All the talks, theories, principles work in a context. Without a context it will not have any meaning. I was thinking on the importance of knowledge. Do we need to acquire knowledge? Contextually, yes. Say, I want to go from my home to my office. Then, I must know the ways. The routes. The buses, etc. So, the knowledge is definitely required in order to go from my home to my office. There is no second thought about it. But, going to office is a need, so I need knowledge of the routes. That means "need creates knowledge". Whosoever had said "necessity is the mother of invention" must be a genius. If Albert Einstein is genius, then that must be the demand of the society at that time. Why there was no Einstein in the Jesus time. If the society doesn't need intelligence for it's execution, intelligent people will not be produced. This is very simple. Not a matter of surprise that Shakespeare was in the 16th century.
This post was incomplete. Completing it now.
What is the relationship between intelligence and knowledge? Intelligence is born out of this moment. Knowledge is a kind of history. Something, you've done in the past, so you know about it. Knowledge is essentially a memorable experience in that past. Intelligence go on with the present moment. Out of present moment intelligence arise. Like a child. Child doesn't carry any past, no imagination of future. Just this moment. Word "intelligence" is corrupted now-a-days. Normally, the more educational qualification you have, the more intelligent you are termed. That's not true. I bet none of your action is yours. It's all programmed by the society. None of your thoughts is actually yours. It comes from society. Society has made you to think like the way you think, thinking that it's your thinking. But actually, it's thinking of the society. A massive programming has been done in you. This is the trick of the society to create slaves.
Think about computers. What is happening? We are putting so much of intelligence in the computer. Why? Because we don't want to carry our own intelligence. So, we are making computer intelligent. Instead of we remembering our tasks, computers do it. So, definitely we want to get rid of carrying our own intelligence. Why so much of automation? A day will come when human intelligence will not be needed. Everything will be fully automated. And machine intelligence will overpower human intelligence. However, human has consciousness which machine doesn't. Computer has no fears, no worry, no future, no sorrow, no kids but human has all of them. You know exactly what - we have become like a machine less efficient than machines. Kasparov, the best brain in the chess lost to Deep Blue, a computer program made by IBM. What is the future of human intelligence? Medical science is going to develop too much. It will become the most advanced engineering on the earth. Bio scientist are working on genetic level. Which somehow allow them to alter human behavior. I don't know how, but they do. By doing some programming in DNA. Fate of humans lies into the development of computer engineering and medical engineering. On one side the computers are taking away all the intelligence humans possess, and on the other side medical science is going to alter human behavior in any way they want. This extremely dramatic situation puts a strong question mark on the existence of human. What will you do when computer engineering and medical engineering will converge? What will be your identity? How will you be described? Trust me you would be hardly left with anything. Because everything will be programmed. The world will be full of machines. Even human beings will be also reduced to machines with minimum programmed functionality. Constraints will start tightening from many directions and human race would behave extremely erratic leading to war. So, it's extremely essential that our consciousness which is unaltered by any engineering must rise in proportion with all the scientific development.
