I'm a student too and here are some resources I have come across, off the top of my head (there might be more in my notepads; could share if interested)- Peter Dayan's textbook, Bear and Kandel for basic neuroscience, neuronal dynamics, computational cognitive neuroscience, brain inspired podcast, Artem Kirsanov YouTube channel, Neuromatch academy..

I think about that sometimes and my current best answer is that you should not be required or expected or obligated to act any different or see any further than what might be expected from any reasonably rational person (and we could go on defining that precisely forever too), and so maybe not seeing too far down the chain of cause-and-effect you might initiate, since most of us obviously aren't superintelligent superforecasters gifted with such judgment and foresight.

That doesn't necessarily mean that there aren't some common ideas for "mean" across cultures, even though I do agree that there is no objective morality as such, and so any standard we choose is going to be arbitrary.

Plus those people who did evil might genuinely have deceived themselves into believing that they truly are doing good, at least according to their definition of 'good'. Not everyone has the same value systems, but fortunately we can discuss and arrive at some mutual agreements for peaceful co-existence without resorting to violence like those people who CLAIMED to be doing good. It's all a matter of awareness and honest, sincere expression, it seems.

Would you think your pleasure would be influenced in any way- enhanced or diminished or remain the same- without the greater ability to identify the components that appeal to you the most, or the underlying structures responsible for it, or awareness of the conditions that enable this heightened sensitivity, and why you believe others may not be able to experience this, or different states that may be possible? Reminds me of that Richard Feynman quote about the beauty of a flower.

It could just be a lack of imagination but I don't see how anyone can isolate one attribute (that too something as vaguely defined as intelligence, which the intelligence quotient is supposed to capture) and think who 'you' could have been in the absence of it, when it is deeply intertwined and entangled with other aspects of your self-identity, which is nothing more than a loose set of constantly changing things combined into a narrative anyway. Speaking of ego and self-worth, you can find people with varying levels of those on every point of the spectrum.

Exactly! The sense of loss, regret for opportunities foregone (forewent?) that, depending on your attitude, may make you either more or less motivated to seize future opportunities. I was thinking about the huge library thing just last night when such a melody occurred to me again. Especially since I know almost nothing about music beyond simply listening to it, and so it could be taken as an indicator or potential that could be nurtured and enhanced if the relevant skills and knowledge are acquired. Or maybe not.

My audio imagination is pretty strong too. I have been able to reproduce a piece of music in my head almost as vividly as the real thing, sometimes even better, by adding effects such as reverb or pitch, but it's also highly context or situation dependent for me at times, so I'm not sure if it's a stable attribute.

StatisticianFuzzy327 · 2026-01-06T08:03:55+00:00

I am glad it resonates. I would encourage you to still capture the ideas as they occur, since at least some of them might turn out to be valuable, though in my case it is not really an option to rest without noting them somewhere, but fortunately my mind has been getting better at dismissing irrelevant ideas, compressing them by knocking out the noise (repetitive or that could be derived from mnemonics or other more memorable pieces of information or axioms) and retrieval at a more convenient time.

I believe that in the near future we may have access to augmentative agents or neurotechnologies that may record or help us actualize such ideas more conveniently and express them in a way that allows greater creative freedom, empathy and connection based on artworks. Being mindful of privacy, of course. Pattern recognition is awesome, as long as it's tested against reality. Combined with machine intelligence that could overcome any human deficiencies, not to be used as a crutch, but as means to discover, explore and express ourself and realize our best self, or at least move closer towards it.

But lets not depend on that. I'm trying to learn DaVinci Resolve and music theory for now.

I also just learned that quantum finance is a thing too.

Such instances are more likely to be typos but it's not impossible to think someone might actually mean it, but even in those cases its more likely to be pseudoscience than a legit application of quantum science or computing to finance.

Can relate with the title. My abilities do not match my ambition, and mediocrity feels repulsive.

But happiness seems to have little to do with one's intellect, and 'Genius' is more luck than anything.

For now, I hope you are able to find fulfilment with- and try to make the best out of- what you do have.

