You know, I went to the zoo this week, and I had a very amusing experience there. I saw a baby chimpanzee hanging on the fence, so me and my friends walked up close to him, and I wanted to take a picture so I tried to grab my phone in my paper bag, and then the baby chimpanzee heard the sound of my snack in there crumpling and then he reached his hand to me demanding the snack. So I made this sort of "Creation of Adam" moment with him, as you see in the pictures, in which I look kind of ugly btw. It's the angle. I don't originally look like that. Anyway, basically all animals have intelligence like that, or possibly, all lives do. Life creates an organism, known as the smallest contiguous unit of life. And when an organism starts living and accumulating their experiences from that, it begins to construct a coherent intellectual system inside. The brain especially works as the physical center of that process for animals, which is why animals can lead more intellectual life than plants, bacteria, or others, and we humans carried this fuction to a much higher level throughout the history. We can analyze our experiences, calculate them, interpret them and even apply them to other matters, and so on. The accumulation of those abilities lead to the development of knowledge, which made all this civilization possible. Everything comes from life and therefore it's actually all connected to life, if you think about the natural process of all this development. That's why the call for the integrated intelligence is historically AND naturally significant in this very age. The integrated intelligence has a bigger meaning than just academical interdisciplinarity. It's about simply how we lead our lives. The baby chimpanzee I met and other non-human animals only use their intelligence for basic life matters, such as what to eat and where to sleep. But what makes human intelligence special is not just its complexity, but more importantly its purpose. We all want to build something. We have to achieve something in our lives. That's why humans talk goals, dreams, plans, and wishes. And furthermore, some of them even developed more dramatically abstract systems out of that tendency, involving spirit, soul, or gods. The integrated intelligence is meant to connect this human desire to reach the ultimate purpose, with the accumulated legacy of knowledge, so we could live to the fullest as our life as humans is meant to turn out. I personally find this job to be my fundamental calling I should dedicate myself to. Now I'm a songwriter and artist, but I originally began from a typical nerd. Like, I really liked reading basically everything in library since I was a kid, I loved to think for hours, and I wanted to be someone like a philosopher. And to this day, I have this natural burning desire inside as a human to be able to see the better ways to go. Because we were not just born on this planet. When we are born, it means that we've been SENT to this specific era by a meaning. All humans of the previous generations who worked hard to pass their knowledge and wisdom on to us, the future generation, will finally come alive again through us on a new cultural horizon. Because this is the age of the integrated intelligence. It's the matter of potential of humanity. Simply put, who we are, and who we will be. Let's participate in this journey together that's continued since thousands of years ago. Thank you.
