Ask HN: How optimized is human intelligence?

[catasaurus]

How optimized do you think human intelligence is compared to the theoretical max? What do you think the max optimizes for?

[p1esk]

What is “theoretical max” for intelligence?

[catasaurus]

I mean the max efficiency for intelligence, which is pretty abstract so part of the question is what does intelligence even mean as it supersedes humans and the metrics we care about
