But our society does not grant nontraditional forms of intelligence equal recognition, no matter how much it would help us get along or truly enrich our lives.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In our society those who are in reality superior in intelligence can be accepted by their fellows only if they pretend they are not.
There's some way in which we would prefer not to see very clearly the immense gifts and intelligence of some of the people who live in our most abject conditions. Maybe there are some things at work in deciding who gets to be society's winners and who gets to be society's losers that don't have to do with merit.
I don't think we live in a particularly equal society.
We will not build a society that reflects who we are and that has opportunities for equality or justice if we don't make progress for all participants.
The measure of and self-congratulation for our own intelligence should have its basis in our moral behavior as well as our smarts.
Humanity is smart. Sometime in the technology world we think we are smarter, but we are not smarter than you.
One of the indictments of civilizations is that happiness and intelligence are so rarely found in the same person.
Until we get equality in education, we won't have an equal society.
We regard intelligence as man's main characteristic and we know that there is no superiority which intelligence cannot confer on us, no inferiority for which it cannot compensate.
I have always accepted intelligence was an honorable profession. We are all mindful of the need to comply with our moral values and the law.
