Name an intelligent person who’s not educated. Just literally one. Education is the only thing an ‘intelligent’ person has. They recall what they know. Their education. I’m not talking about university, I’m talking about knowledge. I don’t care about formal education. One’s education is just their accumulated knowledge. Manifesting accumulated knowledge is intelligence. The only thing I can imagine is ‘intelligence’ is capacity for pattern matching.
A baby learning to cry for food has accumulated knowledge. A feral child surviving in the woods has accumulated knowledge. These are ‘intelligent’ beings no matter their environment. They’re smart as hell and can pattern match to live. There is no such thing as ‘intelligence’ because all living animals exhibit it. Life itself is intelligence, sure. I’ll admit that. “Actual intelligence” is just being a DNA based organism apparently. Sure. I agree.
Everyone has ability. Knowledge of possibilities is literally the only limiting factor in ability, all other things equal. You can do incredible things if you just knew about it and developed the neural pathways your brain literally is designed for. But you don’t know about them, you haven’t developed the neural pathways for them, therefore you think you can’t do it. But you could if you have the capacity for doing all of it. The only limiting thing, really, is your ability to pattern match, which more things to pattern match against in your brain, the more things you can pull from to learn new things. Someone who can take their knowledge of piano and transfer that to guitar is as ‘intelligent’ as a person who can transfer knowledge from haskell to ocaml or from biology to chemistry or from history to politics.
It’s their choice to not utilize their ability that makes them idiots. Idiots have the capacity and don’t utilize it. A person who lacks the ability is literally neurologically damaged. A person who’s educated by a village of dumb idiotic, propagandized, indoctrinated people then what do you think they will pattern match from to the world around them?
I already said—DNA. It’s an algorithm. It’s gotten very far in keeping itself going, don’t you think? The DNA-based tree of life has yet to go extinct after all of these years.
Nonsense.

My dad is pretty intelligent and didn’t even graduate highschool.
Intelligence pertains to ability, not education.
Or do you think that intelligent people didn’t exist until education? Because if that’s the case, who created education?

Idiots don’t.
It’s their choice to not utilize their ability that makes them idiots. Idiots have the capacity and don’t utilize it. A person who lacks the ability is literally neurologically damaged.

So if education equals intelligence, who invented education?
I already said—DNA. It’s an algorithm. It’s gotten very far in keeping itself going, don’t you think? The DNA-based tree of life has yet to go extinct after all of these years.
DNA isn’t education. What do you mean by that?
