A Theory of Adaptive Intelligence and Its Relation to General Intelligence
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Two Kinds of Intelligence
2.1. General Intelligence (General Cognitive Ability)
2.2. Adaptive Intelligence
3. Resolutions of the Paradox of Apparent High General Intelligence and Species-Maladaptive Destructiveness
3.1. There Is No Paradox: General Intelligence Has Nothing to Do with Biological Adaptation
3.2. There Is No Paradox: General Intelligence Is about Individual, Not Collective Adaptation
3.3. Intelligence Is Ultimately Self-Destructive
3.4. Constructs Other Than Intelligence Explain Why People Act Against Their Biological Interests
3.5. Intelligence as Individual, Not Species Adaptation
4. Is the Western Conception of “Intelligence” Actually Intelligence?
5. Implications for Action
6. Conclusions
