Education And Intelligence, Which One Weighs Higher?
Education is light as many call it, the light is meant to guide; meant to guide intelligence, is the guard more important than what it guides?
To acquire the best education at the best school isn’t the same as acquiring intelligence, education terminates to enable you to understand the world around you, but it lacks the natural attitude.
If you were given the option to choose between education and intelligence, which one would you choose?
I am a teacher of things, I know what’s education, and I understand what’s intelligence, so I know the difference between the two.
Education offers limited creativity that’s encircled to a particular sphere of discipline, but intelligence is unlimited, it accesses unlimited creativities.
I am not kicking off the place of education, but we shouldn’t place it above intelligence, education is a guide, but intelligence is the personality.
The compass is given to guide the ship, it isn’t the ship. Education is a compass, intelligence is the ship, without the compass the ship is valuable, but without the ship, is the compass valuable for the captain?
For instance, I studied Biochemistry for good four years at the University, education succeeded in keeping me in one field of study, but after the academic siege, I broke away into the realm of intelligence, where freedom exists to be yourself without being confined to a particular discipline.
I decided not to be someone people will ask what is your profession?, and I will just say, “I am Biochemist” for this reason I went into intelligible aspects of reality which intelligence offers, and I succeeded in them all.
Don’t allow education to limit you to one sphere of study, you are more intelligent than that.
God said to Adam, “Have dominion over the earth” so everything in this world is yours to subdue, you could study arts, science, technology and master them all because you are God’s image, perfection runs in your veins, but above all these, you are intelligent, so the world is yours to cap down whether you’re educated or not.
One can be very knowledgeable in a field of study, but empty in natural aptitude which only intelligence offers.
Education is light as many call it, the light is meant to guide; meant to guide intelligence, is the guard more important than what it guides?
We live in a time where many are quick to ask, are you educated? But no one asks, are you intelligent? Education isn’t genuinely expressive without intelligence, we face the sort of problems we see today in the world system because we have many unintelligent-educated leaders.
Education was invented by man, intelligence is a gift from God, the engineers who built the tower of Babel and the pyramid weren’t educated at any school, yet the advanced modern educated world can’t attempt the ancient architecture not even a block, you understand what I mean, it isn’t education that bouges the world, intelligence does right from Eden.
When you are talking with people who are educated but not intelligent, you will feel a gap in self-aptitude, but with someone who isn’t educated but intelligent, you won’t feel any gap, there would be an absolute connection.
Yes I know, education has a role to play, it directs you to a fact, but it lacks the strength to analyse that fact, this is where intelligence comes in to give a complete analysis of every fact.
To earn degrees up to PhD level starting from year one, would take you approximately 8 years in a developed country, but tell me, how many years will it take one to acquire the smallest unit of intelligence called understanding? It’ll take forever years.
God made intelligence and fixed the attitude in man, man made education which often distracts that natural aptitude.
Intelligence is older than education, before the coming of education all things were done perfectly with God-given intelligence, the people of old didn’t find anything difficult, they did no research to build heaven-touching buildings, we had astrologers, physicians, engineers who had no education because there were no schools at that time.
Don’t measure people based on the fact they are educated or not, humanity is far greater than education and everything it goes to offer -humanity is intelligence.
