SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE is culturally confined, exclusive, imposing and rigid. If these were to be the hallmarks of social intelligence then how could we come so far, from hunting in the jungles to our voyages to mars and moon???
Social intelligence is purely reference based that is, “it is written like this in the text book don’t question it, are you smarter than the books?”, oh what a pity and irony those text books were also written by human beings like us and that which is valued as the ultimate cutting edge today goes into the dustbin or at the maximum appears in history books 50 years later, then why so much undue importance to the printed text?
It was social intelligence that persecuted Galileo Galilee when he discovered that earth was not the center of the universe. It was social intelligence that made the mockery of Orville and Wilbur Wright, the Wright brothers, when they started experimenting with the possibility of flight. It was social intelligence that had a hearty laugh at Albert Einstein when it (social intelligence) was unable to comprehend his concepts of mass energy conversion and his insights into relativity. So we see clearly that all that whatever we appreciate as great and ground breaking today was a matter of ridicule and scorn at its inception and social intelligence is to blame for all the ridicule and scorn.
Social intelligence is born in present out of past, that is it is the sum total of all our understandings from the entire past up till this moment. Social intelligence views the present moment through the looking glass of past information and projects the future as per its understanding of past. So there is no room for freshness, creativity, originality and innovation. Social intelligence is nothing but past lived in the present and projected into future, it like living a life in a continuous flashback mode. That precisely is the reason why we end up in “same situations different places, similar relations or relation dramas different faces”. If we were to closely and keenly analyze our lives we would be surprised to see that we are almost living a PATTERN in our lives in everything we do. From school through college to work place we are stuck in same performance levels (mediocre remains mediocre and failures remain failures). From adolescence to present day each and every relationship we have is running itself at a spinal level in a pattern we have created for it with no freshness, no liveliness, no excitement or joy at its core.
For example, certain people have a pattern of becoming familiar with the other person very quickly then entering into a very intense relationship soon the intensity dies off and so does their interest in the other person and they just sit and wait (unknowingly, subconsciously though) to find a reason an excuse to put some blame on the other person and walk out of the relation and the person.
Some people have the pattern of being extremely enthusiastic, positive, and optimistic and dedicated towards their NEW job. But as soon as the NEW job does NOT remain NEW anymore their enthusiasm turns into boredom, their positivity turns into fault finding with the system, their optimism becomes delusion of “overburden and exploitation” and their dedication soon turns into excuses and lethargy.
We too like the people exemplified above have a pattern in each and every aspect of our life (we may have identified it or may not have) and we religiously and dutifully continue to live it even without our knowledge because we choose to live by the staleness of social intelligence.
Social intelligence is nothing but a SEEMINGLY (not actually) LOGICAL CONCLUSION DRAWN FROM PAST applied to live the present and project the future. That is why no innovation, no creativity, no discovery or invention is possible by social intelligence since all these have never happened (occurred) in the past and there are no logical ways, means or understanding available to accomplish the same.
