With a connection to fast internet my IQ increases by an order of magnitude(with high latency), I can answer almost any question in one minute, without internet, my IQ decreases back to average.
What happens when we start merging with technology so the internet is always with us 24/7? When I get charged of a crime, am I immediately unplugged and and reduced the mental capability of a child so that the prosecution can have an easier time of it?
- nsns 15y agoA little OT: there's a great book called "The sound of two hands clapping", about an American who was trained as a Tibetan Buddhist monk. This requires immense memorization, and coming back to the West, the guy realized how much we rely on our information being easily (and physically) available to us, as opposed to retrieving some of it from our memory. It's a great read and offers an interesting perspective on how things might be different elsewhere.
- middus 15y agoWhile I get the notion of your argument, I'd like to point out that neither intelligence, nor IQ do have anything to do with answering knowledge questions.
