My personnal philosophy.
Why are love and talent interconnected? Thesis: True love can only be felt for an area that contains a talent; otherwise, we won't be able to love it at all.
Response:
Happiness of a person. In philosophy and religion, every person, at the end of their journey, should find happiness. How can happiness arise from resignation (abandoning my goal and finding a new, seemingly easier one to achieve but not realizing it at first glance as impossible)? Right, it can't. Resignation always comes with regret. Mildly put, resignation is poison for the soul. And deep down, we always realize this, not just as we age. Yes, we break stereotypes that wisdom is acknowledging our limits. Wisdom is about overcoming those limits. Therefore, children and geniuses are closer to wisdom. The former haven't reached their goals yet but believe that anything is possible (although, again, it depends on the child), while the latter have achieved their goals. To become happy means to fulfill one's most cherished dream.
Evolution. In other words, the World wants constant development and as little degradation and stagnation (going in circles) as possible. The World doesn't need that. Therefore, it doesn't make sense to give those who crave boundlessness (regardless of where, in intelligence, music, etc.) development problems, mental retardation, or average abilities. Such a person must possess talent, and I would even say, genius. No, these people are potentially Gods. There's no point in gifting laziness, indifference to development, someone who doesn't care about anything - with genius. They still won't strive for it
And yet, there are times when people with enormous ambitions fail to achieve them or face problems. Why?
Mental blocks. Using the example of Raskolnikov and his internal conflict: if he hadn't killed the old woman, hallucinations wouldn't have arisen in his mind (and they were a torment because in the hallucinations, the police were tormenting the landlady, and these visions wouldn't have occurred otherwise). Blocks can also arise from mental limitations.Laziness, apathy. All psychological factors that are already well-known to us. Why does a person love themselves but doesn't reach their goal? Let's say we live in a world of magic. Antonia wishes to become a fairy. She's a human. She believes that anyone can become a fairy and thinks she is capable of becoming one. But alas, she is not a mermaid, just a human. Mermaids are powerful, majestic. Humans are insignificant. Moreover, the color blue brings bad luck. And they live on blue land. So do the mermaids. Other mermaids live on red land. Therefore, the most successful mermaids will be the ones living on red land, not blue. A human has no chance because they can't make their way into the red land. This is a primitive example. But such things, which we may not fully realize or only partially understand, influence us. You can believe in yourself, but still fail due to traps in the mind (contradictions within oneself or internal conflicts).The best way is to constantly work and improve. Sooner or later, anyone can become a genius, and it doesn't matter if you're lagging behind others in development. You can catch up with and surpass them, just like Forrest Gump.
Yes, at the end of the movie, Forrest Gump is not mentally challenged because he realized and understood things that other people might not grasp:
Saving a comrade's life. During the war, he saved his comrade's life. I don't remember if the comrade died. This is from a moral perspective.
He assembled a gun for the war faster than anyone else, without having any instructions. This is impossible because anyone with average intelligence will always outperform someone who is mentally challenged. Always.
The meaning of a person's life: whether we have willpower. He independently analyzed and provided an answer.
It's hard to notice, but it seems he... understood that the son is Forrest. A syllogism.
You might argue that he's mentally challenged because he can't navigate in space, but in university, many students still don't understand how a coffee machine works, how to turn it on. You see? They stand there and don't fully understand it. No, this isn't a sign of low intelligence, just like Forrest Gump asking for help with spatial orientation.
People didn't believe in him. Average minds said he wouldn't achieve anything. Nothing. But they were wrong. Isn't that a mistake of reason?
I believe that the speed of thought is just a skill (mechanism + memory). It's about doing the same things but constantly increasing the speed. Intelligence is about skills.
See?
Low intelligence - understands their name. Average intelligence - plays chess. High intelligence - creates worlds. If a person with low intelligence has learned to play chess and has only one skill (which is often the case with children), it means their intelligence is average, and they are equal to adults (it's just that adults have many more skills developed in their average intelligence). If a person with low intelligence has created a world, then they are no longer mentally challenged. Not at all. High intelligence.
Have a great day!
