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!
