I'm not talking about either of these things. I have already stated that I'm not referring to knowledge. Additionally, I do not agree that intelligence is merely the ability to acquire knowledge. Intelligence is famously difficult to define - but I'm working with a definition akin to a capacity for problem solving and pattern recognition. If we can't see eye to eye there, then we're clearly talking past each other.
Thanks for the interesting conversation. I wish you well.
I'm curious how pattern recognition and problem solving are not just applied knowledge? They're skills you can train up. You can learn to do it better.
Pattern recognition is part of learning and part of intelligence, but it's worthwhile to distinguish between your current ability to recognize patterns and your maximum capacity to recognize patterns right? The maximum capacity would be bounded by your intelligence while the current ability is your knowledge.
