Intelligence is a funny thing. From the people who decide what exactly "intelligence" entails to its utilization in society, the gradual nuances of intelligence are interesting. It must be important to define exactly what intelligence is, although this seems an immense task. I think it's fair to say, however, that there is much more to intelligence than just thought. You could think all of the most provocative or beautiful or revolutionary ideas in the world but if you can't convey them, then your intelligence is useless. Is useless intelligence even intelligence at all? I think that to be truly intelligent, you must have something to say with conviction, you must say it in a beautiful and profound way, and you must be able to gauge how to present it. You have to be the quintessential Renaissance man. If you are truly intelligent, you should be able to captivate even the most elementary audience. Otherwise, society would turn into a small minority of elitists competing and debating incredibly abstract and impractical ideas, which, in the end, doesn't really get the majority anywhere. I fear that some people think abstract things such as philosophy are justifiably only discussed by the elite, when really I think the entire idea should be to say something practical and something that is, on some level or at some point, utilitarian.
