Reflexive thinking is like play squash, the ball is the thinking patterns. Capacity to refute their primary cognitive bias and avoide instinctive basic reactions.Santocultonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-86369197206188530742015-09-18T17:37:18.930+01:002015-09-18T17:37:18.930+01:00There seems to be a fundamental paradox about inte...There seems to be a fundamental paradox about intelligence. By the (low) standards of social science it is outstandingly easy to measure and the measurements are outstandingly useful. Yet attempts so far to get to the bottom of it, either in genetic terms or brain-structure terms , have been unsuccessful, and imply that the source of intelligence is a subtle, complex thing. So: easy to use, hard to understand. It reminds me of an argument from my friend the Particle Physicist: the point of Quantum Mechanics is to learn to use it, not to understand it. In fact he seems to take the view that people who claim to understand QM at a fundamental level are cranks. Still, the analogy will break down one day, no doubt.deariemenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-88644830941672508192015-09-18T17:28:17.760+01:002015-09-18T17:28:17.760+01:001939?
