ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of The Tangent Gentlemen Grade the World, retired educators Scott Schneider and Brad Weston tackle a deceptively simple question: What is intelligence? Starting with human intelligence, the conversation quickly branches out—because of course it does—into how non-human animals think, whether plants can be said to “know” anything at all, and what artificial intelligence is actually doing when it appears smart. Along the way, Scott and Brad challenge assumptions, blur traditional boundaries, and wonder if our definitions say more about us than about intelligence itself. Expect thoughtful detours, big questions, and a few well-earned tangents as they attempt to grade one of the most slippery concepts in the world.
