[Discussion] Intelligence and Intellect

[whiteboy2345]

As a society, we seem to praise kids who are born with natural "intelligence" over those with natural intellect. I can't understand why it's so hard for society to realize that just because you're good at math, doesn't mean you're automatically a great philosopher.

Kids who have a talent for knowledge and reasoning seem to just..disappear. It's weird, they just disappear along the way and the people who outshine them become your typical Social Justice Warrior.

Some SJW's have pretty good test scores, but it doesn't mean they're any good when it comes to intellect and reasoning. You're confusing intelligence and intellect.

An intelligent person understands our different perspective rather than painting us with a broad brush as just a statistics which is what an intellectual person do.

Intelligence has to do with things like mathematics and reading.

Intellectuals are the types of people who create things like laws and civil rights.

Thats not really true since to become powerful enough to be able to create laws you need intelligence

They don't disappear. They become successful (not like Einstein revolutionary). Society just doesn't give a shit when they get older, nor should we. They're blessed on a bright path, no point of putting them on a pedestal. Also, the intelligent go into law too.

Also, today's SJW is an idiot.

Intelligence = emotion and Intellect = facts: That's the distinction to which the creator of the thread is trying to emphasize.

Not necessarily.

I'm saying intelligence deals with noticing patterns, mathematics, and the sort of feats you attribute to people like Einstein. And yet, these same people can come up with the most idiotic forms of social justice.

All I'm pointing out is that people with natural talent for reasoning and knowledge are being left astray.

I should have explained more. Anyway, it's because they do not look beyond the knowledge.

Just give them a punching bag that should solve our she retardation issues for the time being then after they grow bored give them a Lillie pop and say good boy or good girl

 

[UchiGOD]

coz those who are intellect enough know that they don't need society's attention and praise
they live and do the way they think is the right one which is usually not accepted easily by ppl

Society doesn't reward intellect, it rewards compartmentalization of information.
