Slime mold intelligence vs. humans

Looking at intelligence from a human only perspective is a big mistake. Hope this video makes you rethink how you define intelligence!

Welcome to the Shoshin Show, where we lead with curiosity to explore our potential.

No the slime mold was not more efficient. The Tokyo Subway system has been carefully designed and optimized by human planners to meet the needs of a large metropolitan area, considering factors such as population density, demand patterns, urban planning, and engineering constraints. It undergoes continuous improvements and adjustments to enhance efficiency and serve the millions of passengers who rely on it daily.

The experiment with slime molds aimed to explore the potential of natural systems in finding efficient solutions and inspire new approaches to network design. It does not imply that the slime mold-created network was inherently more efficient than the human-designed system. Further research and analysis would be required to make a direct comparison in terms of efficiency and performance between the two systems.

It wasn’t more efficient but it was almost as efficient and the way it is ‘smart’ isn’t because it has a brain it’s because it is a de-centralised single celled organism following a set of simple rules.
