A problem with the idea of "intelligence" is that we tend to assume its necessarily positive quality. The more "intelligence" you have, the better. That's not necessarily the case. A better guide is to think of "fluid" intelligence as processing speed and "crystallised" intelligence as sedimented experience. The overall impact of these "two" intelligences is always their sum, and to suggest otherwise is an error. For example, in your example, Arthur was not reckoning ex nihilo when he stood on the pressure pad, he was using his experience poetically or metaphorically, i.e. by processing analogues and similarities, to come up with a novel solution. He may not have stood on a pressure pad previously, but he had garnered and stored experience that was tangentially relevant. However, faster processing speed is of little, no or even negative value if the sedimented knowledge you are working with is faulty, skewed, outmoded, or otherwise not fit for purpose. That is why some very "smart" people do very stupid things. Generally speaking, we are living in a culture in which our "fluid" intelligence (i.e. our processing speed) is massively accelerated by digital/computing technologies, but where our shared "crystallised" intelligence (i.e. our stock of received wisdom and accepted ideas) is inept and deathly. We're super-intelligent and super-self-destructive. There's no paradox, it's just that "intelligence", in and of itself, is of no benefit. To be advantageous, it must be allied to wisdom.
@DeepeyeLV
Love your videos, concise, clear and pleasant to watch :)
@TheWyrdSmythe
It sounds like just the difference between using knowledge versus using logic. Which is pretty fuzzy. Logic depends on knowledge, and applying knowledge requires logic. They’re two sides of one coin.
@williamfleming1386
This video starts with "There are arguably two types of intelligence." This is a statement intended to shut down any thought or questioning about how many types of intelligence there are. That there are two types of intelligence has not been proven. There could be more than two types of intelligence, or a range of intelligence based on more than two factors.
@dorganator
Intelligence is often a predicator of general career success..but also comes with the potential trappings of intellectual narcissism and/or life dissatisfaction with perceived under utilisation of personal potential.
@amirabile6338
Love the story at the end, well explained, thanks :)
@snippetsnackbooks-es
Awesome explanation. Keep the good work :)
@dewdew2460
I see resemblance to Carl Jung's study, the cognitive functions, it's like Si (crystallized) and Ni (Fluid).
@ramspace
Some human beings have such fluid intelligence that they succeed at finding the answer to how to remove suffering permanently. Isn't that the ultimate purpose of living?
@Fixion76
Everybody is running behind intelligence but I think that intelligence will only come when you study something when you research something when you read something regret guilt compassion all these things are experienced and this will give you intelligence in the present
@grapeshott
I still want some 'modern' criticisms to these theories which were brought in 1960s and 70s, to be explained briefly in the videos.
@djdigital3806
I’m an Electrical Engineering Technician. I am responsible for manufacturing process and fix the design flaws in the designed device. I might be both. Intelligence to me is the ability to build what you think.
@alive3589
loved the short video
@canadiannuclearman
I JUST TURNED 70 I AGREE IM ALWAYS LEARNING
@Ridwaanito
Her: can you think of a time you ysed your fluid and crystallized intelligence? Me: I'm using it right now
@Ravenite66
It's a good thing Indiana Jones had a solid fluid intelligence in Raiders of the Lost Ark, or it would've been a REALLY short film!😉
@pratimasingh7454
Brilliant explanation 🌻
@tokra8251
i really hope i can support you guys by making indonesia subtitle, because i wanted to teach but am stupid.
@Chaezaa
I had to take a 3-day test to give them an idea about my cognitive abilities. Based on the results my fluid intelligence is getting close to "gifted". Well, here i am, a 33 year old unemployed loner without a school degree. LOL
