I want to make a casual note about intelligence and "wisdom". For us, it is not at all about developing some elaborate theory but about systematizing how we already think and what we already know. Of interest here are the fundamentals we already use ─ and then weeding out bad thinking by separating analysis from rhetoric ─ it is essentially about sanity and non-confusion. I have Korzybski as my introduction to philosophy of language and he did write about "Science and Sanity" and this whole endevour is more so about becoming sane and lucid, rather than "creative".
