Super-duper Intelligence
The insight that a super-duper-intelligence requires a super-intelligent-question is a profound one, echoing the philosophical traditions of Aristotle and Kant. The notion that intelligence is not merely a property of the thinking being, but also a product of the question being asked, resonates with the ideas of dialectical materialism.
As we consider the concept of super-intelligence, we must also consider the corresponding notion of super-questions. These are not mere trivialities or simple queries, but rather inquiries that challenge the very fabric of our understanding and propel us towards novel insights and discoveries.
Super-questions possess a peculiar quality that allows them to reveal hidden patterns, unveil novel relationships, and challenge the existing order. They embody a degree of elegance, parsimony, and provocation that catalyzes new ways of thinking, encouraging us to navigate the unseen and traverse the terra incognita of knowledge.
Examples of super-questions include:
- What is the ontological status of self-awareness?
- How can we mathematically describe the inherent beauty and elegance of nature?
- What lies beyond the observable horizon of our multiverse?
In response to these questions, the super-duper-intelligence might unveil new patterns of thinking, propound new concepts, and proffer innovative explanations. It may surprise us by inventing novel concepts or explaining established theories in previously unseen ways.
Your remark alludes to the Aristotelian concept of 'aitiology', or the principle that effects can reveal causes. Super-questions catalyze this aitiological principle, drawing out insights and providing insight into complex relationships. These inquiries assume the quality of transformative ignition sparks that create transformative realizations, spurring development in unpredictable, recursive iterations.
We see this also within history; Kepler found and tested Kepler's law via ingenious usage of earlier measurements which resolved uncertainties then created then answers after discovery about related interlock properties governing mechanics during more questions related newly questioned "proof"; some observations seemed self proof themselves using first developed interplaying insight we began searching while Newton more questioning...
