Basically, the Orthogonality Thesis is arguing that intelligence and goals do not correlate, at least in the limit of infinite compute and data. That is, minds and goals are very separate.
Now the question is, is the Orthogonality Thesis at least approximately true in humans?
Specifically, are behaviors and goals systematically correlated with intelligence, or is there very little correlation between goals/​behavior and intelligence?
Also, what implications does the Orthogonality Thesis being true or false in humans imply about X-risk and technology?
