Unterschiedliche Wertigkeiten von Information / Different Values of Information:

https://meinnaturwissenschaftsblog.blogspot.com/2020/09/unterschiedliche-wertigkeiten-von.html

Überspitzt ausgedrückt:

Das Gehirn des Mitmenschen beherbergt Information. Und manche dieser Informationen sind für uns tausendfach wertvoller als manch andere dieser Informationen.

In manchen Gesprächen teilt der Mensch sein kostbarstes Wissen, seine kostbarsten Gedanken, Erinnerungen, Erlebnisse, etc.

-----

Put somewhat pointedly:

The brain of another person contains information. And some of this information is a thousand times more valuable to us than certain other pieces of information.

In some conversations, a person shares their most precious knowledge, their most precious thoughts, memories, experiences, etc.

Intelligenz / Intelligence:

https://meinnaturwissenschaftsblog.blogspot.com/2020/10/intelligenz_3.html

Wie wichtig ist Intelligenz bzw. Denkbegabung letztlich? Und was gibt es neben der Intelligenz bzw. der Denkbegabung alles noch?

Als Erstes würde mir da die "emotionale Ansprechbarkeit" oder "Schwingungsfähigkeit" einfallen.

Der Ausprägungsgrad der Intelligenz, in dem Sinn, legt fest, wie wirksam eine Person Phänomene der Um- und Innenwelt unter Kategorien bringen kann.

Die "emotionale Ansprechbarkeit" als die Fähigkeit, Äußeres oder Inneres als Wert zu erleben. Angesprochen zu werden und anzusprechen. Zu lieben, zu hassen. Freude und Schmerz zu erleben. Mit dem Herzen an Menschen, Dingen und Ideen zu hängen.

-----

How important is intelligence, or mental ability, ultimately? And what else exists besides intelligence or mental ability?

The first thing that comes to mind for me is "emotional responsiveness" or "capacity for resonance."

The degree of intelligence, in this sense, determines how effectively a person can classify phenomena of the external and internal world.

"Emotional responsiveness," on the other hand, is the ability to experience what is external or internal as value. To be addressed and to address. To love, to hate. To experience joy and pain. To be attached with one’s heart to people, things, and ideas.

Belief versus Action:

https://meinnaturwissenschaftsblog.blogspot.com/2025/03/belief-systems-versus-actions-efficacy.html

Alexander:

"Some people seem to live in a mental world, where the way they define themselves their identity is largely based upon what they think, feel, and believe. For example, “I am an anarcho-communist,” “I am a Trump supporter,” or “I am red pilled.” Others define themselves more by what they do or have done: “I am a landscaper,” “I am a husband” or “I am a sailor.” Really easy to get into Group 1, because it doesn’t actually require anything. You basically just get in-group membership by claiming it. “I believe the right thing.” Almost like putting on a costume. A lot of these people need to work on shifting themselves into Group 2 - an identity based on real-world accomplishments and behaviors."

"So zu lesen und zu studiren, daß es sich immer ansezt, kan ich rathen, obgleich die Welt nicht an mir den Nutzen dieses Rathes sieht, ich gebe ihn nicht weil ich ihn durch häufige Erfahrung nützlich befunden habe, sondern, weil ich jezt sehe und deutlich, daß ich ihn hätte befolgen sollen."
