Intelligence

Contrary to some beliefs, intelligence is fixed. Intelligence and the level(s) of intelligence present in a human specimen, is an innate entity. The only intelligence that is not fixed is crystallized intelligence. Knowledge is accumulated and internalized while standard intelligence is natural and sought out but not heightened. Knowledge is a constituent of intelligence, but the ability to internalize, interpret, and utilized information effectively is my exposition for intelligence.

The Five Constituents of Physics

This post was contrived to showcase my personal observations on what constitutes physics. The first constituent of physics is innovation. Innovation is the factor that propels the inventions and research in physics. Innovation is a defining and primary factor in both technology and in all of science. Without innovation physics would be in both an intellectual and didactic rut. The previous statement would also apply to all scientific principles. The second constituent of physics is complexity. Complexity is the state in which physics operates. Without complexity physics would be a somewhat minute and minuscule entity (scientific and intellectual). The third constituent of physics is the universe. Physics along with astronomy is a leading factor in the study and research of the universe. Without physics the study and information of the universe would be obsolete and incomplete. The fourth constituent of physics is interdisciplinary. Like all scientific disciplines, physics has the ability to merge with other disciplines to further knowledge of nature and how it works. Interdisciplinary are extremely important to the research and the knowledge of the constituents and functions of nature. The fifth constituent of physics is stimulation. The complexity of physics brings about stimulation in both cognitive entities and in crystallized intelligence.

Levels of Materialism Dualism, and Idealism

Materialism and dualism I think are interwoven constituents in life, death, and the afterlife. Dualism manifests itself on Earth, materialism in death and decomposition, and the spiritual afterlife is mainly composed of idealism interwoven with dualism.

Intellectualism

This post was contrived and/or composed to showcase my personal definition and thoughts of intellectualism and the level of intellectualism in America (modern times). Intellectualism is the defining factor of humanity, it is an innate activity that some pursue and others reject. The 5 components of intellectualism are knowledge, intelligence, complexity, cognition, and inquiry/inquisition. I believe modern society/America is now in the midst of an intellectual hole. The lack of concern in modern society towards intellectualism has put America in a compromising state in all aspects of its infrastructure(education, innovation, scientific literacy, etc.). Along with or including science, intellectualism is the most compelling and significant entity that manifests itself in both the earthly world and the spiritual world.

Scientific Literacy

Scientific literacy is one of the most significant forms of literacy and/or educational intellectualism from a personal standpoint. My reasoning behind the aforementioned statement is of the profound simplicity and complexity that science exhibits and has. Science is an intellectual entity that contains four major components of intellectualism, innovation, complexity,  inquiry, and intelligence(standard and crystallised). By practicing and/or utilizing the principles and skills presented in science better cognition and overall intelligence can be acquired. My personal definition of scientific literacy is the understanding, application, utilization, and interpretation of scientific concepts. Scientific literacy is not solely acquired through effective education but also through personal scientific inquiry and personal engagement in the sciences.
