Zero intelligence is a term used in economics, social and computer sciences to refer to simple artificial or programmed agents that act randomly subject to minimal constraints. It was introduced in an article published in the Journal of Political Economy in 1993, and has since found usage in other contexts.
Zero intelligence trading closely mimics stock market.
Gode and Sunder demonstrated that if one replaces the students in a standard classroom economics experiment by zero intelligence agents with a budget constraint, they perform surprisingly well.

Get the lowest form of intelligence mug.Aside from being a laughably bad example of the word "intelligent", Intelligent Design is pretty much a joke that accidently gained belief and popularity, much like the War of the Worlds radio program from 1938.
The basic concept is that God must have created everything because sunflowers are pretty. The only "scientists" who support this theory have phony degrees and doctorates that they bought for cash from unaccredited Bible colleges , rather than taking any actual courses to earn. While it is completely disregarded by real scientists, it is creeping into classrooms. This is due to the fact that the amount of people with no understaning of scientific theory far outweigh those that do, even though it would only take an hour of reading to familiarize one's self with the basics.
All in all, Intelligent Design is the final nail in the coffin of our already dying public education system. It is sure to make future generations regard everyone in our time as slack-jawed morons.

Get the Intelligent Design mug.Psuedo-Scientific name for the term, "creationism", describing an unfound speculation that God created life on Earth as it exists today. Proponents believe life is too complex to have evolved, even given hundreds of millions of years.
The only people who support Intelligent Design are the deeply religious and crackpot "scientists" with fake, store-bought doctorates from unaccredited Christian colleges.
Despite being rejected in the science community for over 200 years, many christians insist on having creationism taught in our public schools.
Intelligent Design is not science, nor should it be respected as such. Its a children's fable, not unlike saying babies come from the stork.
