmist philosophy remains strong among many of the *most qualified astrophysicists and mathematicians, including those who actually work outside of Russia. We find its influence even extending to those who reject its naturalist scenario but still relate the potential future of the Metagalaxy with the increasing intervention of civilization (Novikov 1988; Linde 1990; Lefevre 1996). Not only Russian physicists come to similar suggestions, but also others. For instance, the eminent American specialist in quantum theory, David Deutsch (1997), who seems to had never heard of Cosmist philosophers, distinctly expressed the same idea: **The future story of the Universe depends on the future story of intelligence, which will progressively enhance its control over cosmic space as completely as it is dominating the Earth’s biosphere (see also Nazaretyan 2010b). Although this suggestion looks amazing on the surface, it ***becomes reasonable when we observe the long trend over billions of years. Looking back, first at the millennia of social history, we note how ‘virtual’ events like novel ideas and values, religious and philosophical doctrines, poetic, artistic and musical images, technological and scientific findings, all have exerted – via human activities – stronger and stronger impacts upon the Earth. Ultimately, their far reaching effects surpassed the ones of spontaneous geological and climatic cataclysms full of blind power. Going back far beyond human history, we again find that living matter’s growing capacity to use energy flows is ****related to its growing ‘cleverness’, although in this case the fact is less obvious. To argue it, Vernadsky has used the concept of a ‘coefficient of cephalization’ – the anatomic correlate for the intellectual quotient of vertebrate species. If we take modern fauna’s *****aggregative index for 1, then the index for the Miocene (25 million years ago) would be 0.5 and for the beginning of the Cenozoic (67 million years ago) would equal 0.25. This outstanding Russian evolutionist did not read the words by ******Norbert Weiner (they were written after Vernadsky’s death in 1945), but he was also puzzled by numerous facts that demonstrated the *******independent role of information: How can mind, which is surely not a form of energy, influence material processes?”
