Recently, in my ethics class a question was brought up if we had the choice, would we put a chip in our brain to make ourselves learn things quicker and process things faster?
My response to that was no, because I beleive that true intelligence is the ability to describe something which is complex in a simplistic way. The ability to spread the knowledge is far more valuable and far more intelligent than to keep the knowledge to ones self.
Putting everyone on the same level of knowledge being intelligent or less intelligent hinders the ability to articulate things that have been learned or discovered.
In the trade book that I am reading for this class, "Blink" the concept behind this book is that our instinctual reactions can tell much more then we think, in a sense with a BLINK of an eye something has told us who we are. It emphasizes the fact that preparation can be flawed (i.e Managerial Strategy and Planning.) for reasons such as setting a long term goal can affect the performance of a company negatively because of the lack of adjustment while planning. Instead, Malcolm Gladwell suggests that our instincts wether right or wrong can be more beneficial to us becuase it happens in the a split second with the flexiblity to adjust. A companies ability to adjust quickly can Definately reflect the difference between being in business and being out of business.
Gladwell does not directly draw parellels to business but rather through human behavior. I find it interesting that the concepts told through a personal perspective also have applied to a Business perspective.
for now,
I'm still reading.
