I don't actually know if general intelligence is a thing the way you're describing it. There's no reason why an insanely smart algo PhD-from-MIT person could take their algo smarts and intuitively apply it to being a compassionate human being dealing with others whose existence and experiences may be drastically different from themselves for practically no feasible reason (fate/gods/random chance).
- ganzuul 7y agoA lot of traits commonly seen as benevolent can be attributed to evolutionary pressure. Healthy human emotions associated with these are not necessary for them to work, although they are important for living a fulfilling life. Cooperation and diversity are both optimal so being complex social creatures we go to lenghts to communicate as widely as we may. I think it all works out quite nicely, thankfully.
