Dr. Yaounde Olu, Artist, Science Educator, and Astrologist;Mystic Wayne Sebamurti Gentry, Co-Founder of the Seba Im Aunk Foundation and author of, "The Nature of Intelligence: A Look Beyond Mere Thinking", and myself, Dr. Gloria Latimore-Peace came together to explore the concept of "intelligence,” which, like so many other abstractions expressed in the English language, is grossly misrepresented. "Intelligence," like "education," [1] is inherent in us, i.e. it is something with which we are born, as Wayne Sebamurti Gentry asserts, "Intelligence is our nature."
Authentic intelligence, therefore, cannot be quantified/measured by "intelligence tests,” aka "IQ" tests, which are inherently biased. These tests are limited to the language of the dominant social group, who are also the authors of the tests. They exclude those for whom English is not their "mother tongue," i.e., first language. Also, the fact that the tests are standardized on white, middle-class testees, further exacerbates the biases against those who are neither middle-class nor white. Thus, the term, I.Q., is a misnomer, a pseudonym that conceals the hidden motive of such "tests.”
The goal of IQ tests is to validate so- called "white supremacy" while serving as an "inferiorization" mechanism for "people of color.” Intelligence, as defined by the dominant group, bears watching.
It is our aim to shed light on this and other matters via the two H3O Art of Life Shows that follow: "The Art of Intelligence" featuring: Dr. Yaounde Olu and "Intelligence and Impermanence,” featuring: Wayne Sebamurti Gentry.
Blognote:
The etymological root of education is "educere" which means "to bring forth out of" -rather than the other way around, i.e., to pour into.
