Re: Dynamic Intelligence

Hello Jorge,
I'm glad you like this concept and definition of Dynamic Intelligence.
I am still working on it a little bit and will post an update in a few days.
In itself this definition works very good as is.
What I am going to add is another dimension (or layer) of dynamic application of intelligence. Beyond mere problem solving.
The current statement says: "... — and then to learn from the observations and apply this knowledge with the needed purposeful intensity to adapt to new, unresolved, or persistent conditions of existence, ..."
This is good and valid, but there is another dimension intelligence (and the things from the beginning of the definition statement) can be applied to: "... — and then to learn from the observations and apply this knowledge with the needed purposeful intensity to adapt to new, unresolved, or persistent conditions of existence, or to apply in creative, artistic, philosophical, technical, engineering, or scientific exploration or aspirations —"
We often see intelligence as a mere "problem solving" faculty. But it dawned on me that intelligence at the beginning was used for exploration, too and to follow our dreams and aspirations. We might have split off from the heavens to solve the problem of boredom (that's application to a negative/unwanted), but the positive want and drive (or aspiration) was to explore other options!
Therefore I am adding this layer of pursuing dreams, creating beauty, discovering truth, inventing technologies and engineering, and exploring possibilities to the definition of dynamic intelligence. Both: the handling of unwanteds and the pursuit of wanteds, by use of intelligence, result in envisioned change and improved conditions and options.
I am still working on the definition. While it's solid and working as is, there are still some little nuances I want to include. As said, this is more an essay now, rather than a definition. :-)
But honestly, even when it's getting a bit longer I don't feel it's too long or hard to read. The sequence of the definition is deliberately chosen, starting with perception, discernment, estimation/evaluation, going over to learning and retaining knowledge and finally purposeful application with the right amount of intensity/effort and at the end naming the WHATFOR.
Thank you Jorge, and again, I'm glad it is something you find useful, even worth putting in your glossary! Just please be a bit patient
For me: I am still blowing so many misconceptions, some even not directly related to intelligence but still somewhat linked. It's like I am rebooting my "operating system".
And with the rise of Computer Learning we have to compete with the so called "artificial intelligence". The main factor that is different is we are living, dreaming, aspiring, spiritual beings who can truly be present, perceive, envision... machines only can perform sophisticated circuits and programm commands. But with the use of intelligence we can put the machines to work so they serve us -- and not the other way around!
Have a great day!
