How do we find good tricks-whether in nature, science, or society? Why is intelligence not just about knowing things but about navigating constraints? And what if the search for goodness itself is just an ongoing, open-ended process-one that, like evolution, must stumble before it soars?
In Intelligence Unbound, Georgy Iashvili takes the reader on a journey through the evolution of intelligence, the emergence of selves and aims, and the fragile reality of human trust in an age of AI and ideological dogmatism. Drawing on the ideas of Daniel Dennett and Terrence Deacon, this book explores why progress-biological, technological, and moral-is never straightforward.
Deeply philosophical yet refreshingly irreverent, Intelligence Unbound is a celebration of the messy, imperfect, yet profoundly meaningful search for the good-one that neither nature nor humanity can afford to abandon.
