The Philosophical Foundation of Intelligenism

The Greatest Common Denominator of Theoretical Adaptability Benefits

In an ideal individual or organizational collective, each entity would choose the theory set that maximizes its benefits (rational choice), achieving a state where the adaptability benefits of each individual’s theory set are maximized. However, in reality, constraints arise. Many individuals claim absolute truth for their theories, attempting to influence or control others to act according to these “truths,” disregarding the adaptability of others’ theories to their contexts. This prevents individuals and organizations from reaching optimal adaptability states, hindering the collective’s ability to achieve the greatest common denominator of theoretical adaptability benefits. I hope the Intelligenism framework enables me and others to create an organizational form that embraces diverse, benefit-driven theories, gradually approaching a state where the collective’s theoretical adaptability benefits are maximized. Later sections will propose schemes and ideas for achieving this.
