One must be careful not to confuse specialized knowledge with high intelligence. It's easy to be impressed with a dense document, detailed with specialized language and concepts (particularly if they are mathematical). One might read this document and assume that the writer is highly intelligent but this is not always the case. There is a substantial difference between one with specialized knowledge and one with high intelligence. There is an ever greater difference between one with specialized knowledge and one with creative intelligence. One must learn to detect the distinctions.
Comments
Ever since I read this, I have been intrigued by the distinctions of 'intelligence.' This has lead me to a true investigation of my own type of intelligence. A self justification if you will. I would love to know more about how these distinctions are detected.
Intelligence will become a new commodity. Intelligence, combined with love, and happiness will round out the true measure of success in this new world.
