It has. I've probably been using google a lot longer than you. Stop trying to push your anti AI agenda rhetoric on me in place of actually thinking about the question. I'm not anti AI. I don't run around accusing you of being obsessed with AI. Or implying it's blinding you etc.

@LordFall how has it changed?

Like a true chameleon 😎

I consider myself an ambivert.

Possibly to expand on the above definition to encapsulate more: "Intelligence is the capacity to build accurate models of reality, and use those models to achieve goals across set of diverse domains" Which is sort of all the parts of my deconstructed and simplified definition above is getting at.

@StaraX I've never thought on it. I suppose I would define intelligence as the ability to learn, understand, reason, adapt, and solve problems across a wide range of situations (not limited to this). I don't believe IQ is a good measure of intelligence (or a measure of it in it's totality, at all). If that is Jordan Peterson's definition and conclusions regarding IQ / intelligence I would not adopt it, personally. It sounds like a limiting frame. I generally think emotional health, relationships, and meaning are much stronger determinants of a happy life. Intelligence would have a much weaker positive correlation comparitively - I personally haven't seen it, or been able to detect it. How about yourself?

What would be the point in even broadcasting it? All the cards are laid bare with the intent to do so alone.

I too did a lot of research. MND is idiopathic in nature, but there is some genetic causes also, I believe? One pattern we came across was pesticides. My aunt grew up in an area of Australia (farming and agriculture) that has a large quantity of cases of MND in a small locale. Farmland. The hospitals noticed the large volume of cases from the one area and a small information, research and support group was founded. They are currently doing investigation but it is suspected agricultural pesticides may be a contributing factor. My aunt swam every day in the rivers in the area.... diagnosed with MND after a lot of confusion and misdiagnosis for 16months. She is 70 years old.

I never laboured under the assumption I was.

Yes, and this is why I raised the case of my Aunt who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. If anyone knows anything about this disease - it is a terminal death sentence. A slow irreversible decline (think Steven Hawking - suffered from a form of MND and very long lived). My aunt has been given 18 months based on her rate of decline. It is very, very confronting to see how quickly she is fading. Unfortunately, she fell prey to many alternative health treatments (grifters) who sold her on cures with no evidence. Burned through immense amounts of cash for it to amount to nothing. She is investigating assisted suicide.

This is just your own assumption and reading into my question. My line of enquiry for proof would act to convince anyone in doubt, who has not been so across Leo's history. It's your claim. Not everyone studies others with curiosity (maligned or no). Not everyone is across whatever data you make your claim on.

Can you link us some quotes to substantiate this?

@Joshe that doesnt address anything I said or the potential issues with your way of deriving knowing.

It's called rhetoric I have used Google since it was established. It is very, very poor quality now. So, to me, it is dead.

I just can't run off a small, non-random example and leap all the way ------> population claim. It's a good observation, but not enough for the 99% claim. This is just poor precision and epistemology. I cannot be swayed by this. Really it comes across as you pulling numbers out of thin air? If you have something to support this I will get behind it. Otherwise cheers for the other clarifications.
