Some parts of human intelligence can translate to machine intelligence (like how neurons inspired deep learning). Also, new ways of modeling and treating mental illness. Those are just the first two that come to mind.
(I’m asking rhetorically, what I really want to know is why this is meaningful to you, but ask yourself that question as though I was being irreverent to your ambitions and let me know what comes out).
You’ve got my attention now. I’ve been treading a similar path myself…what if the bigger picture involved a component that was indifferent (or fundamentally inverse) to intelligence?
Do you keep up with current events? Is there much to say in support of the intellect of the general public and is it worthwhile to technologically equip the ignorant with simulated rations of reason?
Why is it that those deemed to possess cognitive faculties of abberance seem to be the deepest thinkers & possess a greater capacity for zeal and determination than those we are supposed to believe possess more “normal” minds (as in their intellect and their conduct is deemed desirable)?
Is this a case you’re willing to confront? Or am I begging you to question.
