Luis Britto García explores the nature and power of intelligence

In an essay exploring the nature of intelligence, Luis Britto García examines intelligence as a cosmic power and a tool of dominance. He notes that while intelligence is often measured by imprecise examinations, its distribution is unequal, similar to wealth.

Drawing on philosophical references, including Plato’s 'The Republic' and the works of André Malraux, the text discusses the relationship between intellect and power. García suggests that historical eras of greatness, such as the Renaissance or the Golden Age of Spain, were born from intensive thought, whereas societal decadence stems from the absence of intellectual engagement and the rise of arrogance.
