> I think you're severely underestimating the importance of emotional intelligence.

I don't mean to suggest that social intelligence didn't play an important role in the evolution of real general intelligence as we know it. (I define RGI as a GI that evolved through natural processes and without direct intervention of higher level GI). I wanted to keep an open mind about things though. My goal was to try and reduce factors that relate to intelligence on earth so that I might be able to say something about what factors are in fact a prerequisite to AGI.

Do you like sci-fi? Have you read Pandora's Star? If you like sci-fi, but have not read said book, then I recommend that you consider putting it in your queue. You might find the Primes to be a believable vector to RGI. A vecto that I believe challenges human bias about GI and what it takes to reach past a class I civilization.

Love the discussion, thank you for your thoughts.
