The notion of IQ is so early 20th century. But the notion of an “Electoral College” is so early 19th century and the United States still uses it. Why? Because academic intelligence and the school performance that partly derives from it measure people’s ability to succeed within a given system, instead of to question whether the system even makes sense. So, we have lots of high-IQ citizens and people busily trying to succeed within a variety of failed systems.
In my book Adaptive Intelligence, I argue that we continue with traditional notions of intelligence at our peril. We need to think not just in terms of what works within a given system, but how we can adapt to changes in the environment to create new systems that will preserve humanity rather than letting it destroy itself. And if the pandemic of COVID-19 has not let people to question just how smart we are, wait until global warming starts to take its full toll. If the time is not now to revise our notions about intelligence, when is it?
