“for the only way to succeed is to decline to admit the possibility of failure.”
C.W. Leadbeater |

“Atoms can stay. But other than that, I believe one needs to suspend most of the assumptions about the granularity of the reality that is normally invoked once you start speaking about social systems.”
― Social Systems: Where is the Ground?
― Social Systems: Where is the Ground?
“The ambition of our initiative is to mobilise a cognitive power
that we are referring to as ‘extraordinary intelligence’. As many of you – participants
of the project – have been pointing out, this ambition tends to evoke considerable
attraction and equally considerable resentment, or at least reservation. The
objections are partly ethical and political, partly cultural and psychological. When
critiqued conceptually, the phrasing also calls for a serious re-visiting of the notion
of intelligence. The ‘extraordinary’ we are after turns out to be less problematic:
the way we put it, it is a progressive, dynamic term. ‘Extraordinary’ does not come
to mean ‘greater than’, along a pre-established scale of measurement or relative
to a baseline in a population, but rather ‘greater again, and yet again’, displaying
qualities that outgrow themselves. The extraordinary intelligence would then be a
capability that continuously exceeds its own limits, proving to be more insightful,
more far-sighted and more potent than one might normally project. But what is
‘intelligence’? Clearly, we cannot be referring here to what is captured by IQ tests.
The intelligence quotient is an iconic psychometric construct and the primary feature
of such measurement methods is their reliable reference to traits that are persistent
– ideally throughout the lifetime of the individuals assessed. If our interest is in
an ever-changing, ever-growing intelligence, we cannot be applying a measure that
by its very definition seeks to trace an invariant.”
