A dictionary consultation will give you the precise pathway I wish to discuss.Suffice to say I am coming around to believing that general useful intelligence is in short supply. Limited to the really clever among us. I would suggest, as an estimate, that no more than 5% of our present population would be in this category.
Where does this Gourmet Intelligence come from? Originally I mean?
The Genuine Intelligence that we are aware of when we hear of Noble Prize winners, of Surgeons sailing through their exams, of NASA R&D People, of Computer Programmers working on original concepts, all in this group rise to the top of their profession by clear perception and solutions to occurring problems.
If we are lucky as ordinary people one or two of these Intellectuals could be elected to Government, bringing about change that enhances our wellbeing.
Having, I think, established that their is, indeed, brain power out there, I would now like to ask the question, are we seeing the remnants of an original pool of intelligence that came into existance, by whatever means, several thousand years ago? westwind.
