I have worked with a number of students over the years, and the best way to encourage them to become better thinkers is to make them aware of the general factors (eg, intelligence, personality, personality, personality, etc) that are influencing their thoughts.
It’s not just that we all have these general factors. We also have different levels of intelligence, so we can be influenced to behave differently by these factors. For example, I was taught that it was good to smile and laugh when someone is angry because the emotion will create a bigger smile and more laughs.
The ability to recognize the general factors on a person’s personality and behavior is a good thing, but it is also a good thing to recognize the differences in a person’s intelligence. For example, a person with an IQ of 120 is probably not going to be as smart as a person with an IQ of 110.
There is a wide range of intelligence between 110 and 130. An IQ of 110 is considered average and 120 is considered sub-average, and 130 is considered super-average. These are very different concepts and it is very important to recognize them for what they are.
From the perspective of G, people with IQs in the range of 120 to 130 are much smarter than those with IQs in the range of 110 to 120. So what that means is that if you have a lot of IQ points, your personality or how you act is going to be much more important than your intelligence.
G is the general factor of intelligence, and it is important from his point of view as he is a generalist. He has the ability to master a number of things, so that makes him a generalist. But he has a tendency to generalize. G makes a lot of assumptions about himself, and when he does it is often based on very little information. So if he believes he knows everything about himself, then he is likely to be wrong. And that can be dangerous.
Generalists are a little like people with ADD: They make mistakes. But more importantly, they need to learn from their mistakes because they can make them again. If you get the wrong idea about what generalists are like, you could be in a lot of trouble.
It’s easy to be a generalist, and you can be the smartest guy in the world. But it’s just as easy to be a generalist who is also dumb. And by that I mean, you can be the smartest guy in the world but also the dumbest.
I see this as one of those situations where the generalist is as smart as the generalist and the dumb generalist. In the video, G is seen as the generalist and is the one who’s on the island with Colt and the rest of the Visionaries. The generalist would be the one who has to be the smartest. But because of his generalist mindset, he makes the same mistake over and over again. And that’s when the real trouble starts.
G is shown to be the generalist on the island, but the generalist mindset leads him to try and manipulate the generalist. And because the generalist is so smart, he never realizes that the generalist is the manipulator. It just never gets any more obvious than when G is trying to get Colt to do something that he can’t possibly do.
