Those are three benefits that you will get if you’re more intelligent. Like I said in the beginning I would prefer to be more intelligent than be more popular. The reasons why I think like that are that I will be more successful in life than the popular kids with a better job and a better education. In addition popular kids have more friends but they are not that smart as the more intelligent
That before we know it our appliances will be smarter than us one day and that’s not how man intended life to be; humans are supposed to be on top. Not being able to use today’s technology rings in Barry’s purpose. Technology has gone wild and he makes it very clear with several examples. His ability to discredit these technologic advances brings credit to his point. One can always refute anything they’d like, but to be effective, one needs to have appropriate facts for back-up and a dominating style that brings it all together.
In that situation I would find out that my answer was actually correct. This makes my thought of the human brain to be more than what it really is. Thin slicing is said to be an idea of spontaneous decisions that can be equal or more effective than well thought out decisions. It is almost like the answer pops in your head right after hearing the question. It appears extremely quick and in some cases people don’t even recognize it.
I agree with this view because I have a high intelligence in linguistic, but I do not have a very high intelligence in mathematical. I like the way that Gardner split up the intelligences because I do not think that everyone could have a high intelligence in all of the areas. Every person has an intelligence that they are good at and also a weakness that needs worked on(M. Mclean, DQ 2 week 3, February 16th 2013). People can take IQ tests to discover their intelligence but they have to be aware that it could be biased. Logical-Mathematical is where a person will detect patterns, reason, and think logically and your thoughts will have scientific and mathematical reasoning.
I will admit that I assume that Asians are smarter than any other race. To this day I think that Asians are one of the smartest of minorities if not the smartest. I believe that the reason why Asians are the smartest of minorities is because they are raised to work hard in everything they do and their parents enforce them to try a lot harder in school then other minority parents. I haven’t met a lot of Asians Americans but the ones that I have met have all been smart and I can see how one person can set the example to others and we stereotype people so when we think one Asian is really smart then we right away think Asian Americans in general are a lot smarter.
He wanted to show his audience the desperation of the situation that Ireland, his home country, was put through. This was a result of the unfair treatment and neglect from Britain. Swift wanted the British to see the effects of their cruelty and what the extremely unfortunate predicament has caused the Irish to cook up as a solution! You got it – babies. Swift’s reliance on irony and satire were clever in writing his piece.
King Lear’s Edmund and Othello’s Iago are undoubtedly Shakespeare’s most evil characters. Even when put up against each other, the two villains prove to be similar in several aspects. It is their differences, however, that point to the real villain of the two, and the one that is truly evil. The similarities in the means by which Edmund and Iago perform their intrigues point to their position as villains, but it is the reasons for their actions and the eventual unwinding of their plots that sets Iago miles ahead of Edmund in terms of evil nature. Iago and Edmund both utilize trust and love as instruments of destruction while at the same time exacerbating inherent tensions within the relationships of their victims.
Now comes the decision of what is the highest pleasure. Utilitarian’s, and thereby Mill, believe that the placement of superiority goes to intellectual pleasures. While some may most certainly agree that there are some physical pleasures that surpass those of intellectuality, Mill and other utilitarian’s place “mental over bodily pleasures” mainly because it is more likely to stay in place longer, probably safer, might not be as expensive, and just has more advantages than a physical pleasure would have. The way Mill seems to distinguish the differences between higher and lower pleasures is based on the experiences of someone who has experienced both. If one was to experience both an intellectual and a physical pleasure (not necessarily at the same time) eventually they are going to have a preference of one over the other.
If there is a possibility to create beings that matched or even surpassed our intelligence at a cost of our place at the top of the food chain, is it worth it? Currently, humanity is leading the world, not because of our physicality but cause of our intelligence. Our evolution of our intelligence brought us to where we are today, but some scientists are questioning the potential for us to create machines that perform on the same level as humans intellectually. These hypothetical machines are called artificial intelligence (AI). Our need for AI includes a means of making productivity in jobs more consistent, and automating tedious processes in a quick and cost efficient way.
I believe Einstein was trying to say that obtaining knowledge is much less important than using that knowledge to conjure some kind of scientific concept. Or that he denies the fact that most people see imagination as nothing but useless thoughts. This is true, because today’s knowledge has come from the result of several imaginations of several intellectuals. The knowledge one uses for advantage would be deficient without our imagination to expand on, in order to continue to overcome further posts of knowledge. Why is imagination more important than knowledge?
