Thu Mar 17 13:48:28 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> and this is why neither ethics nor iqs are a thing.

Thu Mar 17 13:47:53 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> will may give restrictions of domain upon which an intelligence function may be constructed so it's coherent, but this then doesn't provide a method to justify the will upon which the whole construction is based.

Thu Mar 17 13:46:44 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> this underscores the principal point about intelligence, which is to say that it is an ex post facto construction outside the object, and consequently it can not either be objective, or objectively measured.
