More From Remy De Gourmont

If you look up 'intelligence' in the new volumes of the encyclopeadia britannica, you'll find it classified under the following three heads: intelligence, human; intelligence, animal; intelligence, military. my stepfather's a perfect specimen of intelligence, military.
Military Animal Perfect
Intelligence, that sublimation of the sensibility, that organ of the need to know, is sterilized sensibility.
Needs Intellect Organs
Perhaps i possess a certain midwestern sensibility that i inherited from my mother and her parents, a sensibility that warren buffet seems to share: that at a certain point one has enough, that you can derive as much pleasure from a picasso hanging in a museum as from one that's hanging in your den, that you can get an awfully good meal in a restaurant for less than twenty dollars, and that once your drapes cost more than the average american's yearly salary, then you can afford to pay a bit more in taxes.
Mother Museums Average
Within a few decades, machine intelligence will surpass human intelligence, leading to the singularity -- technological change so rapid and profound it represents a rupture in the fabric of human history. the implications include the merger of biological and nonbiological intelligence, immortal software-based humans, and ultra-high levels of intelligence that expand outward in the universe at the speed of light.
Light Technological Change Profound
Intelligences are enhanced when a person is engaged in activities that involve the exercise of that intelligence. it helps to have good teachers, ample resources, and personal motivation. anyone can improve any intelligence; but it is easier to improve the intelligence if those factors are available and if you have high potential in that intelligence.
Teacher Motivation Exercise
Enlightenment is man's leaving his self-caused immaturity. immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another. such immaturity is self-caused if it is not caused by lack of intelligence, but by lack of determination and courage to use one's intelligence without being guided by another. sapere aude! have the courage to use your own intelligence! is therefore the motto of the enlightenment.

All of women's aspirations--whether for education, work, or any form of self-determination--ultimately rest on their ability to decide whether and when to bear children. for this reason, reproductive freedom has always been the most popular item in each of the successive feminist agendas--and the most heavily assaulted target of each backlash.
