We live in an antipodal dystopia torn between native intelligence and bookish wisdom. Native Intelligence is defined by what we want to look like. Native Intelligence makes us good sales guys. We learn and adapt according to whom we speak to. But if we perceive ourselves in an inferior position, we start manipulating. If we let Native Intelligence become individualistic, we become selfish and thence follows survival of the fittest. Native Intelligence breeds functional responses including the ridiculous zombian state of Pavlov's dog. Not to be extinguished, Native Intelligence is passed on from generation to generation, and refuses to become forward looking.
Not all is that bad. Native Intelligence teaches us what to expect of ourselves and others, what to want and to let go. It does not necessarily correlate with time and situation but if does, it creates beautiful human relationships.
But to speak of bookish wisdom is to talk of understanding the wind in the willows. Although we talk about one concept at a time, we always hear the rising and falling tide of the other concepts tied into it. Bookish Wisdom is not practical to day to day living but essential nonetheless to build a beautiful world with enough resources for everyone. Bookish wisdom is the currency of language. Bookish wisdom can be converted into Inference models, a fire which can always keep burning. Bookish Wisdom is a road which winds down into new Concepts through research. But why not fusion as well, say between fluid dynamics and econometrics. Both deal with flows but offer different treatments.
People sincerely believe that there is an inner voice which tells us what to do. My opinon about this inner voice it is nothing but what we have imbibed from our parents and our society, until one starts interpreting and that happens when we become self dependent. We can always take other's opinions until we find out that the consequences lie with one's ownself.
