Talent asks what you can do; genius asks what you are becoming. Genius is not a credential or performance. It is the simultaneous advancement of mind, conscience, heart, body, and creative power. Today our world asks us not to become more—it asks you to become less. Stagnation is never neutral, and the final result of intellectual dulling will not arrive as a catastrophe, but as a habit. Choosing wisdom in today's culture which puts an emphasis on distraction and compliance is not self-improvement. It is the only serious form of resistance available. In today's modern world, passivity has already begun its work. We are beginning to see what it has taken from us. Now you decide whether you will give the rest freely away, or fight for what remains.
Scott, the prolific writer whose writings span more than 80 over the past decade explores in his latest book how the erosion of intelligence and its effects are shaping the future of humanity.
