How much will an individual be willing to pay to know — approximately — how human intelligence works? Or, how much will an individual, who is learning something new, be willing to pay to prospect the process of learning, recall, and understanding? How much will corporations be willing to buy this subscription for their workers, towards reskilling? How much will parents be willing to pay for this, for their children?
What does it mean that human intelligence is creative, innovative, or can do problem-solving? What does it mean that human intelligence can operate and improve processes?
Answering these questions alone is an exceptional start, where there is nothing at all. It is a leap too, in human knowledge, to close in on the basis for the advancement of human society.
At this time, across science, there is no standard definition for human intelligence. There are no types of intelligence based on theoretical neuroscience. There is no known brain mechanism — even theoretically — on how human intelligence works. There is no explanation of learning stages with respect to the components and the relays of intelligence in the brain.
Becoming the first to answer these questions conceptually, with strict extractions from empirical brain science, will be a huge economic hit, providing a necessary solution, generating immediate profits by creating a market to dominate.
This is a major progress opportunity as well as a commercial goldmine. The product will be displayed [digital or paper]. The service will be the mechanism of human intelligence. The value will be the advancement of humans for the benefit of human society, without external dependencies on devices, servers, or networks.
Investing to provide the mechanism of human intelligence will require far less than the staggering amounts that have been invested in AI by venture capital in 2025. It will also be more valuable, at least times four, almost instantly than the most valuable startup in the world, since the solution is the only one there, for the only thing there — intelligence or the significance of what it means to exist.
Investing in this will not just be another AI video app or data center, but will be directly for humans, wherever humans are, useful to analyze the past, reshape the present, and build the future amid uncertainties.
Human Intelligence — Unknowns
To nimble around the current situation, the thing to do is an internet search or to prompt any AI chatbot [with the questions below] to fill the gap.
What is human intelligence?
What are the types of human intelligence?
What are the components of human intelligence in the brain? What are their relays?
How exactly does human intelligence work in the brain?
How can the components of human intelligence be used to measure it?
What is the difference between the intelligence that can be used to drive a car against the intelligence that can be used to invent one?
[Answer this question with components of intelligence in the brain, not just parts or areas of the brain, mention the direct components and how, answer creatively.]
Human Intelligence Research Lab – Startup
Human intelligence is specifically described as the use of memory for desired, expected, or advantageous outcomes. This means that whenever memory is used excellently for certain outcomes, then that is intelligence.
There are two major types of intelligence: operational intelligence and improvement intelligence. Both of them have mild and complex ranges.
The specific components of intelligence, conceptually, in the brain are electrical and chemical signals. Their interactions and attributes make-and-wheel intelligence. Whenever the brain is said to be active in empirical neuroscience, electrical and chemical signals of neurons are at work. This postulation submits that they [in sets, obtained in clusters of neurons] are responsible for the configuration and transportation of intelligence.
Several attributes can explain observations of creativity, learning, problem-solving, and so forth. Providing a display of these components, with their relays, especially to answer queries on a process of learning, forgetfulness, understanding, problem-solving, or others, is a product that would advance the current unknown, showing parallels to whatever is within, to position how to use intelligence better.
Venture Capital for Human Intelligence?
Any AI or life sciences VC that is interested in returns within a quarter can fund this lab, whose services will be available immediately after inception, since the theories are well-advanced, while work will continue on major ways to grow the chances for intelligence in endeavors, providing those as services too.
This will also be a way to balance away from the discussion of the AI bubble or circular or vendor financing for AI, or that valuations for several yet-unprofitable companies are soaring without unique use cases for their products.
Arch Venture Partners, Breakout Ventures, RA Capital Management, 5AM Ventures, Genoa Ventures, and MPM Capital have opportunities in human intelligence. Others include Flagship Pioneering, ARCH Venture Partners, Third Rock Ventures, OrbiMed, New Enterprise Associates (NEA), and Sofinnova Partners.
Human Intelligence Research Lab Startup will Blossom, VC or otherwise
The possibilities to explain human intelligence are already mature and sophisticated. It is rounded in conceptual brain science and has levitated without VC support, so far. The invitation is an opportunity to diversify amid the unknown wait for profitability in AI.
Also, the realization for humanity that a non-organism can be this smart means that human intelligence can be taken seriously. This is the springboard and the potential market totalization for the product. Explaining human intelligence also explains the human mind, which then can be used to explain mental disorders, showing that the takeoff of this startup is an extensive solution at the core of life — the brain. Commencing in November 2025, with products shipped by December 2025.
The future could field a lot of roles for AI, given its advances, capabilities, and reach. However, possibilities that exist with human intelligence may be capped without this unparalleled [and to be the most important global] startup – human intelligence research lab.
There is a recent [October 18, 2025] feature in The Guardian, Are we living in a golden age of stupidity?, stating that:
“One concern is the so-called ‘anchoring effect’. If you post a question to generative AI, the answer it gives you sets your brain on a certain mental path and makes you less likely to consider alternative approaches. “I always use the example: imagine a candle. Now, AI can help you improve the candle. It will be the brightest ever, burn the longest, be very cheap and amazing looking, but it will never develop to the lightbulb,” he says.
“To get from the candle to a lightbulb, you need a human who is good at critical thinking, someone who might take a chaotic, unstructured, unpredictable approach to problem solving. When, as has happened in many workplaces, companies roll out tools such as the chatbot Copilot without offering decent AI training, they risk producing teams of passable candle-makers in a world that demands high-efficiency lightbulbs.”
“There is also the bigger issue that adults who use AI as a shortcut have at least benefited from going through the education system in the years before it was possible to get a computer to write your homework for you.”
