      Our intelligence is about as general as our senses and our motor affordances: it has a high degree of generality within the scope of experiences and problems that humans encounter -- a thin slice of reality. Replaced in its broader context, it is extremely specialized.

      Exactly like our body & senses. We can perceive a slice of the EM spectrum, certain chemicals in the air we breathe, soundwaves, etc. We can run on land, climb mountains, swim across rivers. But thinking that this is all there is to the universe -- that's a deficit of imagination

      It is, more accurately, all there is to *our* universe.

      Our intelligence is specialized for the same reasons that our sensorimotor affordances are specialized: it evolved in a very specific context. It is general within this context -- not applicable anywhere else. It wouldn't be reasonable to expect universality from adhoc mutations.

          If anything, the amazing thing is how well we have been able to understand the universe beyond our direct perception.

          The "specific context," for example, vision, is "the light spectrum absorbed and sensed by organic material." Which is a very narrow spectrum. Photoreceptor cells could have easily, and probably did, evolve multiple times.

          You are correct. Photoreceptors and eyes with retinas have evolved multiple times.

          Our reasoning seems to be closely connected to our senses and abilities to manipulate objects around us. However, we are capable of simulating a great deal more than that, like all of mathematics. Isn't it possible that our thinking is universal in this way?

          We have more than general intelligence, that's what is called imagination and that's why art directors and authors come up with wild imagination in their books which is beyond the environment they can look and feel.

          talink about intelligence is always an awe.. realizing such amazing design required a designer.. cannot be the result of random events.
