INTELLIGENCE BIAS



I have an intelligence bias. 

To get me to pay full attention and to likely get my unreserved alliance or following, you have to be able to make intelligent conversation without irrational sentiments or volatile emotions.

No matter how physically appealing you are (as sweet and sharp as that looks), you need some good sense and by that I don’t mean dishonest craftiness (as many Nigerians or Africans think).

I don’t even mean formal education necessarily, as good and beneficial as that may be in its own right, and when properly implemented can make for a decently effective, engaged and awakened mind.

I mean the ability to think through, understand and articulate basic concepts and ideas with as much precision, clarity and brevity as possible.

The vital mental capacity to clearly comprehend and communicate meaningfully, effectively, near-accurately and preferably succinctly to anyone.

It takes a beautifully robust, sound, well-nourished, well-tended, disciplined and deep-thinking mind to focus on a subject matter and drill down to glean key and useful insights, information and facts that are essential, relevant and relatively sufficient for understanding and relating it to diverse audiences.

Moreso, it is the wonderful ability to listen deeply, meaningfully, insightfully with due consideration, sincerity of purpose and guided judgment.

Beyond the noise of parroted phrases, redundant rhetoric and touting tactics, real intelligence seeks to engage with honesty, empathy and sagacity.

Armed with fairness, deep and lateral awareness, wholesome reciprocity, tempered and educated bias, regulated reaction, and so much more, true intelligence is a holistic capacity and process.

It is a powerful resource and valuable asset.

DESTROY THIS TEMPLE

Image
  "Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up."   The words of the Lord Jesus to the dangerous and conniving religious leaders of His day who sought to kill Him and thus to silence the Truth of Yahweh (YHWH). He said this in reply to their demand for a miraculous sign in query of the authority He had to chase the money changers and merchandise sellers from the Temple just after He had cleared the Temple of these economic profiteering activities in the (falsely) religious space.  This same Christ who is the Truth gave His Word and Spirit of Truth to His Apostles who, as He had done, also bore witness to the Truth even with their lives and passed the same Truth down to the Church, which is the Body of Christ, who is the Only Head of His One Body. Selah. To be clear, we don't need to chase any religious merchant from their self-owned religious centres or overturn any tables. We only need to "bear witness to The Truth" and "earnestly contend f...

SUPPORT NOT SUPPLANT

Image
  Do we have genuine connections? I’ll give a quick definition of the word supplant. So I can dwell more on the concept of support. To supplant means to take the place of, to displace, to replace or to undermine.  To support is to be actively interested in and concerned for the success of a person or thing, for example: supporting a particular sports team. It also means to provide assistance to, or give approval, comfort, or encouragement to.  It is a product of goodwill and belief in someone or something.  Many of us support different football teams which we gladly and passionately refer to as “our teams”. Observe the enthusiasm, excitement and in some cases excessive zeal or fanaticism with which we promote, defend and celebrate people who do we not personally know, or an enterprise from which we may not even earn a single penny or cent—except for those who are into sports betting.  That’s the power of connection. That’s the power of camaraderie. That’s the po...

OPEN LETTER TO EX AND WARNING TO SINGLES

Image
WARNING TO SINGLES ASPIRING TO MARRIGE AND OPEN LETTER TO AN UNSCRUPULOUS EX To whom it may concern. Don’t marry a man whose leadership, integrity, vision, commitment to and love for you you don’t trust and afterwards rebel against his authority.  Don’t marry a woman who doesn’t meet your standards or requirements, who is not committed to you, who pretends a lot, is deceitful, inauthentic, lacks healthy self-image and is led by or under the control of third parties or public expectation. Marriage is for adults.  Don’t let your parents or peers choose your spouse for you when you are not really into that person or if your values don’t align. Don’t be desperate to get married. Take responsibility for your choice.  Don’t also pretend before marriage so that your target marital candidate chooses you.  If you have already defaulted in these areas and married wrongly, hold yourself accountable and don’t put the blame on one person. Do not deploy sinister schemes to make th...
