This is a very intelligent and thoughtful response, I don't have the energy right now to respond to every point, but I think that these types of arguments about intelligence are typically used to deprive "lesser beings" of rights. When I think that the opposite conclusion should be reached, that being intelligent should ensure some baseline of humane treatment. I understand with and agree with your sentiment, but typically in pop-philosophy hierarchies of intelligence are used to justify the mistreatment of others.
- nmz 4y agoThank you, I have found some flaws in my own argument but I will leave that to you. Its a scary and realistic slippery slope, funny considering how difficult to accurately measure intelligence is, even worse with an improper education. I know this is a hypothesis, but I'm sure simplifications like blyss symbolics or toki pona or https://www.plainlanguage.gov/ https://www.plainlanguage.gov/ would "augment" intelligence as well. I've also heard dyslexia is non-existant in other languages. Which indicates that the complexity helps no one and at this rate, in due time, humans will be mentally incapable of handling the complexities of the world itself. But that's off topic. sort of.
