| Intelligence 12 share 11 hours ago by admin Could it really be that simple? Can we make evil disappear from the earth by understanding it out of existence? That would be some trick! And would not the trick, even if we brought it off, leave everything exactly as it is? It is not simple at all. We can start by not seeing things that are not the ...

| Intelligence 11 share 11 hours ago by admin (Continuing where I left off in Intelligence 10) So, is this speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil?

| Intelligence 7 share 12 hours ago by admin Some of the worlds that human intelligence builds are more fragile than others. Given more or less equal experience to work with, one person’s intelligence may not be quite as nimble a craftsman as another’s.

| Intelligence 5 share 12 hours ago by admin Just in case I have inadvertently suggested that there are truths out there that we cannot bear to know, but that I know them, I want to correct that impression.
