There seems to be something else driving the change? Something like the concept of entropy in the physical world. Something like reverse entropy for intelligence? Or is it just a sudden leap in evolution?
Living organisms had billions of years to become highly intelligent, why now and why humans?
Another thought.
If X, Y, and Z are dimensions, what are complex numbers (number with "imaginary" units)? Complex numbers do not describe imaginary things. They were named imaginary numbers or units because mathematicians could not describe them in dimensions of X, Y, and Z, which are all they knew at the time, several hundred years ago I think.
Not depicted in geometry like X, Y, and Z, but can be depicted as 90% rotation in a different dimension than X, Y, or Z.
The Schrodinger wave equation, which describes the energy and position of electrons in space and time, includes "i" (square root of -1). It is needed for the equation to work.
Encourage people to explore and learn? Benefits to productivity and intelligence of society should be exponentially greater than encouraging people to watch and read about violence and hate?
In the future, will universal basic wage be tied to attending public college courses of choice? 20%, or so, reduction for failing courses?
Automated farms, factories, work processes, analytics, and so on. Some companies are going to make a lot of money without many people. Imagine the future?
Encouraging children to be truthful and good has a lasting effect. Many people apparently have been encouraged to do so. More like encouraged to be rich and successful at all cost?
The video below agrees that evolution does not explain human consciousness in much stronger language.
