Thanks for the post. I hear a lot of people say that such and such is intelligent for everything and anything. Sometimes it bothers me, for in my opinion intelligence is not to speak well, or to have a good memory, etc. But it's all the qualities that allow someone to have the ability to adapt to any situation that one meets.
I agree.
Most of our world is based on the ability to remember what we have been taught (almost the entirety of all education systems). It is a very narrow view of the general skills necessary.
I guess we have lost a lot of skills. Probably because of the society that assists us for everything and anything in return for being a cash cow. (Btw, added your post to the steem-trail and followed)
That is a big part of it and the more it happens, the more we rely on it and the less capable we become at getting ourselves out of the cycle. The great brainwash into helpless consumerism.
Edit: and thanks :)
