Excessive development of mental abilities to anything good will not

No matter how tempting the idea did not seem to empower people superintelligence, at her opponents are always convincing arguments.



Neurobiologist Mark Changizi and philosopher Mark Walker devoted to the study of this question enough time. The researchers said that excessive activity of thought processes fraught with human maladjustment, antisocial behavior, and even psychosis.

Now that all aspire to infinite knowledge and improve the performance of the human brain, and Walker Changizi tell a different story: the increase in mental abilities do not forget about the development of such qualities as empathy or sympathy.

According to Mark Walker, a high level of IQ is not enough to achieve a lot in life. His colleague, Genghis, in turn, suggests that many mean by intelligence solution of logical problems, or a game of chess, although the brain performs many other functions invisible to us.

The intelligence of every person is different - someone shows mathematical ability, but did not know how to write poetry, and the other, for example, a brilliant writer, but absolutely does not think in physics or chemistry. In addition, there are concepts such as morality, too, are an integral part of the human mind.

Walker convinced that selective brain development does not give any positive result, but will create additional difficulties in the socialization of the individual - in other words, acquired the ability to mentally unprepared person can use in order inappropriate.

According to Mark Walker, there is one way to avoid such deviant behavior "geeks" - along with the intellectual qualities to bring in the "geniuses" modesty and self-criticism. He believes that the human brain simply can not cope with the increased volumes of data that can lead to mental disorder.

Changizi intends to use hidden resources of the brain, for example, to better navigate the unfamiliar terrain, while the theory of Walker aimed at studying the secret of finding happiness.
