intel please

intelligence is something that has come into mind and or conversation
either judging or adjudging
it

but what is intelligence

and to be intelligent

and does everyone have it

and intelligence or the percept of it

is the difference
and can be the barriers we intentionally or potentially or tentionally
put up


many of us would clam we all have intelligence
so whats the issue
perhaps it is the degrees of it
for example being sketchy in a subject or well versed in one
or what some people genuinely see as intelligence

as being a polymath
or otherwise known as the leonardo da vinci

or jack of all trades
and this really counts as intelligence

or intelligence
counts as the accessibility
to depositories of information

for example
i have met some people
throughout my existence
and via lazy deciphering
you could box a person
but it was their slowness to access their archives of knowledge
mistaken for having a lack of knowledge

for though shakespeare
said the world is a stage
many people shy away from lead roles
or have only been backroom staff
and now they must
take like a duck to water when thrust under the spot light

and many equate intelligence
with iq
making it the be all end all of any subsequent
discussion
but many think of iq or the conscious as such


and with the case of savants their conscious iq maybe extremely small
but their under the surface intelligence is through the roof

which bring us to the case is the argument for conscious or unconscious
intelligence
or a merger
for some may now argue what good is below the surface intelligence if you cannot always access it

which i would answer we must find ways to tap into it


these are just some thoughts i had on intelligence

and this is the gap we must cross if we dream of change
for the gap between our conscious to our unconscious
is equivalent to the gap between
said polymaths and the non practicing or the un tapped

african philosophy is back

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_existentialism

http://www.topix.com/forum/afam/TGVHJHDRVBLKI6IH4

i never get feedback from these things but if you were in the search of a precolonial african philosopher

or one that is more than a hundred years old the second link or the one that is not wikipedia has one^^^^

so even more info for you guys out there 

African or black or dark philosophers

You find many posts or can find them 

asking about african or black philosophers

but then again what is black or african philosophy and are they synonomous

for some the term black is very loose that mixed raced people or even anyone with african descent is black 

though they may not look it 

or it could be more idealogical as being in a certain sphere

like eminem makes black music 

because hiphop is black music

but definitions are mountaintops of which we may have different view points

for the philosopher above is albert camus

a french speaker

descendant from the northern part of africa

ergo an african philosopher

by default

but may not be an african philosopher in regards to subject matter an approach

so yh it gets tricky 

depending if all the criterion matter

to you

and that ethnicity means all for you

or just one needs to be fulfilled

but not to get bogged down in matters of validity

african philosophers

many posters of such questions

do so for lack of alternate history 

or a depth of history

where if someone 

was to quote a philosopher

or a poc

person of colour

it would not be a person who lived more than 500 years ago

or 100

to be generalistic

which boils down 

to the elephant in the room

and colonialism

and eurocentrisim

lol side note there is a squiggly line under eurocentrisim

i clicked on it and came up afrocentrisim

hmmm

but that is for you to deliberate on 

and these are the cases for the questions

that does not give us the answer

short answer is of course there are

but another thing to be thrown in the mix

what do we count as philosophy

many throw out martin luther

king 

otherwise we are talking about the german martin luther which totally irrelevant

and possibly his antithesis

where as i would call malcolm or malik

a philosopher 

it may be of some sort

for it comes down to what is a philosopher

one who follows a philosophical principle

or one who knows philosophical concepts

or wonders and ponders

or perhaps one who writes or retorts philosophy

of a original point of view

and in that case i would call malcolm sorry malik 

one more on the last point

and in a terms of african philosopher is subject matter breached 

africa as well

so he could be a double certified one

such as african african philosopher

but not be diverted again

and one person i would recommend is

and if you dont know him 

find out 

and then there is an argument

can there be specific types

of philosophies

or science

but yeah answer of course there are 

but we must uncover the history and find pre colonial africa

 and not be bogged down 

by one 

afrocentric labelling

for any line of specific search is centric

are they saying you shouldnt

which begs the question why

for in the search of knowledge and balance someone should

and i bet the person who is calling you that 

is not alleviating you from that title 

by wiling to do it themselves

but yeah in a winding down fashion 

another philosopher is i

if you are in the search for even more contemporary

or just a name to say 

to be all hipster

like i bet you never read

ahh wait it sounds to much like a sales technique

or is it 

anyways

another thing which must be down is places or forums where people can find dark or african philosophers with relative ease

since google is to vast 

and with that 

we should see more philosophers

come to the furore

information is key

it is good we first ask this question next it is the point of making these people known 

and our word or philosophical 

concept 

is

drum roll

duh duh duh duh ddddddd 

dddudhdudhdudhdduhd

is 

ubuntu

^^^^^

find out see you soon
