Equality of Intellugence - Intellectual Emancipation

"Everybody wants to know something."

Dear friends,

I believe that there is an Equality of Intelligence (Intellectual Emancipation) among all humans, as, first of all, everybody wants to know something. If that were not the case, then gossip newspapers and TV shows like the National Inquirer and Entertainment Tonight would have been out of business long ago. With that in mind, the issue of what one learns or the speed at which s/he consumes any particular amount of information is solely based upon that person's interests, in terms of what s/he wants to know.


That's another reason that I protest grading in education (e.g., A through F). Because it shows nothing about what someone actually knows or how competent s/he is, it merely makes the excuse for how people are sorted out and classified for later use by those who sponsor our government and its agents/politicians, all of whom are legitimized, not by the vote, but trough the threat capacity of both the police and military.
