There are some really good arguments that penmanship (actually, any fine motor skill) ultimately improves intellectual capacity.
- bluGill 2y agoMaybe, though when I read those critically I suspect that it is more just time spent on something. Hunting rabbits with a sling requires fine motor skills as well, is that good enough (This is the most primitive, 'uneducated' task I can think of at the moment - there are plenty of others). How does learning violin compare? There are plenty of other possibilities that those arguments don't adequately address.
- cyberax 2y agoNo, hunting rabbits doesn't require fine motor skills (coordination between fingers and eyes). > How does learning violin compare? I don't think it is, although music seems to offer its own advantages. Apparently, playing console games on a controller might also qualify.
