  • Objectively speaking, intelligence is considered to be the ability to reason. Following that line, high intelligence would be the ability to reason well.

    However, we humans do well because we specialize. It was discovered early on that we can’t do everything. One could say it’s our individuality which drives us towards having different proficiencies and the entire chain of schooling would better serve to explore and encourage pursuing such specializations.

    Where the means to cultivate proficiency are lacking, the end result will often be incomplete. That shouldn’t mean there is a lack of intelligence, but that it hasn’t been developed to its potential. I would say… the base intelligence remains the same while expectations rise in concert with each own’s path of development.

    Life is neither easy nor fair. And opportunities aren’t equal. So i often try to remind myself that perspective changes with experience and as such any standard we set ourselves and others to tend to be laced with personal bias.

    Yup. They usually change the details like having a farm or a local family business, but it’s generally the same framework.

    I started watching them back when it was a new thing, they were welcomed wholesomeness. Then it was for the actors they managed to trick into playing the roles - usually people from Sy-Fy series like Eureka and Stargate Atlantis. For a while it was said Hallmark became the place where the careers of actors came to die. Eventually, i reached a stage where I barely watch and just listen, if even that. Still, it’s somewhat soothing i suppose. I’ve never come to actively dislike them, despite the churn mill style.

    A Hallmark type movie. Don’t remember the name as I just use them sometimes as background noise, but it was the usual kind: woman unwillingly goes back to hometown, clashes with parent about career vs having a family, meets childhood sweetheart, plot, decides to stay at the end.
