Clever Sillies - Why intellectuals are dead wrong #stevenpinker #reason #science

[_Pure.truth_]

That’s why the education system has dumbed down children. If you can think and debate then you’ll question many things. Now we have young adults who only operate on feelings. Throwing temper tantrums will take you nowhere.

'clever sillies' is going straight into my vernacular

High inteligence does not mean that inteligence is able to make the right moral decisions or see your version of truth.

Its important to have such diversity into all inteligence levels, this improves the proces of idea, s and projects that go against the standards in any field 😊

The man was such an intellectual he was of almost no use.

Decline of the understanding that Western methods of discovery and organisation are mostly amazing. People are reverting to tribalism.

Intellectual is a tool, holding it doesn't mean right outcome.

Humm sometimes its okay to be silent be assumed a fool. Rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt. Sam Clemens. Hello intellectuals.

Equality in essence and difference in function. Part of all this is due to limited views. We have not considered a lot. Read The Dramatic Universe by John G. Bennett where goes into looking at the the whole of reality that can be seen as function, being and will which are aspects of the one whole.

It's been my observation that a lot of supposed intellectuals are really just people who are very good at reading text books, writing papers, and taking tests. When it comes to the practical application of what they've studied, written about, and tested on they often fall flat. Academia and the real world are two completely different animals....

You have met people with absolutely NO redeeming virtues who have found a way to get a lot of attention without doing anything except make a ridiculous claim.

Intellectual - someone who cannot let go of the pet theory in their mind, no matter the counter evidence or damage to others.

[momoski]

Intellectuals have been responsible for all the worst things that have happened in history, they do not understand the human animal.

Here's the problem: you dont have to have intellect to be an intellectual. All you have to do is know some fancy words and how to string them together in a way that makes you SOUND smart. A truely intelligent person is aware of and unashamed to admit the fact that in reality they know nothing, or, more accurately, that for all their vast knowledge or capacity for it, it's still a drop in the bucket for all the things there are to know, much less all the ways there are to make that knowledge useful.

ilogical philosophies are an expresion of creativity- when a philosophy starts with a contradiction, should be regarded as poetry. (if anything can be a woman as long as it identify as it, it means that a woman=woman and also a not woman=woman, ) is the same creativity form spitirual philosophy where you=me wich implies me=not me. Its an artistical exploration of counsciousness out of logic and reason, wich should not be reagarded as a legal reference at all, legality needs the third excluded, other wise there is no diference betwen right and wrong

"Men and women are not the same" isn't the correct way to express it. By that logic, no two people are the same! However, certain characteristics, have distributions for men and women that are different.
