I would like to say that I think Intelligence is equal among all living lifeforms. With people, I think it is equal across the board, unless there is some kind of physical condition preventing it. I believe the Highschool Jock who gets C's in class, but can read a defensive as its approaching him, remember plays and stats, and has a deep interest in Sports history, is equally intelligent to the smart kid who does well in math 🤷‍♂<br>I think a shade tree mechanic that failed out of highschool, but can swap an engine into a completely different type of vehicle and then engineer a wiring harness to make it all work is just as brilliant as a straight A student who cant change their tire.<br>Intelligence seems to be universal and linked to DESIRE, more so than a lack of understanding.<br><br>People with an IQ of 80, have an IQ of 80 because they dont care to have a higher one.<br>I notice when I talk to people who others consider "Not smart" they always seem to be really knowledgeable about things they care about.<br>Yes, they are "Not smart" with math or science or American history....<br>But they know the full historic timeline of Game Of Thrones. Every character, their position in the show, etc.<br><br>So why do we allow people to decide what kind of "Intelligence" is valid and what kind is not?<br><br>There is no such thing as "More Intelligent" or "Less Intelligent"  (Unless there is a mental disability involved)  .... People want the things They are good at to be the "Factor" of intelligence. And they want the other stuff Other People are good at," to be tossed aside.<br><br>All I see is Ego :( <br><br>I discuss my position on Universal Intelligence here if anyone is interested. I am always open to being wrong. I love debate and never consider my thoughts to be final.<br>I grow and learn more everyday.<br><br><a href=""https://youtu.be/S8AV5pIAmyU"">https://youtu.be/S8AV5pIAmyU</a>",(reply>), @Peter Lund No worries, I'm sure you're probably confused often. 🤷🏽‍♂️,(reply>), You make very little sense.,(reply>), You make great points
