How do you define intelligence? Is it a talant, in the genes or is it another invention to make it possible to achieve power for some people while putting down others?

It can be a variety of things, I think we tend to use the word intelligence to describe wisdom. Wisdom is the accumulation of knowledge and experience professor

I do have a twisted way to make a point .
Its inevitable to put down those who are less intelligent or to be putted down by those who are more intelligent ......sad flower

I believe a person becomes intelligent when it acquired the wisdom,
after that, they do not care about the illusions or inventions; titles, score, which generally do not provide sustenance for a healthy life. I mean, some wise masters of our past, they were really smart and many of them did not write anything. Other people wrote for them. The way they activities contribute enough to obtain a pure energy. However, in nows days, it has been hard to find an intelligent like the olders from our past.
