Will AI develop better intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom (ikw)?

May 27, 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming the best technology (tool and method) for developing intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom (ikw). This "ikw" is the key to creating a good life (i.e. a productive and enjoyable existence). 

What is intelligence?

Intelligence is the ability to acquire knowledge and develop skills to achieve wisdom. Below, the proposition that all intelligence comes from data processing, and that without data processing there is no intelligence. Before, brief questions and answers about what is knowledge, what are skills, how are knowledge and skill acquired, what is wisdom and how it is acquired. After that, a brief observation about how AI may be the best technology (tool and method) for the acquisition of intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom (ikw). 

What is knowledge?

Knowledge is awareness of events; understanding of causality of those events; and mastery predicting those events.

  • Awareness comes from "sensing" (i.e. registering) changes in environmental variables. Biological cells develop environmental awareness by registering reactions to changes in the environment. 
  • Understanding causality comes from learning (connecting neurally) which processed reactions (PR) to changes in the environment lead to which internal results.
  • Mastery of predictability comes from recognizing what changes in which variables correspond to which changes in what environmental events. 

How is knowledge acquired?

The Three Es of Learning. Knowledge is acquired from learning which comes from experience, experimentation, and education (EEE) or the "3Es of learning". 

  • Experience is perceiving reactions (PR) to an event (i.e. a change in environmental variables). Experiencing a change entails perceiving reactions (PR) to the environmental change and reactions
  • Experimentation is forcing an event to register its processed reactions (PR).             
  •  Education is going over the processed reactions (PR) to an experience or experimentation. 

What are skills?

Skills are applied knowledge. Skills are are learned and developed by practice. Procedural repetition (PR) of synaptic connections enforce the connections, leading to learning and development of skills.

What is wisdom?

Wisdom is optimal agency (choice or decision-making) by applying knowledge and skills to obtain desired results and avoid undesirable ones.

How is ikw developed?

Developing ikw (intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom) is all about data processing. That is, it's all about the intake of certain input, and its processing (applying a function) to generate an output. In living organisms, the cells are the data processing units. In artificial units, the microprocessors are the data processing units. 

To be continued. It's clear where this is going. The better the data processing, the better ikw. The better ikw, the best life possible.

Stay tuned.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

Are we closer to World War III after Assad's' fall in Syria?

December 8, 2024 Are we closer to World War III after Assad's fall in Syria?    Well, yes because World War III will be in the future and we are always closer to the future. Now, that future has not been created yet so it's impossible to predict it with full accuracy. Whether the world moves into WWIII after Assad's fall will greatly depend on what Putin decides to do. After all, Assad is hiding in Russia from where he could try to organize a come back. We should all prepare for WWIII. Sooner or later WWIII will be real. Perhaps we are already at the initial stages and have not realized it. a WWIII will most likely bring significant human suffering and significant technological advances. Who will win, how will WWIII play out? No one knows yet. The future has not been created yet.  In this post we take a quick look into Syria's history including who is Bashar al-Assad, and what may happen in Syria and the region now that Assad's regime collapsed and the dictator is i...

What is the best deal for Panama?

February 1, 2025 What is the best deal for Panama? Trump wants the American Canal in Panama back. What should Panama do?  Panama should lease the canal to the United States. Panama can then hope that a future president can end the lease or renegotiate it in the future. Panama earns about $5 billion a year operating the canal. Panama should negotiate a lease with the United States that allows Panama to either earn or save about that amount per year. The lease may call for improvements to the canal paid by the United States. The lease may call for other economic concessions to Panama such as a special trade agreement, tariff exemptions, direct U.S. investments in Panama, fintech and cryptocurrency deals, etc.  Panama should see Trump's interest in the canal as a blessing in disguise and as an opportunity to enter into a strategic money-making deal. Panama should not see itself as a victim. The truth is that the United States built the canal and that the United States freed Panam...
