Turgonian, it was stupid unintelligent decisions that allowed German national socialism to regain military power; they were supposed to be disarmed after WW1. The Nazi's wouldn't have had to be beaten if the so-called intelligent leaders in Europe had enforced the rules signed at Versailles. I do ag...

You did not answer the question. Define unintelligence if you wish, but the answer is simply yes or no. You have changed the parameters. You first asked whether it takes intelligence to identify non-intelligence , now you change it to the term to unintelligence . I agree with Turgonian , that there...

Humans sin by nature, ... All you have done is give a definition of what you think is sin, and that only in the view of one religion. What is the point your trying to make though, do you believe that intelligence itself equals perfection? Is there anything perfect? ... You are repeating an assertio...

Viator, the problem is defining intelligence. Good point, we do have difficulty in defining the meaning of the word intelligence. It becomes even more difficult when one attempts to define what is an intelligent species. If you can define intelligence by the complexity and ability humans are capabl...

Re: Humans not intelligent species
I think you're confusing the concept of "perfect" with "intelligence." ... Perfect has a completely different meaning than intelligence. I would not call any biological species perfect, certainly not homo sapiens. Even if we were intelligent enough to do so, we do not have enoug...

Humans not intelligent species
I have come to the conclusion that considering humans to be an intelligent species is an ego-centric view. Put the terms "intelligent species" into your favorite search engine to find the various views on my contention. There is not a day that goes by that human actions confirm unintellige...

Planck's dimensional analysis
The initial post on this topic presented some simplistic concepts on how our mathematical system developed. The evolution of the symbolic representation of a numeric value allowed individuals to examine concepts involving physical science relationships that used symbols exclusively and this was exte...

There is a very important difference between the value of a quantity and the unit it is expressed in. ... the actual length is invariant. I agree with that statement completely. I do not call the actual length of the 1H hyperfine transition emission wavelength secular, it only becomes secular when ...

Re: Arbitrary units
There is a difference between a measured value and a defined value. The speed of light is defined to be 299 792 458 m/s and that is what it is, there are no other non-zero digits. Since the value of c is a definition, it is by definition accurate and precise to as many significant figures as one ca...
