They misspelled "marijuana" as "spring". Spring isn't a plant.

When I read the topic title, I thought it was about preference of colours being intelligence. So if a person prefers blue, to green, for example, that would make them more intelligent

The number of hues, tones, and shades a person recognises correlates with his ability to compare and contrast. Ability to compare and contrast correlates with linguistic ability. This is why it's important that young children are exposed to plenty of contrasting and comparing language. E.g. "Look! That cat is stalking a bird" E.g. "What a pretty piebald pony!" E.g. " That poor lady's dog died today." E.g. "Those bright blue flowers are called speedwell".

there is a slightly more than tenuous correlation between judgement of intelligence and available vocabulary...
the number of namable colors shows as much intelligence as the number of namable car engine parts shows...

I agree use of language correlates with intelligence. In order to assert something or other; say for instance the sort of thing a computer is you need to be able to say more than "There is a computer in my house".Impenitent wrote: ↑Mon Jan 31, 2022 4:45 pm there is a slightly more than tenuous correlation between judgement of intelligence and available vocabulary...
