when someone disagrees with me it's like a huge reminder that anti-intellectualism is on the rise.

we often enshrine intelligence as a binary (i.e. smart or stupid) or some kind of threshold of intellectual faculties to clear to be considered “intelligent” overall, but the willingness to hold that there are multiple parallel and divergent faculties, each of which can be fostered or developed further beyond whatever natural aptitudes we possess for the faculties that come easily to us is liberating, and i think allows us to develop empathy for ourselves and others in a way we’re often conditioned not to in academic and professional environments we spend at least a third of our lives immersed in
i think a top five worst observable phenomenon is a societal over-indexing on intelligence, and i really like the multiple intelligences idea as a way to rationalize smarts in a way that’s inclusive and generative in a social and economic landscape that’s really quick to weaponize a nebulous, hyper-generalized intellect to explain the world in a really boring, anti-social, and generally wack way in order to simplify how we understand things that demand nuance
