Quote by Michael Crichton
They don't have intelligence. They have what I like to call 'thintelligence.' They see the immediate situation. They think narrowly and they call it 'being focused.' They don't see the surround. They don't see the consequences. That's how you get an island like this. From thintelligent thinking.
Summary
This quote criticizes individuals who possess limited intelligence or "thintelligence." It suggests that these people focus solely on the present situation, lacking broader perspective or consideration of long-term consequences. The quote implies that this narrow-minded thinking leads to poor decision-making and undesirable outcomes, such as the creation of an isolated and problematic island. By highlighting the dangers of thintelligent thinking, the quote promotes the importance of broader intelligence and the ability to perceive the wider context in decision-making processes.
