Intelligence and Longevity

The system of the brain, intelligence and deep features the very definition of the word "consciousness" has not been studied thoroughly. But we know one thing: without a brain, a person cannot live. We cannot talk about intelligence, as a necessary factor in maintaining longevity. Intelligence is a tool, a more qualitative than quantitative.

Here is a simple example. Accelerate the work of the primate brain (monkeys, dogs, pigs) even in 1000 times; we do not make "humanization" intelligence. Features of our physiology, developed cortex and frontal parts, gave us the opportunity to realize themselves. This is our existence as separate, individual, unique personalities.

I draw your attention to a direction in immortalism and transhumanism as cryonics.           The human body will freeze after death, with the purpose of saving and further recovery. Priority part for conservation - give to head.

The outlook "Transhumanism" has several directions for further evolution of man, such as the transference of consciousness into a computer, the merger with artificial intelligence and the creation of a common information space. When you transfer or merger of the human intellect, in the development process, it could be divided into

1. The stage of the weak over intelligence

2. Step over strong intelligence

First - acceleration of elementary processes of gathering and interpreting information.

The second - a mindset that is too difficult to imagine a person in the modern form of existence. So, as hard as an ant to understand humans.

Now the development of intelligence is the ability to proactively protect against diseases associated with old age, disease or brain disorders and a wide range of intellectual field of activity.

Training the brain, in theory, further simplify the process of synthesis and evolution of mankind. It makes it easier to adapt to the world around technology. (For more on this, see the speech David Iglmen “Can we create new senses for humans?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c1lqFXHvqI ).

Intelligence is what distinguishes us from the animals, and if we do not cultivate it, this will not just a stupidity, but the act of incivility towards nature.
