The brightest moments in human history show us that people we call geniuses are not usually isolated figures who appear alone, so intelligence is said to be a collective reality.
Whenever one of these privileged minds appears, there are many men and women around him who also stand out intellectually.
- The history of science is an example.
- The progress of some is impossible without the progress of others.
- Science has been a chain of discoveries.
- In which each link has brought what is necessary to continue.
- Without Copernicus there would be no Newton.
- And without Newton Einstein.
- It wouldn’t have existed.
- Appeared.
Military intelligence is two contradictory terms. -Groucho Marx-
The same is true in all areas, is that why the golden ages appear?in one domain or another. These are times when a discovery or proposal causes many intelligences to simultaneously produce great advances or developments.
This also happens in small centers, such as work environments, family members, or groups of friends.
When you come into contact with intelligent minds, your intelligence improves. No one can be really intelligent in total isolation. In reasoning, in the ability to see and find solutions, those around us always have a lot of influence. stimulate or alter our intellect.
Ideas have bigger wings when shared, the reason and sensitivity of others helps them to grow and thrive, the intelligence of others makes us smarter and vice versa, in this field the environments are also definitive.
This reality has several consequences. The first and most important of these is to be aware that the bonds we establish with others affect not only our emotional life, but also our level of intelligence, and we also help make others more or less intelligent.
We are individuals, but also community, both facts are recorded in our essence. However, today’s society places a lot of emphasis on the individual and little on the community.
In fact, one of the ideals that is promoted is that of great individual achievement, doing something that distinguishes someone from others and mark their name in history with golden letters.
The selfish part of our being, which we all have, is not exactly the smartest; in fact, we came into the world selfishly. The baby can do nothing but live according to himself and everything that meets his needs.
Thus, by supporting selfishness at more advanced ages, what we do is support the most primitive territories we are.
There are interests that promote collective stupidity, much of this stupidity is to believe that our task in the world is to seek at all costs the exaltation of our Being, forgetting or neglecting the power of the group.
Many see society as a disjointed whole, made up of individuals who only compete, believe that the purpose of everything is just to impose themselves, but that is not true.
Jean Piaget said that one of the moral traits of those who have developed their intelligence at the highest level is the search for cooperative solutions, this means understanding that we are interdependent and that any individual good is irrelevant if it does not benefit others as well.
Individual achievements generate envious and ephemeral satisfaction, there is much latent aggression in the desire to make others inferior to exalt therself, this always has to do with feelings of inferiority and insecurity.
We want to be above others to reaffirm that we are worth something, that we can do something, but this belief is diluted as soon as it is given.
The great geniuses of history have not refused or refuse to learn from others. Otherwise. Those who have made great advances in thinking have always begun with the contributions of others to build their own ideas.
They have always been encouraged to move forward with a desire to solve universal, not personal, problems. This is precisely one of the signs of your intelligence.
Although science is the greatest paradigm of collective or collaborative intelligence, the same logic can be applied to our daily lives. Understand that we are all part of the same adventure: understand and resolve to live more fully and happily.
