Summary

This quote suggests that the true conflict in the world is not necessarily based on geographical or cultural divisions, but rather on the divide between individuals who possess intelligence and those who do not. It implies that intelligence transcends boundaries, and that the real battle is waged between those who seek knowledge, reason, and understanding, and those who might lack these qualities. This interpretation suggests that the key to overcoming these divisions lies in encouraging and prioritizing intellect and critical thinking, rather than focusing on superficial differences.
