Intelligence as mentioned here is the ability to ‘solve puzzles’ - to apply memorised information to solve known problems - a tiny subsection of Intelligence. A chicken can be taught to peck a prescribed number of times in exchange for a reward.

Any real progress to intelligence must necessarily be self-initiated and happen outside of the confines of the educational system.

The educational system isn’t your friend - the educational system is the system’s friend.

Everything in life is a puzzle and if that puzzle solving ability u speak of is well ingrained it does have positive impacts on the kids outside of the academic realm/ system whatever u call it.

Do you ever question your certainty?

Edit: I guess you don’t. I guess you can’t… and that’s my point.
