Document Summary
Problem solving -> problem formulation -> problem reformulation -> insight. Rationality as using the most reliable means to obtain your goals. often the goal is to obtain the truth. People are using heuristics rather than algorithms in order to avoid combinational explosion. E. g. the representativeness heuristic and the availability heuristic. Keith stanovich argues that intelligence is dealing with computational limitations. That is what we are measuring in i. q. tests. Strong positive manifold in those tests pointing to a core ability. So perhaps intelligence is the brains ability to realize relevance. Intelligence is about relevance, but perhaps rationality is about making sure relevance tracks the truth i. e. that what you find salient is what will most reliably get you to the truth (reliably get you to the truth, We can use our intelligence to learn how to improve the use of our intelligence.
