How-long a list of Chores we can do + how well we perform these Chores testifies to our Cognitive Intelligence and our support-of our traditional Political + Economic + Cultural Heritage.
   
Recognizing-the-Ramifications of our Chores on our Lifestyle + Civility + Equitability -- in light of America’s current Industrial Evolution -- defines our Ambient Intelligence.

Adapting to the-Realities of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.)

we are.

To-Be or Not-To-Be” is a 405-year-old personal question with non-Task-oriented nor Pedagogue-dictated answers.

→ Does To-Be what we want To-Be contradict what someone else wants us To-Be? Demands We-Be? Do you know how to avoid servant status -- and protect your Options and Opportunities?

→ To-Be Smart enough To-Be-You -- legally, morally, constructively, productively + independently -- starts by subscribing-to Empirical- or Science- or Principle-based “Truths” + comprehending their potential Ramifications and Consequences by making-Connections prompted by Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). A.I.= Special Information that builds Ambient Intelligence, generates Intellectual Acuity and makes us noticeably Smarter.

Caveats:
"The best laid plan of mice and
men often go awry." Robert Burns

All-Human Endeavors are subject

to Murphy’s Law: “What can go
wrong will go wrong.”
     

So, it is incumbent upon us to D+D:4A =>4C. D+D = Define + Delineate: 4A = Anticipate + Adjust + Adapt + Adopt => 4C = Corroborate + Collaborate + Comprehend + Conjoin

“As you wander on through life brother whatever be your goal keep your eye upon the doughnut not upon the hole.” The Optimist Creed
   
To Successfully Ensure that the best Options and Opportunities are yours – Pay attention to what is going on. Stop being a spectator. Get out of the Stands and onto the Field-of-Play. Playing the Game of Life starts with => Where are you? Where do you want to go -- Employably, Relationally, Socially?
   
Yes, you-can or at-least come close. And today you can-do it => DIY On-the-Fly during the USA’s A.I.-Driven => Age of Automation, and Beyond. U.S. K-12-16-20 Schooling Matrix is/will-be a liability.
   
A Heads-up: To use a military concept when the USA was winning its Wars: Get your Head out of your-ass or at least get a Plexiglas stomach.

The “How Smart Am-i?” Test
is also an exercise in Intellectual Gymnastics
and can be a Plan-B for Americans facing the
impact of A.I. and the Age of Automation

We have developed a Test that we Humans
can-use to find out how Smart we are.

• This is not an I.Q. Test. I.Q. Tests measure
  our Cognitive Intelligence as manifested in our Memorization Skills = Rote & Regurgitation.
  
  
• A Smart Test measures how well we can apply/use the information that we have acquired
  to expand our Options and Opportunities  
            => The Art of Being-Smarter^TM
    (Obviously + Congenially + Collaboratively)

How many Connections can you make?
• Level #1 = 1-6 Dots • Level #2 = 7-12 Dots
• Level #3 = 13-16 Dots (out of 32 Possible Dots)
(See Comp-Scale on Retrac.com’s Intellectual Acuity Chart.)

Assistance for those who have taken
the "How Smart Am-i? Test

   

   
To understand why the "Art of Being-Smarter" works
and U.S. K-12-16-20 Schooling doesn't, you need to be familiar with 2 things:
• The North Korean POW Separation Program: 7,000 U.S. POWs -
no escapes - first time in history (40% died in Captivity)
• Roger Sperry, Cal Tech, and his 1981 Nobel Prize in Medicine
and Physiology (Responsibilities of Left-Right sides of Cerebral Cortex)
