Most of the actions you and I do are "0 IQ". There's a little bit of intelligence in the in between.

When I wrote about «act[or|ion]s», I of course meant the relevant ones,

and in general, actions are based - prescriptively - on concretions of layers of developed intelligence (wisdom), intelligence which is constantly applied and exercised (just with different occasional effort, for resource management). If somebody went sparingly, their own practice and our damage - if they are active.

So, again: a "sub-bohemian" idea that "anything goes" is the swan song. Wait till you actually needed intelligent action, to prevent critical losses.

I will rephrase coincisely: you are supposed to exercise intelligence at any action. If you do not do it, your vice.
