Intelligence - Understanding the understanding itself.

Today we learn about what intelligence is.

Before anything, you should be confident in yourself. Everyone is equally intelligent; it is just a matter of where they use their intelligence. It also means that nobody is greater and nobody is dumb. These things about "dumb" and "good" are what school teaches you. I will teach you the real deal and prove it to you.

Intelligence — it is the ability to understand things.

Now we will see if this is actually true or not through our observation. Most likely, many people will relate to the given example. Now, let us begin.

Why do I say that everyone is equally intelligent and that it is just a matter of where they use their intelligence? Let us understand this with an example.

Suppose there are two people: let us say A and B. A is very good at IQ tests and math—nobody comes near him in math—while B is very good at socializing.

When it comes to socializing, A never shows respect to anyone. Will you consider him an intelligent person? If IQ is absolutely right—where in school we are taught that if you are good at IQ tests or in science subjects, then it means you are intelligent, otherwise you are not—does it make sense at all? From here, we can also prove that it is just a matter of where they direct their energy. One focuses on problem-solving, so he eventually becomes good at math, and the other becomes good at socializing. So we cannot judge anyone based on this kind of merit. Intelligence cannot be measured. It is the same for everyone; it is just where we put it to use.

Our definition also applies here, because without an understanding of questions or how to talk to anyone, they won't be able to perform well on an IQ test or in socializing. So, understanding is a must. This understanding comes from direct experience.

This also shows what is wrong with our society. So, whoever feels like they are left behind or dumb: don't worry, do whatever you like to do because you have the same intelligence as everyone else. This definition makes everything perfectly balanced because nobody is greater and nobody is a loser—everyone should have confidence in themselves.

    Good thing to sit and think about. The part I keep turning over is where people put their intelligence rather than how much they have. Does that hold for something someone is plainly bad at and keeps doing for years anyway?

  • Does literalism flatten the Bible into a mere manual?

    One of the strangest assumptions in modern literalist readings of Scripture is the idea that the Bible should be treated as if it were a single kind of document with a single interpretive key. As if it were a legal contract where every clause must be enforced uniformly, or a scientific paper where every sentence is meant as a precise empirical claim, or a recipe book where the point is simply to follow instructions exactly as written.

  • Why does Silicon Valley talk about death like it's a software bug?

    One of the clearest signs that modern secular elite culture is uneasy about death is how Silicon Valley talks about it. The human body is treated like legacy hardware waiting for an upgrade. In place of acceptance, you get optimization: longevity startups, cryonics, extreme biohacking, and constant speculation about whether enough computation and biotech might eventually defeat death itself. Tech billionaires talk with pride about potentially transferring their consciousness to a computer, as…

  • Should we stop gatekeeping who counts as a real Christian?

    Something occurred to me today. For centuries, especially in the English-speaking world, Catholics were often portrayed as superstitious, anti-intellectual, hostile to freedom, and blindly obedient to authority. Some of that came from real conflicts. Some of it came from centuries of Protestant polemics and what historians call the Black Legend. Either way, the image became deeply embedded in Western culture.

  • Does the state corrupt the Church more than the Church ever corrupts the state?

    Constantine's church became an instrument of imperial politics within a generation. Franco's bishops became collaborators in child theft. Patriarch Kirill blesses wars. The question is not whether you will gain political influence. The question is what will be left of what you started with once the people who wanted the influence are done with it.

  • Does Christianity actually fear knowledge?

    One of the most persistent stereotypes about Christianity is that it fears knowledge. The story is familiar. Religion relies on faith. Science relies on evidence. One asks questions, the other suppresses them. The heroes are the people who challenged religious authority, while the Church stands as the institution that tried to hold them back. There are moments in history that support parts of that story. The Church has made mistakes. It has sometimes resisted new ideas. The Galileo affair…

  • Does secular society still believe in original sin?

    One of the funniest things about modern secular culture is that it absolutely still believes in original sin. It just refuses to call it that because theological language makes educated people uncomfortable. Listen to how modern institutions describe human beings. We are governed by unconscious bias, shaped by childhood conditioning, manipulated by algorithms, trapped in dopamine loops, distorted by social incentives, blinded by ideology, and mostly incapable of seeing our own motivations…
