Greetings Foundation for Information Science Colleagues:
I have been following more than 45 previous [FIS] messages regarding
Dr. Chuan Zhao's recent book entitled THE FRONTIERS OF INTELLIGENCE
SCIENCE. Regretfully, I have not seen or read the book, even though I
concede that my following comments may take a different form if I were
to read its text.
At the outset, I can agree to a need for intelligence science(s) ...
apart from information sciences and machine intelligence. That said, I
am concerned by some lack in clarity regarding various matters. For
example, I see no reason to ever equate intelligence with wisdom.
Also, artificial intelligence paradigms and intelligence paradigms
remain to be elucidated and explicated. Indeed, some persons have
cited "context" and "goals" wherein I believe that "shedding light
on," "elucidation," "explication," et al. should be central issues for
intelligence science(s).
Because of my recent interest in common sense, aberrant common sense,
and, interestingly, how aberrant common sense can contribute to chaos
and stupidity, I believe that all intelligence sciences should include
discussions on evolution and development. Dr. Zhao and others could
benefit from investigating common sense(s), critical thinking and
intelligence(s) in worldwide cultures and languages. To cite one
example of the latter, the notion of the subjunctive (in English
language) and its absence in selected other languages is critically
important in any disciplinary and/or
interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary discussions intelligence sciences.
If future discussions of intelligence sciences explore biological
issues (e.g., neural networking et al.), then those discussions also
must explore Kantian notions of the a priori and a posteriori. Also,
as Joe Brenner pointed out, future cosmological notions of
intelligence sciences should not overlook science fiction writer and
philosopher Stanislaw Lem's perspectives. Ethnomethodologies then may
become central foci.
Lastly, I suggest that Dr. Zhao's points (a) to (m) are overly
simplistic.
With cordial greetings,

PS: I noted that Professor Lofti Zadeh added a comment early in the
discussion. He may be surprised to know that he and I attended several
mathematics classes at Stanford University during the early-1960s.

Dear Chuan,
yes, intelligence and stupidity belong together as the wonderful
quote from Alice clearly show. If we develop a science of
intelligence we cannot do it without developing a science of
studipidity (including also subfields like hate speech that I call
'insultology' and many other matters). Then this science becomes
interwoven with ethics. If we follow Wittgenstein and Nietzsche
and Heidegger and other 'pragmatists' intelligence is primarily a
practical issue: it has to do with survival. Then, we have made of
intelligence something 'theoretical'. A science of intelligence
must deal with both aspects including also the 'negative' forms
(stupidity etc.)
best
Rafael
in the attachment, thanks!
