This is by Anthony Rizzi Summing up what he had just written in the same paragraph about St. Thomas.
"In short, our minds are true intellects, but barely intellects, so they are more comfortable at the lower levels of thinking than the higher."
He concludes the next paragraph with this sentence.
"It is the problem of our weak intellect that we can only approach easily that which is next to nothing, and the higher things only come with much effort."
This seems to provide an answer to the problem of knowing any number of people who are obviously smarter than ourselves yet are dumber than dirt.

Yes.
I know how you all feel.
I don't like these quotes either.
I don't like them even more because they seem to ring true.
If they are true then it is good that we know it.
If they are not true it is even more important to know it.

JB - "" Perhaps it is not about being "smarter than" .......But about being OPEN TO" - JB
Open to...... Lets change - "It is the problem of our weak intellect that we can only approach easily that which is next to nothing, and the higher things only come with much effort." to ((( It is the problem of our weak intellect that we can only approach easily that which we are OPEN TO, and the things we are not OPEN TO, only come with much effort. )))
Yes. That works for me.
Thank you JB. Nice insight. Nice demonstration of Creativity in action.
Have a good IDea today,
