This issue explores how intelligence has been narrowly defined in modern society, focusing solely on quantifiable metrics that emphasize rational capabilities over intuitive knowledge.
Ananda Yin highlights that education systems prioritize objective knowledge, leaving little room for intuitive understanding, which has historically been seen as essential in spiritual and philosophical contexts.
The article argues that contemporary academia has enslaved subjects like literature and philosophy to a rigid rational framework, neglecting their more transcendental, intuitive potentials.
The piece calls for a re-evaluation of intelligence to include various forms of knowing, suggesting that a richer understanding of intelligence may foster broader societal benefits.
