At the same time, put a human baby in a sensory deprivation chamber for 20 years, with no contact to the outside world. Neither the HDD or the deprived human have the capacity to form a worldview. If intelligence is the ability to detect patterns in observations, then both the raw data and intelligence are required to make something meaningful. It's even arguable that the Flynn effect is a consequence of information being more freely available, thus boosting pattern matching capability. | |
