Intelligence: Gift or Curse?

[Zardoch]

I'm not too sure I follow. Intelligence shouldnt be used to learn more about a subject? What's the 'deserving intelligence' concept?

I never said that. I'm speaking of how people use intelligence abusively and selfishly. But that does not mean people shouldn't learn. It's how you use what you learn. If you use it irresponsibly then you don't deserve the intelligence you've acquired.

lol. That's fairly low standards... It doesnt take much to realize you dont know all that much in the grander scheme of things, but you can know that you know a hell of a lot more than old Tom **** and Harry sitting next to you.

I'm not bagging you out, I'm just asking for clarification.

What's wrong with low standards? Does there have to be high standards when it comes to intelligence? Like an IQ of 130+? Intelligence has no purpose without wisdom.

Now let's say you do know more than Tom and Harry. What does that accomplish? Does that mean you are usually right and they are wrong? Does this make their opinion any less credible than yours? How does that benefit you? Obviously it doesn't take too much to realize you are thinking too hard about what I said that you missed the point. There is no grander scheme because intelligence is just as much a weapon as your tongue is. How you use either reflects whether you are wise or are plainly stupid. You don't have to be a rocket scientist or genius to understand that.