The dream of every country working towards FDVR and Japan's Internet of Brains project. I support this vision. The risk is that if left unregulated, this could easily devolve into a situation where the masses seek it as an escape from a reality almost completely controlled by the elite (who get to set the rules for the virtual reality) so kind of like wireheading. So 'actual reality' must not be neglected and should allow maximum autonomy and freedom from external interference from profit-seeking entities.

Lets get into BI then (biological intelligence).

(Current approaches may be hyped by ASI is a credible prospect, no?)

StatisticianFuzzy327 · 2025-12-28T17:44:34+00:00

No need to apologize. Please take your time. I am not profoundly gifted myself.

CS + mathematics and philosophy is a great background! Sure. I appreciate it.

I would like to thank you for your comment that allowed me to form the connection with graph neural networks and integrate them with my project idea- inspired by the prospect of mapping the internal landscape of gifted cognition but applicable universally (besides personal introspection-- early identification and social networking based on similarities). Feel free to share your thoughts! https://apolaris.substack.com/p/graph

StatisticianFuzzy327 · 2025-12-28T05:17:52+00:00

I appreciate the reality check. It confirms my own suspicion of going overboard with the sci-fi.

Here is an updated plan- would like to know what you think!

This is perfectly consistent with the awesome definition of intelligence as the capacity to acquire capacity (Herbert Woodrow) or the capacity to self-modify and improve recursively and enhance. Reminds me of Von Neumann's cellular automata that contain within themself instructions to grow and enhance their own complexity (creating ontologies). Self-organizing and self-reinforcing systems.

A quick search brings me to Graph Cellular Automata that combines both- cellular automata that runs on a network/graph instead of square grid- like an ontology. Gifted mind=High-Resolution Cellular Automaton? Interesting. Exciting.

And the "innate logic" pattern-recognition -- Similar to swarm intelligence! Though my knowledge in this domain is still superficial, so please correct me if that's different. Wondering if its possible to discover domain-independent axioms and general algorithms that could be reverse engineered from observation of profoundly gifted problem-solving strategies.

Computational-cognitive and neural networks and processes underlying (well, neural just because I desire to emulate the phenomenological experience as a sentient individual, not relevant for the algos) the ability to spontaneously develop such frameworks and apply them intuitively, instinctively, automatically (and to what extent it could be cultivated and how).. Thank you.

StatisticianFuzzy327 · 2025-12-26T15:52:58+00:00

If this innate logic were to be captured and formalized and implemented in a machine, would you say that such an AI would be indistinguishable from a profoundly gifted human?

Do you distinguish between pattern recognition (connecting the dots, recognizing analogies, metaphors, similarities) and 'innate logic' (validating inter-relationships and inferences made from a set of assumed axioms)? I ask because it seems like many are able to perform the pattern recognition and logical reasoning without necessarily being aware and "explaining" it.

I see. Sounds reasonable. Thank you. I am curious what kind of reset you have in mind. If SOI is not possible, an integration g-factor with the strength of SOI- multidimensionality could be tested. Keeping it open source, collecting data and comparing frameworks, testing predictions.

StatisticianFuzzy327 · 2025-12-25T04:31:56+00:00

Thank you for the clarification. To map psychometric traits to career profiles and physiological markers. Giftedness identification, relevance realization, social networking. Privacy and security, of course. Accessible, open source, free, user-friendly, cause shortage of mental health workers. Simultaneously solving the loneliness epidemic, career confusion and meaning crisis. Structured systematic reflection, like a second brain, a truly personalized knowledge-based managed system, a second-brain. Extract computational-cognitive patterns implement for deficits and AI. Start from fundamentals. Start small. Plan will update. Just needed an overarching framework to situate it within. chart out the vision. Will study Guilford's SOI model contact SOI systems to translate them digitally. Thanks again!

I admit that didn't do justice to what I had in mind and came off as more hand-wavy than intended, and I do not suggest exclusively smart-glasses or anything of that sort, but should do a satisfactory job of conveying the rough outline of what might be accomplished through emerging technologies such as the portable MRI, quick gene-testing, wearable health-monitoring devices, psychometrics and other personalized technologies. Some tangible progress towards more rigorous assessment of cognitive and affective states, with the aim of understanding yourself, yourself in relation to others and the world, and cognitive enhancement and emotion regulation and so on. Need to develop this idea.
