What is "Intelligence?"

What is "Intelligence?"
🔑
INTELLIGENCE is knowing how to grow in the direction of
࿇ appreciating and enjoying life in the present
࿇ being ever more conscious of what is going on within and around oneself
࿇ recognising oneself in others

🔑 This definition is simple, but not simplistic. As one of the key principles in the Educational Design applied here, it transcends and includes the notion of "multiple intelligences," itself a welcome development in education. It allows teachers and learners to be who they really are, to fully and wholeheartedly participate, cooperate and co-create in the educational process.

This the intelligence that can empower us to remember our humanity, to defend ourselves against and transcend the confusion, finger-pointing, isolation, misinformation, doubts, fears and greed that currently prevail in this world.


Remember your humanity and forget the rest. — Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein in the Russell-Einstein Manifesto.
