  • Intelligence

    Types

    • Human Intelligence
    • Animal Intelligence
    • Machine Intelligence
    • Artificial Intelligence
    • Military Intelligence
    • Counter-Intelligence

    IQ

    • Intelligence Quotient (IQ) was introduced by researchers such as Terman.
    • Mensa Society requires a high IQ to be a member.
    • A study claims that beyond a certain IQ, there is not much correlation between “creativity” and “high IQ”.
    • Other Quotients (e.g. Emotional Quotient) are being proposed to complement/supplement IQ.

    Definitions

    • One definition of Intelligence is “the ability to create new tools from existing ones”.”
    • Variations include “the ability to find new ways of using old tools.”

    Turing Tests

    There is a classic “Turing Test” to determine if a machine (e.g. computer) is intelligent enough to fool the human experimenters.

    There are scoped Turing Tests to determine if a machine is on par with humans in a specified domain.

    Question

    With advances in Artificial Intelligence, machines can help solve complex problems.

    “Can machines really think?” is a hard question to answer (at least for the near future).

  • What Buddhism is

    Excerpts from a Book Chapter
    by Narada Maha Thera


    Buddhism
    is neither a metaphysical path nor a ritualistic path.
    is neither skeptical nor dogmatic.
    neither eternalism or nihilism.
    is neither self-mortification nor self-indulgence.
    is neither pessimism nor optimism but realism.
    is neither absolutely this-worldly nor other-worldly.
    is not extrovert but introvert.
    is not theocentric but homocentric.
    is a unique Path of Enlightenment.
