Thankfully, we don't understand things solely via our individual minds, but via our "extended cognition" infrastructure, which is externalized and collective (science itself is a good example of extended cognition). We can understand systems much more complex than ourselves.https://twitter.com/htoyryla/status/1388937931356839943 …
An individual mind is a small subroutine in a sprawling problem-solving, understanding-generation mechanism that extends across continents and centuries. Civilization, as we call it. It's this mechanism that implements human intelligence in its true form.
When we say "humans are intelligent because they can do XYZ", we usually mean that this mechanism -- civilization -- has developed solutions for XYZ, and that individual humans are able to copy those solutions.
Define "define."
... and language is fundamental to this extended externalized collective cognition.
Spiders apparently encode logic and behavioral 'decisions' in webs. They need to know how to build a useful web, and then interpret some set of signals, rather than needing to be able to observe and interpret the events that are sensed by a web.https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-thoughts-of-a-spiderweb-20170523/ …
This explains (though perhaps not correctly) why it is impossible to fool a spider to come from the center of a web by tweaking that web.
I'm curious if you have read/have thoughts on Godel, Escher, Bach by D. Hofstadter. His understanding of systems that are self-referencing (especially consciousness and language) has been fascinating.
François, you are correct in your assesment that most of our intelligence is externally propagated and evolved have you by any chance seen this idea of memetics:http://wearehostsformemes.com
I do not think so... if you think about it, the systems we understand today are far less complex than ourselves
