| As far as it’s about intelligence, don’t the author suffer the navel- glazing biais to only consider intelligence in one dimension, as an individual characteristic. Human like many others species is a social species. And collective intelligence is what emerge from social interaction in a cohesive group. A bee hive is able to solve geometrical series, while none of individuals in the hive is able to solve it by himself. Human are not différents and collective intelligence is what truly exists and is important despite all the individualism propaganda. So there might be a curse of intelligence at individual scale. But we don’t have to worry about it. Because individual intelligence as almost not importance compared to collective intelligence. In fact it’s almost the opposite, the curse of intelligence can only exists in individualistic environment when no feedback is provided, by censorship, or silencing process from the inner rules defining the social link between individuals. For instance I would suggest reading the “gossip trap”’from Erik Hoel explaining how archaic social structure based on personal branding as the only sustainable way to survive in the group is destroying civilisation and pushing the group back in barbaric time. Managing you own notoriety and personal branding is the core aim of social media. With this new category of influencers. There is no curse of intelligence. There os curse of social mediation which fails to modulate individual intelligence in the benefit of the collective intelligence. Cheers |
