When discussing intelligence, conversations often center on cognitive abilities, achievement, and potential. However, one crucial aspect frequently overlooked is the communication range—the concept that individuals with exceptionally high intelligence may face unique social challenges due to their intellectual divergence from the norm.

In today’s world, we’ve built learning environments that are highly choreographed, structured, and linear. While this ensures predictability, are we unknowingly creating a vacuum where the potential for groundbreaking discovery is lost? Let’s consider the 2-3% of gifted children—kids with the IQ and potential to radically change fields, like Einstein, Newton, or Marie Curie. These historical figures didn’t thrive in a […]

Self-awareness, in its most refined form, is first-rate intelligence. Yet, there seems to be a growing trend of outsourcing this awareness to external apparatuses. The reason? Cultivating deep self-awareness takes consistent, cognitive effort—an introspective dive that requires us to look within ourselves at a level that demands ongoing exploration.

He explained that it’s not just about the innate skills they possess; they can also anticipate moves beforehand in their minds better than […]

I have regrets regarding the numerous pivots I’ve made with my startups. Along the way, I realized that the real issue wasn’t just identifying a problem; it was about understanding and addressing the underlying cause, a concept unfamiliar to many. Initially, I focused on mentoring and expert-led courses, striving to understand the value I was […]

My father retired in 2016, following the social script that had been etched in our minds since birth: retire at 60, settle into a quiet life. What we hadn’t realized then was the intricate dance of human behavior, the constant yearning for a moving goalpost that defines our life’s journey. Without much resistance, Father surrendered […]

Intelligence can be defined by several key traits, including curiosity, resilience, and the ability to learn. These traits are crucial in understanding and assessing human intelligence. However, when we hear about these traits, there is an inherent bias in our system that leads us to believe we possess them. While it is true that we […]
