Creating Intelligence
By Leo Gura - June 14, 2021
Beyond merely a game, this video showcases two of the deepest aspects of intelligence: counter-intuitiveness and holism.
An inferior Go player cannot appreciate the move of a superior Go player because the inferior player lacks the scope of holistic vision necessary to put the move into its proper context. Therefore making the move counter-intuitive. The smartest move, seen from a narrow perspective, appears stupid. And to a fool, great wisdom appears like foolishness. Great wisdom can only be appreciated from a holistic enough perspective. Moves that seem bad from a small picture view are actually the highest good in the big picture view.
There is a deep analogy here between the intelligence of playing games and the intelligence of the structure of Universe. See, the finite human mind is unable to see the Infinite Intelligence and Love behind moves such as theft, murder, torture, abuse, suffering, pain, etc. That’s because understanding these things requires an infinitely wide view of the entire board.
Consider this possibility: if you became conscious enough to see the ENTIRE board of reality, and if you played through every possible scenario — infinite scenarios for an infinite number of years — what you’d realize is that reality is Perfect exactly as it is. Reality IS always the best possible move when seen from an infinitely holistic perspective.
If you think there is a problem with the world, that just means you’re not seeing far enough moves ahead. And if you’re seeing far enough ahead, then you will become unable to find a problem with the world.
There are no flaws. The design of reality is PERFECT. The only question is, will you ever become conscious enough to see it?
