intelligence

You are never a great man if you have more mind than heart

The human MIND seems to work best in the presence of reality.

The brain that contains the problem
probably also contains the solution.

IF the conditions are right, the huge intelligence of the human being surfaces. IDEAS seem to come from nowhere & sometimes STUN US.

So it's worth pondering that this whole system, which we are calling 'thought', works as a system of reflexes.  The question is: can you become aware of the reflex character of thought--that it is a reflex, that it is a whole system of reflexes which is constantly capable of being modified, added to, changed?  And we could say that as long as the reflexes are free to change then there must be some kind of intelligence or perception, something a bit beyond the reflex, which would be able to see whether it's coherent or not.  But when it gets conditioned too strongly it may resist that perception; it may not allow it.

Born alone to escape thoughts conceived within a dying star.

Reality is nothing but a collective hunch.

Reality is nothing but a collective hunch.

I am not looking for intelligent disagreement any longer.... What I am looking for is intelligent agreement.

There seems to be no sign of intelligent life anywhere . . .

Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

He whose intellect overcomes his lust is higher than the angels; he whose lust overcomes his intelligence is less than an animal.
