Feels like a different flavor of “intelligence” since one is problem solving focused (“how do a beat an unbearable for with minimal gear”) while the other is waiting for “triggers” and having “responses” ready (“I’m at my spot and need to wait for guy #2 to run past to drop the anvil”) and then not freezing if one of the triggers is slightly off.
So anyway, in general, both probably count as intelligence, but in this specific case, I think its worth differentiating one from the other. The best organizer/team player is not gonna stand out when working alone, while the most intelligent problem solver may not be able to work on a team.
Sure, but the thing is, humans dominate every known animal in both. The way primitive humans (probably) lived, they needed to be both competent at individual problem solving and group coordination.
But fair, it’s quite telling that this “human vs. t-rex” problem isn’t presented as a group effort, but as “one vs. one”. Many modern humans have deluded themselves into thinking that the greatest people work alone.
Eh, yes?
