지능, 도덕성, 그리고 선물의 부담

### 지능과 도덕성의 복잡한 관계
* 🧠 사람들은 종종 도덕성을 **성실성, 온화함 등의 성격 특성**과 연관시켜 **부지런하고 배려심이 많은 사람**을 더 도덕적인 사람으로 여깁니다.
* 🤝 양심은 보수적인 미덕으로 볼 수 있는 반면, **동의는 도덕성의 다른 차원을 반영하는 자유주의적 이상**에 더 부합합니다.
* 📊 특히, 지능과 도덕성 사이에는 상관관계가 없으며, **지적 능력과 도덕적 가치를 분리**해야 할 필요성을 강조합니다.
* ⚖ 인지 능력의 격차로 인해 **IQ가 낮은 사람은 어려움을 겪는 반면, IQ가 높은 사람은 더 많은 기회를 얻는 경우**가 많기 때문에 공정성에 대한 의문이 제기될 수 있습니다.
* 😇 그러나 높은 지능은 개인이 자신의 인지적 재능을 **도덕적 우월성과 동일시**할 수 있기 때문에 자만심의 유혹으로 이어질 수 있습니다.
* 💔 임상에서 인지능력이 낮은 일부 사람들은 놀라운 회복력과 친절함을 보여주며 **지능이 곧 선함**이라는 가정에 도전했습니다.
* 📖 종교적 가르침에 따르면 **지능과 같은 은사에는 책임**이 따르며, 이러한 은사를 오용하면 **부정적인 결과**를 초래할 수 있습니다.
* 🔍 궁극적으로 이 이야기는 지성만을 숭배하는 것에 대해 경고하며, **자신의 능력에 따른 도덕적 의무를 인정하는 균형 잡힌 시각**을 옹호합니다.

도덕적 인성은 종종 인지 능력을 초월하기 때문에 지능은 도덕적 가치와 동일하지 않습니다.

if you look at the personality attributes the two or three that you would most associate let's say with morality Like It's Tricky and there's not a one-to-one relationship and I'm not implying that but generally speaking people regard those who are

conscientious diligent hardworking reliable industrious as moral now that's not the only dimension of morality because you also have agreeableness when and more people who are more agreeable in our society at least are also deemed more moral because they're more caring

more empathic they're more polite and so you could even see conscientiousness as the conservative virtue and agreeableness as the liberal virtue if you wanted to it doesn't matter those are the places where virtue seems to be captured to some degree in the

personality models there's zero correlation with IQ like zero and so another way and it's very important to discriminate intellectual capacity let's say or Merit from moral worth because it's also the case that the intelligent have their temptations the evil figures

of Mythology are always Stellar intellects gone spectacularly wrong that's why it's always the evil scientist in the modern mythologies right all the enemies of the superheroes are evil scientists they're all Evil Geniuses and that's because General

cognitive ability is not only not associated with morality per se it's worse than that in a sense I think because it is definitely the case that higher General cognitive ability confers upon you a tremendous advantage in a complex society cuz you can learn faster

and the differences are not trivial, it's the biggest single difference between people: general cognitive ability. And it's an appalling literature to familiarize yourself with to some degree because it does seem to violate the principles, on first glance, of universal cosmic justice. It's like, why is it fair

for some people to be born with an IQ of 85, which barely makes you competent even to be a member of the Armed Forces, regardless of what role you're in, or to have an IQ of 145, which opens the doors, let's say, to places like Harvard and investment

banking as a career strategy? The cards are dealt out in a relatively arbitrary way. Well, that's a very bitter pill to swallow, but it is also the case that those who are intelligent have the temptation of Lucifer, essentially, if you think about it mythologically, because

it's very easy to worship your own intellect and then to worship intellect per se, and that's a very, very dangerous thing to do, to develop that sense of wounded intellectual if people aren't bowing at your feet or even the presumption that merely because

you've been gifted with intelligence, it's not something you earn, you've been gifted with intelligence, that means that you're of stellar moral character. I was really shocked in my clinical practice, you know, quite regularly because I had some people in my practice who were

definitely in the lower quintile of intelligence, let's say, very, very impaired, unable to read, certainly unable to use a computer, virtually unemployed, lovable, regardless of how much effort was poured into that, yet often unbelievably admirable in their ability to bear up

under the complex and stressful conditions of their life without being bitter or resentful while still being of service to other people it was really shocking to me to watch that and a reminder that just because you're intelligent doesn't mean you're good and

that's what we do in our culture and the leftists are particularly egregious in this regard I would say to casually equate cognitive ability with moral worth I you know if you have a materialist viewpoint that's a very easy thing to do it's a very easy thing to do it's a hard

thing to fight against our society does differentially award people with high general cognitive ability because our society is very complex and rapidly changing so we differentially devote resources to the cognitively skilled and our culture is set up so that that's more and more the

case but then there's another issue too that I think is equally relevant you see the worship of of the intellect in and of itself has this danger of pride that's associated with it and it's a very big danger so the way we should be conceptualizing intelligence is the

manner in which gifts are portrayed in the gospel accounts for example so one of the things Christ says two things that are in some ways contradictory one of them is that to those who have everything more will be given and from those who have nothing everything will

be taken okay so that's the Matthew principle that's what the economists call it and it is a pointer to the fact that regardless of the discipline resources accrue in the hands of a few it's and that's what Marx observed when he said

that capital would accrue in the hands of fewer and fewer people that's true it happens all the time it happens in every society it doesn't matter whether it's a capitalist society or socialist society by the way and so he attributed that to

capitalism which meant he misdiagnosed the problem because it's way deeper than capitalism but it is the case that rewards are differentially distributed and that those in the higher echelons of the cognitive distribution are more likely to accrue those rewards but there's

another statement there that's also relevant which is that to those who have been given much much will be required like a gift that you misuse turns into your enemy and this is more to the Justice elements like you might be rewarded like your IQ is stellar thank

your lucky stars does that make you privileged absolutely does it make you unfairly privileged it depends on what you do with it like if you bore a responsibility that was commensurate with the talent then you've paid existentially for your gift and the

classical warning in deep religious texts is that if you misuse a gift that you've been granted it will become an unbearable burden and turn itself against you
