Quote by Joan D. Vinge

But our society does not grant nontraditional forms of intelligence equal recognition, no matter how much it would help us get along or truly enrich our lives.

But our society does not grant nontraditional forms of intel

Summary

This quote suggests that society undervalues and fails to acknowledge forms of intelligence that deviate from traditional norms. Despite the potential benefits of embracing different types of intelligence, such as promoting harmony and enhancing personal growth, society tends to prioritize and recognize only conventional forms of intelligence. This lack of acceptance hinders societal progress and deprives individuals of opportunities to contribute their unique skills and perspectives.

And I can guarantee you that none of these characters has any idea at all of what the theory of 'permanent revolution' originally meant.

My mother, a teacher, encouraged me to use my creativity as an actual way to make a living, and my father, a Mississippi physician, did two things. First, he taught me that all human beings should be treated equally because no one is better than anyone else, and he never pressured me to become a doctor.
