Intelligence tests

We have proved one hundred percent to our satisfaction that humans do not
have intelligence.
Intelligence is NOTHING to do with physics or maths or science or chess or
graduate degrees or quiz shows any of these. These are memory, logic,
connections - brain functions is all - but no these are not intelligence.

We do KNOW what intelligence is and we have PROVED that humans do not have
this.

It is a magic light and is indeed very rare.
Most species when becoming sentient can do various computations and have
various theories on "what it is all about" or they may have some element of
memory recall and a vague idea of moral behaviour but to find intelligence
is very very rare.

It is nothing to be ashamed of. It is not your fault you do not have this.
Naturally we cannot tell you of the "Intelligence Tests" in case any other
aliens wish to perform the same tests. If you knew what the answers were -
you could then thus fool them and this would not be fair.

okay, I still don't know....

Is asking about "role playing" forbidden in the context of the role
being played???

I think it's a good idea to adapt a persona to spread a particular
viewpoint, much like a ventriloquist and his dummy (It’s “cute” &
“funny” to watch people actually talk to a piece of wood!!!)

So, between you & I, is that what this is???

Just curious,

Never heard the term "Meatspace" before; so I guess you **can** learn
on the Internet!!!

I use the forum to find out *why* people believe *what* they do (w/o
an "agenda" to modify those said viewpoints) and *why* they *do* what
they do....Maybe it's from years of self-inflicted isolation that I
don't ***already*** understand...

and then again, maybe *my* world lasted this long because of that...

seems like a philosophy forum would be a good place to find a clue...
