Read a book that says "Humans have similar intelligence after all: most of us are smarter than apes and a bit inferior to Einstein. What makes a difference is knowledge. How much we know directly affects how well we think."
ヒトの知能はそんなに変わらない。ほとんどのひとの知能は、チンパンジーとアインシュタインの間だ。だとすれば、頭の良さを左右するのは情報量だ。情報１と情報２を繋ぎ合わせて新たなアイデアを生む、論理を生む、一般化する。頭の中の情報が多ければ多いほどそのための材料がたくさんある。ググる時代だけど、情報が頭の中にあるか、いちいち探さなければならないかでできることは全然違う。
It makes total sense. I've been always wondering how I can be smarter. I need to read more and build a solid knowledge foundation on various topics. Then I'll be able to connect different pieces of information together to build new ideas and solve problems. In this age of googling, the value of knowledge may have been underestimated, but what you have in your brain is very different from what you need to look up from somewhere else!!
