People seem to have a very limited idea of what intelligence is. What, exactly, do you think intelligence is?

I can assure you that 99.99% don't have the kind of intelligence that is needed to for the kind of solutions our world needs.

The sheer complexity of what needs to be done involves the following:

Understanding and taking into consideration the broad spectrum of different types of peoples. Some people require stimulation and competition. Others require simple living. Some people have very limited capacity and are disabled. Other people have can think on their feet and react with the speed of light. I can give you a 100% guarantee that absolutely no one with average intelligence can design an economic system that will be able to take the full spectrum of human needs and desires and marry it to a system that will not harm our planet further, plus return it to a state it needs to be so that weather and our eco-system supports us.

What we need is a group of the worlds's best scientists to spell out the problems from all perspectives, and then to sit with systems people and figure out a strategy.

Please explain to me what it is that you think that intelligent people don't understand.

I'm not going to use other words. I insist that it is intelligence. One cannot grasp the million complexities of human beings, our climate, our eco-system, the many different species, without heightened intelligence. It's not possible.
