Intelligence/Experience

August 31st, 2007

I just saw the Star Trek: Wrath of Khan again. It was the second of the Star Trek movie series. One of the comments which Spock made about Khan was that he was intelligent but not experienced. Intelligence is one thing. Experience is another. Experience is one thing. Intelligence is another. They are 2 different ways to see reality. One comes from rationale, the other comes from empirical. Both of them have to, in some way, conjoin in order to provide what we call wisdom and judgment.
