On intelligence & IQhttps://www.pscp.tv/w/b7DSEDFWR2p2cUFYUlllS098MWRSSlpta1BRck1HQiPaAXczH1pEGvCjxYyo-c89ueVAavqGxem6NWuLCoxZ …

There are “cognitive skills” that contribute to “intelligence”. So then the question is: are those skills a certain kind of knowledge that can be learned?
AFAICT some can be, and many probably cannot be *yet,* and others possibly can't be unless you alter the brain. But it's early days and hard to know. Can aphantasiacs learn to create mental imagery? Not yet, maybe in the future (many have visual dreams!) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphantasia

It seems to me that the current emphasis on cognitive speed probably confuses the issue. Are there any items on an IQ test that a typical person with an average score would *never* be able to solve even if they really wanted to and could spend days or weeks or months trying?

IQ is a reasonably good snapshot of a person’s working knowledge, processing speed, etc. in generalized yet still very specific domains — one of which is spatial manipulation, which you mentioned. A person’s ability to solve such a problem is highly dependent on practice!

Some things some people can do, in principle others cannot...on that view. So the human mind is *not* universal, then.

I taught myself. Had to start with lines and go from there.
