@traders Poll to resolve the market: /singer/what-is-the-best-definition-of-inte-ZytSS626dh

@singer Oops, the poll hadn't ended yet. I think the result is still pretty clear, though.

bought Ṁ25 NO

@singer By this logic was Nikola Tesla dumb?

bought Ṁ50 YES

Is the bear stupid because it can't do math? Also "getting what you want" and "achieving goals" are basically the same answer

Imagine not putting relationships as an answer.

@MaybeNotDepends it's open for anyone to put answers.

There are many kinds of intelligence, but the most important one, in my opinion, is being able to predict the consequences of one's actions accurately.

@Soli it requires you to have accurate mental models / assumptions / "truths" - truth serves life so something is true if it helps you better predict the consequences of your actions
