Visualspatial intelligence is required for almost anything.
I'm sorry. This is all pure, unadulterated BS. You need spatial
intelligence (i.e. a world model). You do NOT need visual anything.
The only way in which you need visual is if you contort it's meaning
until it effectively means spatial. Visual means related to vision.
If you can't tell me why vision allows something that echo-location
quality hearing does not (other than color perception -- which is
*NOT* necessary for intelligence), then you don't need visual.
Echolocation--just like the brain--isn't solved yet, so you cannot claim
that it is unrelated to your definition of vision. Vision can simulate
"spatial" intelligence. Light use waves so it can reconstruct a model.
Similarly, sound use waves, so it can reconstruct a model. The
difference is just the type of wave. See
