Thread Name: BS: The intelligence gene(s)
Subject: RE: BS: The intelligence gene(s)
Who decides what is intelligent in the first place? Is it measured in academic standardility? Is it measured in grammotical ethikss, or mathematical numerical logistical appropriation? Is it about scientific factual non-evident evidence, or Newton's Theory on Falling Apples in the Autumn?

Maybe my dog is more intelligent than I? ("Yes, YES!" they all shout in unison)

But..then again, maybe I is more intelligent than U, except after C, of course...


Emotional intelligence can't be measured by those who love to measure, as they don't DO emotions in the first place, have no understanding of it whatsover, other than it is a highly unnecessary piece of baggage to be thrown out of the humanoid aeroplanes of existence....

I have bagloads of intelligence in my jeans, just not the same type of intelligence those who regard themselves as The Intelligent Ones, may want me to have...

But then, Jeans or Genes, is all relative in the theroticising of theories, when it all boils down the most basic components of geneticism....



And nope, I've not a clue what I've just written either, but my brain seemed to get a little carried away...Mayhap this is because an apple hath fallen on MY head, thus giving me a whole new vision on the Genetics of Genius!


PS: The short version of this is when John Taylor Gatto said that in his mind the State of Genius is actually VERY commmon, but sadly it is schooling itself which turns this off, producing so many dumbed down 'once upon a time' geniuses who have become simply 'like everybody else'....just as they're supposed to be.

Power to The People! :0)
