FIS Friends,
Like in most of our excursions, in the present one we have stumbled upon
a very interesting and exciting "attractor". Rather than throwing
ourselves into a deep discussion about the modes of social knowing and
their historical interrelationship my suggestion is that we sidestep
them and make some "concluding comments" on the ongoing discussion by
coming back to the final questions of Prof. Zhong (Yixin in our friendly
environment!). I will pen them at the bottom. Concerning the modes of
knowledge discussion, next weeks I will make a proposal in order to have
it as our next discussion session (immediately after this one, or
perhaps after another session which has been tentatively demanded about
an "axiomatic approach to information theory".)
Let me make another suggestion. In the concluding comments it would be
important trying to be as boldest as possible, as well as hearing new
voices related to neuroscience, cellular-molecular biology, physics, and
artificial intelligence. Thus I kindly demand to the active group of
philosophically oriented parties, and to everybody else, to momentarily
keep at bay the critical comments --only positive reactions (Christmas
time!). All parties who have participated in recent discussions, and
particularly the new arrivals into the list, are cordially invited to
reflect their brute insights on intelligence and information... maybe
just penning three or four lines on a few of the questions below.
Thus, these were Yixin's questions:
. What is the correct concept of intelligence?
. What is the correct concept of information?
. What is the precise relation between intelligence and information?
. How do you evaluate the current state of the art in the study of
intelligence science?
. How do you evaluate the current state of the art in the study of
information science?
. Do you agree with the statement that intelligence comes from
knowledge and the latter from information?
. What, do you think, is the feasible mechanism of intelligence growth?
. Do you think it possible to have information being conversed to
knowledge and even to intelligence?
best wishes, and season greetings
---Pedro
