Hawawesmek, they belong to the lecture halls You're mistaken. Take a look at the strong armies of the world, do they shun learning? Alexander the great was a philosopher, so was Genghis Khan, or Askia the great of Songhai. An army is driven by ideology, empires rest on ideologies. Sun Tzu doesn't demand obedience but intelligence and wisdom from his readers. You can't win a war without wisdom and knowledge. 'Putting two and two together'. On such circumstances I understand @Tycho, Is 'wisdom' (out of experience) synonymous with 'brightness' (sharpness)? I believe my grand father was very wise, but was he bright? Yes. The problem is we have been alienated from knowledge that we think there's a difference. 'Wisdom' here entails indigenous systems, 'brightness', 'assimilation'. Like a rat learning it's way in a maze. That's the problem.

How can a human being build something than is more intelligent that him/her. It then implies that if the robot can develop a problem then the human being won be able to notice or repair the problem. #forgivemeformyignorance# If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

The army hires someone to be soldier not for them to immediately take study leave and be away at university for 4yrs, sometimes doing irrelevant courses, and then leave the army for greener pastures when they graduate. Some organisations/companies do not also like employing top candidates because they will soon leave for further studies. Such candidates are never focused on the job and spend alot of company time and resources looking for scholarships and greener pastures.

This being the case, it can be assumed that they will continuously grow intelligent till they exceed humans intelligence
