- Misdicorl 8y agoHeat should be seen as diversity of viewpoints rather than intelligence
- stcredzero 8y agoThat's arguably better. In the original formulation, I think it's that the sub-population that is genuinely intellectually curious gets jaded, while the sub-population that is into capitalizing on group-think starts to take over. In this way, it's also related to intelligence.
- Misdicorl 8y agoEh, I think that's mostly a consequence of the group considered rather than fundamental behavior. See e.g. the discussion about the same effects in science as they develop their own group think (jargon)
