How Intelligent are We?
How much of what we know is learned? How much is instinct?
If one was to put a baby boy into one room and a baby girl into another, feeding them through an IV until they were old enough to feed themselves, then feeding them through magical appearances of food during the middle of the night after that, what would they do? If they were clothed would they figure out that they could take off their clothes? What would they do about using the bathroom?
If you put them into the same room, how would they react to the sight of another being? How would they communicate with each other? Would they touch each other? Would they feel an immediate attraction to each other? Would they realize that they have different parts? Would they utilize those parts?
What if you gave them dirt, seeds, and water instead of food? Would they figure out to plant the seeds and water them?
I wish someone would do this experiment. It’d be interesting to find out what happens.
