Humans aren't ants. They can in fact apply their intelligence to alternative "fields". This idea that you can only use your knowledge in one specialized are is idiotic. I would say your intelligence is incredibly low if you think this. If we were unable to do this as a species we would have been wiped out long ago. Specialization is a modern mindset.

I said "apply their expertise" to other fields, not "apply their intelligence". There's a big difference between incorrectly attempting to apply specific knowledge of one domain to another, and using your general intelligence to become proficient in a field. > I would say your intelligence is incredibly low if you think this.

I’ll probably be downvoted for pointing this out but I feel like it’s important. 90% of the comments at the time of my posting this are great examples of the logical fallacy a lot of intelligent people fall into where they think their intelligence in one area means they’re qualified to make assessments or reach conclusions in fields outside of their own. This would be the same error in judgment that’s turned the noot…

Case in point; mice still haven't reached immortality, nor taken over the world. Despite the numerous published articles regarding the innumerable wonder cures, miracle habits, and other panaceas, we have found for them.
