The Zero Factor

When society judges people whether they are successful or not by the number of zeros they have accumulated in their bank accounts—when hundredaires and thousandaires are normally overlooked and looked down while millionaires and billionaires are noticed and respected (or even worshipped).

What differentiates the rich and the famous from the poor and the notorious on this side of heaven is not just the fear factor but also the zero factor.

Hard Problem of the G Factor

The statistical reality that performance on diverse cognitive tests tends to correlate, suggesting a single, underlying general intelligence factor (*g*). The hard problem is figuring out what *g* physically is in the brain. Is it neural processing speed? Efficient connectivity? Working memory capacity? Or is it just a mathematical phantom emerging from the way we design tests? It's the hunt for the biological engine of intellectual horsepower, separate from specific skills or knowledge.

Example: "Neuroscientists found a correlation between *g* and prefrontal cortex efficiency. But the hard problem of the g factor remains: Is that efficiency the cause of general intelligence, or just another symptom of a deeper, still-mysterious root? It's like finding a bigger battery in smarter people, but not knowing what the battery actually powers." Hard Problem of the G Factor
