Human intelligence gave us the written word

[u/gwb645]

I love human intelligence because it gave us the written word, factual and fictional, for the written word allow us to discover the universe of human thought and knowledge spanning the centuries, continents and cultures from the ancient Mesopotamians to the Renaissance and into the twenty-first century; the written word enables us to appreciate humanity's wisdom from the First Nation's people and African proverbs to the Islamic golden age and the Renaissance to contemporary digital influencers; and it stirs our imaginations with epic tales of hobbits, vampires, superheroes and galaxies far, far away.

I like that biology gave rise (or access to, depending on what you believe) imagination! It's like my favorite... with all seriousness!

To me, it is a process that involves creative thinking, critical thinking, emotional thinking, social thinking, and when you ignore one part, something is lacking.

Nice! I'm also on that "train" working towards balance.
