My Plan
At this point, it should be clear that the purpose of this book is to construct a comprehensive system of thought and theory, which I call intelligenism. What intelligence is, what constitutes an intelligent agent, and what intelligenism entails cannot be fully explained in this preface; these concepts will be explored in depth in subsequent chapters.
The goal of this book is to thoroughly elucidate the Thinking, Conception, and Construction of Intelligenism. The content will progress from reflections and logical deductions related to intelligenism (1) to introducing its visions and concepts (2) and ultimately presenting organizational construction methods for applying intelligenism in commercial contexts (3). This progression aims to clearly articulate the Thinking, Conception, and Construction of Intelligenism.
After completing the initial draft, I will continue to refine and expand the content, striving to make the theoretical system more robust over time and through practical application. Once the draft is finalized, I will gradually open discussions, organizing questions, answers, and debates related to each chapter, which will serve as valuable sources for future revisions. If necessary, I may produce videos to lower the barrier to understanding the content.
As a pragmatist, I do not wish for intelligenism to remain a purely theoretical or utopian concept, nor do I want it to serve as a mere consolation for the disillusioned. My pursuit is the practical value of this theoretical system, with its realization in practice as the ultimate goal. This book is merely the beginning of that process, not its end. As the theoretical framework nears completion, I plan to use intelligenism to establish intelligent collective organizations and conduct commercial experiments. The content of this book will serve as the theoretical foundation for these organizations, while their operations will provide opportunities to observe the development and evolution of intelligenism and intelligent collectives in practice. The real-world value of any “-ism” should be tested and refined through social practice, which will also provide material and feedback for future expansions of intelligenism-related content.
