Intelligence does not live in a petri dish or laboratory or inside a single skull; it lives out in the open, it lives in and as our cities. A city is not just architecture plus dwellers; it is an artificial environment par excellence.
@johnverdon Snark aside though, yes. Intelligence among social creatures, such as humans, goes beyond individual brains. Brains are like nodes in a vast network of thought and identity running distributed among many minds.
It's where I live, anyway. :)
@johnverdon If the cities I have seen are par excellence, I'm a bit disappointed.
