Human IQ

For the species that enveloped and largely destroyed the blue planet, it does not look like a million years were sufficient to develop intelligence. The contemporary samples on display and their purported “leaders,” appear not to have much intelligence, defined as the ability to use information for the benefit of the system. The highly tolerant planet allowed a nearly brainless human survive long but that is unlikely to continue.

The only thing humans appear to be good at is segmentation. They specialized in it for ever as the concentric circles away from self showed exponential decline in value, driving them to less than 150 as the possible scope of love and influence. And anybody outside has to be hated or eliminated. As skin color dominates the “greatest countries on Earth,” and religion and communism, mental diseases that dominate the greatest from the past, it is clear that humans are devoid of any intelligence. Human intelligence may have peaked at inception and it has been on the decline ever since they walked out of the African Savannah.

Nearly any other biological entity, bacteria, wasps and ants included, are adept at system wide optimization, except humans. It is a curious phenomenon pointing to a disease of the organ, entrusted with decision-making. Is it the complexity that led to this suboptimal outcome? It has been evident that concentrated complexity has little utility and the human brain may be a good example. Some may point to such endeavors as art, literature and music as signs of intelligence. But they may be closer to a futile attempt at escape from boredom rather than signs of intelligence.

The math is simple. Those trying to measure their intelligence could save time by assuming it to be zero.
