Truth For The Intelligent Man
Intelligence
Lies not in fancy equations.
Intelligence
Lies not in mental models.
Intelligence
Lies not in the nonsense
That intellectuals speak of.
Those things
Are not intelligence.
Those things
Are the Attempt To Appear Intelligent.
The man who follows fads
Cannot be said to be intelligent.
Because after following many of them,
His intelligence would have informed him,
That fads do not work.
The reason that fads exist,
The reason that flavors of the day exist,
The reason that tips and tricks exist,
The reason that advertising exists,
Is because it thrives.
The reason it thrives
Is because those for whom it is made
Are not intelligent.
And since there is a sufficient and hearty population
That is not intelligent,
The market is ripe for the propaganda.
If the majority were intelligent,
Such things would not exist.
Because then they could not thrive.
The World is a place
Of brochures, bumper stickers,
Flyers, pamphlets, sensationalism,
Bells and whistles, red herrings, and outright lies.
This is not a problem.
But if one does not recognize this,
It becomes an enormous problem For Him.
Because he then becomes
A victim.
Whether it is success,
Becoming wealthy,
Becoming realized,
Becoming healthy,
Becoming peaceful,
Or any and every thing
That a man way want . . .
If one is given The Truth,
He can achieve it.
If he is given lies and propaganda,
He likely will never achieve it.
Everyone in the world
Is doing all sorts of things.
There is nothing wrong
With doing all sorts of things.
Everyone in the world
Is doing all sorts of things.
But despite doing all sorts of things
They are not reaching their goals.
Despite doing all sorts of things
For many years,
They are not going anywhere.
It requires an intelligent man
Even to consider this.
The unintelligent man
Will simply continue
The doing
Of the all sorts of things.
The intelligent man
May ask himself,
That if he seeks to achieve a particular thing,
Whatever that thing may be,
Does he wish to Minimize the time it takes
To acquire it?
Or does he wish to Maximize the time it takes
To acquire it?
The intelligent man
May ask himself,
That if he seeks to achieve a particular thing,
Whatever that thing may be,
Does he seek to put forth the maximal effort,
For effort-sake?
Or does he wish to put forth just enough effort
To achieve that thing?
The intelligent man
May ask himself,
That if he seeks to achieve a particular thing,
Whatever that thing may be,
Does he seek propaganda, hype, and all that the world offers?
Or does he seeks The Truth
About achieving it.
Why does the world do this?
One must be willing to understand
That the world not a place of Quality.
It is a place of quantity.
The World
Is not a place of Depth.
It is a place of volume.
The World
Is not interested
In what is True.
Truth is not its mandate.
Truth is not its goal.
Truth is not its interest.
The interest of the world and its experts
Lies in getting the most eyeballs.
Getting the most likes.
Getting the most people gathered.
Getting the most comments.
Getting the most nickels and dimes from as many people as possible.
The World
Deals in volume.
It is for this reason
That its bread and butter . . .
Its target and its sights . . .
Is The Masses.
Because The Masses
Is a place of Volume.
The higher the volume,
The better.
The masses are not intelligent.
Therefore, they will believe anything.
The masses have nickels and dimes.
A collection of many nickels and dimes
Creates a large heap of cash.
The masses are valuable
To The World.
The ones who achieve their goals
Are ones who are Intelligent.
They examine.
They discern.
They investigate.
They think.
The masses
Do not have time
To examine, discern, investigate, and think.
Therefore,
They are a tailor-made audience
And a match made in heaven
For The World.
Because The World
Is only interested in pumping out mass content at scale,
And millions of fads.
And the masses are ready
To buy into any and all fads that are released.
Not that they shouldn’t.
They may continue to do so.
And they will.
As they always have.
And The World will continue to do so
As it always has.
One who is Intelligent
Has the ability not to succumb
To the World.
If he really has intelligence,
He will understand
That Truth is his immensely valuable,
Completely indispensable,
And only practical ally.
Namaste.
