Why this could happen

Antaintelligence is nominally domain-specific—it concerns antagocognition—but its operational requirements are unusually generality-dense.

To outsmart adaptive cognitive agents and resist their outsmarting, the person must repeatedly exercise:

learning;

abstraction;

causal reasoning;

prediction;

model-construction;

metacognition;

uncertainty-management;

error-correction;

creativity;

strategic reasoning;

perspective-taking;

transfer;

rapid adaptation.

Most specialised intelligences can remain confined to a relatively stable domain. Antaintelligence cannot, because its “domain” is composed of other adaptive intelligences.

An opponent may use mathematics, social knowledge, deception, emotional pressure, language, technology, strategy, or any combination thereof. Therefore, antaintelligence is forced to become progressively cross-domain.
