I know intelligence in general is something the mentally I’ll seem keenly sensitive towards.
My mind looks like rubble inside? Do I have a chance?
Well beyond my own inclination you all leave me preconcerned with what smarts are.
I have to offer you all a divergent insight I’ve conjuered.
It’s funny we refer to ourselves as sentient. Which we are no doubt… However we deserve more credit. We are scientifically categorized as homo-sapiens.
The emphasis on similarity was intentional on the part of the first evolutionary biologist. Homo hablis, homo erectus, homo sapien… All members of the same line. That’s where the homo comes from. They made sure we we’re official tied to our evolutionary ancestry in a permanent way to be seen by those who wake up to it.
That’s not my point though.
Sentience by definition is learning from experience. Sapience is learning from memory there after… we are categorically capable of this as homo sapiens.
It’s a cruel turn to mention the world genius… In place next to homo sapiens as if it’s something else and not the same.
The message comes most clearly from Albert Einstein. “Imagination is more important than understanding.”
If you all wonder what genius is… It’s not a skill set or knack… It’s the capacity to apply real rules to the imagination and learn from the hypotheticals… What works what doesn’t.
We’ve all pulled this off. Just some more reliable than others.
I was just drawing a line in the Sand of sorts… It’s been on my mind for a while… Thought I’d spell it out and subject it to peer review.
It might be especially humbling to schizophrenics whose imaginations start transcending and reshaping their inner sense of reality. If that’s not on the same scale then I don’t know what is.
I’m not saying sell out to delusion… But enjoy those magically devious brains you all have.
Thanks you my favorite community. You’ve been nothing but wise and good company for all these years…
no problem
