“Intelligence is an extremely subtle concept. It's a kind of understanding that flourishes if it's combined with a good memory, but exists anyway even in the absence of good memory. It's the ability to draw consequences from causes, to make correct inferences, to foresee what might be the result, to work out logical problems, to be reasonable, rational, to have the ability to understand the solution from perhaps insufficient information. You know when a person is intelligent, but you can be easily fooled if you are not yourself intelligent.” IfsKnowsKindPersonsProblemMightScienceCausesUnderstandingMemoriesAbilityResultsInformationSolutionsDrawsConceptsConsequenceIntelligentWork OutAbsenceRationalReasonableSubtleLogicalFooledGood MemoriesInsufficientInference Author:Isaac Asimov

One way or another, the grossly selfish will finally be shattered, whimpering, against the jagged, concrete consequences of their selfishness.” WayLooksPersonsHas BeensSelfJesusCommunityNumbersWonderWorshipConsequenceSeasonsBusySelfishGladOne WaySelfishnessBrotherhoodConcreteEasterEmphasisExesShatteredNarcissistEaster Season Author:Neal A.
