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

The Brevity of the Bookshelf

Another gem from the film i was previously watching

i will review it shortly

the main character asked a girl who was house sitting 

if she had read any of the books upon the shelf they were standing by

she unsurprisingly said no 

he then asked if she was familiar with the book he was holding 

she said no 

he said you have 

think about it

then jogged her memory

but it got me thinking who still has bookshelves 

and that you can tell someone by their bookshelves 

or lack of bookshelf 

seeing as they are their depositories of information

and how a bookshelf is cliche 

a cliche of intellectuality 

the holder the hoister of of instruments for

the intelligentsia

but is it still the insignia of intellectuality 

for with technology 

books can be digitized   

having the power of numerous bookshelves

so bookshelves are obsolete
or are they

for as i said prior an insignia a memebership card of sorts
for as true musicians have adoration for the classics and
have vinyl
is it the same with books
or is it just archaic affectionate affiliations
and what of those bright sparks not on the branch
of literary arts
and they need not be with the style of visual arts
and the audio arena
or am i fishing here
and their is no spin for those who shun
of the bounded word commonly known as books

for i was reminded of how many people dispute darwin yet
have not read the preface or even the blurb
and i was even able to download it free off the android market

so does intellectuality perhaps need to redesign itself
perhaps baring a slogan brevity of bookshelf is a brevity of self
for you would expect to see in the domicile
of a fitness fanatic
the gear and apparatus of the trade
as with the musician
for without them could we still hand
them their titles of participatories of said categories

and that is only stationary but what of on the move
for those who are computer savvy you will see them
on the move with the tools of their trade
so what of the intellectual
for when i travel a book is high upon my itinerary
but does any book suffice

for are we reaching a shift where the
entrance requirements are being redefined
for bookshelves can become mausoleums
a tourist attraction devoid of true life
where the books become a fashion
accessory
rather than an accessory of the mind

or is it a reaction to brevity
for if you have no books in your
home how inclined are you to reading
outside of it

For more than be the storage of the wisdom of contemporary
and yesteryear they are landmarks
within
the architecture
of ones abode
creating scenery
creating surrounding
and if they are missing from your
surrounding what is their instead of it
the tv
the radio
the storage of your fashion ensemble

what does the brevity of the bookshelf mean
we only have to look at
the effect places devoid of them have on us and others
