What is intelligence?

I've not blogged in awhile, but this "intelligence" trend, iq tests online, people berating others' interests is too much. Imo, intellects are an important part of society, and truly intelligent people have several qualities. I'm not saying I'm among these people but here's what I notice. 1. They read a lot. Online, books, current issues. they don't quote a book they read 📚 20 years ago and constantly refer to a few texts like that. It's a giveaway. Those people want to appear knowledgeable. 2. Their vocabulary is not limited and they know more than one language, or they try to learn. 3. Smart people are interested in everything on Earth and above as they look for clues to our existence. Every day is a learning experience and time alive is treasured and appreciated. Even if people are dyslexic, or in some ways challenged, they are endlessly curious about how to thrive. 4 The most intelligent don't waste time at casinos or video games. They realize these things are a waste of time and unhealthy. 5 Intelligent people ask questions constantly inside and out. They know we do not have answers to everything. They appreciate a superior otherworldly guide, godlike or other. 6 Lastly, intelligent people love. They just love. Earth, others, all life. They help others in a practical true way. These are the people I look toward now. With all the elections and wars, we need role models. There's more to intelligence than we currently know. Main thing now is I know when someone is not kind or not smart. These two things are the same. Love, Lu
