We're all ignorant. It doesn't hurt to question even the fundamental properties of reality.We're all Stupid. Problem Solved.
You can label things upon your own interpretation of what it is. You will never truly fathom the simple complexity of everything that our mind interprets in itself. Knowing something is not being ''intelligent''. Knowing how to choose something rather than the other is not being ''intelligent''.It's manifesting knowledge because we are highly advanced life-forms. We are able to. Intelligence doesn't explain any of it. (By your technical interpretations) It's just this measurement of how much priority we have to manifest our knowledge, which again is simply trumped by calling it: Exercising our mind with healthy approaches.Oy guess what AV.
Colours, are labels. They are purely EM waves of varying frequency. They do not exist in this universe UNTIL they hit a receptor. Animals do not have these receptors, humans are the only creatures that do. Humans then assign labels to them. By yout logic, colours are man made.
Does this mean they dont exist?
If I prefer red over green, did I choose this? Why are girls more likely to prefer pink over brown? Why do people spend thousands of dollars to paint a cat a certain colour.
Labels exist for a reason. Humans want to quantify/categorise EVERYTHING. If 'colours' were not labelled, how would you explain how you see this world. Colours are undoubtedly the best, most universally accepted method of labelling a man-made interpretation
Intelligence is THE EXACT SAME. In the same way we observe a difference between what we label 'red' and 'blue', we have observed differences in peoples ability to think quickly. This can be observed when two people take vastly different times to complete a wide variety if lifes questions.
It benefits us to quantify this, if I require someone to complete complex tasks quickly and efficiently, I need a way to measure this. This is why tests and exams exist. Over the course of many, many years of tests, we can quantify this.
Intelligence is but one of MANY man-made labels which dont exist outside of our brains. To deny its existance puts you on the same level as animals. They would deny colours exist, that does not mean they dont exist to humans.
The crux of the matter is, there is a spectrum of mental capacity, this is UNDENIABLE, in the exact same way the colour spectrum exists. If you call it the XYZ factor while the rest of the world calls it intelligence, that spectrum still exists.
In essence, your denying the existance of a human label to a universally observed and understood phenomenon, is identical to telling me that 'colours' dont exist. Now prove it, and wear pink everything outside.

Not by people using it to put themselves on a pedestal.Frotaz, like I said before, intelligence is generally divided into categories that concern particular areas.
That is true.Not by people using it to put themselves on a pedestal.
Are you serious? Fine Ill humour you.Browny I don't think anyone is denying that there is a spectrum of mental capacity, just like there is undeniably a spectrum of light.
The reason it's not like colors is because each varying frequency has its own label. The problem with the idea of intelligence is that it only has one word: intelligence. Sure others may be used to describe certain types (wisdom, common sense) but for the most part intelligence is usually what it's defined as.
It'd be like saying each crayon in a box with 64 unique colored crayons has the same name.
Another reason it's not like colors is differences in intelligence are being put on a comparative ladder. This ladder implies that intelligence can be scientifically defined as "better" and "worse", which are not scientific terms at all. You would never try and scientifically determine which crayon colors are superior, would you?
You're not being genuine though. You have not interpreted the world in a way that resounds with simplicity and intricate genuineness. Your sense of understanding fails to present a true breadth of sincerity in the worlds INSIDE.Well. I still believe that intelligence has no rightful place as a term, and every other term that can be acknowledged conveniently can back it up.
There is knowledge. There is exercising the brain to strengthen our ability to incorporate this knowledge in a broader sense. Then, there are factors that affect it negatively.
There is no intelligence in that. All it is, is a phantom power humans built to make themselves better than others.

Alright then mr I-cant-understand-my-own-wordsYes, but we clearly can see colours, now can't we? The rest has nothing to do with intelligence, because it's another label that I won't argue with. If that's what you call that nature, sure.. I could careless. Intelligence is a different story. Does my title say '' Intelligence AND Morals AND Beliefs AND Feelings AND STUFF THAT WE CAN'T SEE PHYSICALLY, ARE ALL AN ILLUSION, DERP''?
Can you see intelligence besides for what you interpret as, in a physical sense?
No.
You are as whole as a hole can be.
Support your argument.
Okay then.Nah.
