Faced with fundamental questions whose answers carry real consequences, human groups often reach for a cheap proxy rather than engage the hard thing in earnest. A fashionable old move. And the higher the stakes, the more tempting it is to go down that path. In 1967, a field that couldn't answer a hard question about the nature of intelligence did something easier instead: it beat the man asking it at a game of chess, and called the matter closed. The philosopher was Hubert Dreyfus. The proxy was a chess match. The question is still open. https://lnkd.in/dMdCBicq
