The only thing dumber than our presumption of intelligence is our lack of awareness.

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity.”
— attributed to Albert Einstein

We break down intelligence into intellect and emotion and most discussions stop there, but there must be at least two more aspects to it. Memory is one, and there is a large fourth part which I’ll call intuition.

I’m frustrated with all the natural and accepted ignorance around me. I see it in social behavior and I work to address it in my clients and myself. I’m largely successful so I know we can learn to think better.
