Intelligence is how humanity has been endowed by evolution. Darwinian for to survive in an environment savage. Thanks to it, we now dominate the world and matter. This legacy ancestral, the fruit of millions of years of devolution and selection, is our asset the more precious. The attention and energy that each generation devotes to her transmission are huge. In some classes social, she is the same an obsession with permanent conditions conditioning all life choices: the place of residence, dating, wedding rings matrimonial, and Hobbies. Education is the keystone of this work of transmission. If it consists widely in the acquisition of instruction, that's to say of the knowledge useful at the life in society, meaning that completed by skill at mobilizing their knowledge and at the associate. This is this that we appointed intelligence. The major work of the child who grows up exercises it. Of the hours countless have passed to develop it. It is even the only effort that we request from our children: exercise their brains. Intelligence is today the only real distinction; to be deprived of it, the only true disability. The success of professionals and the hierarchy social in closely dependent. The diplomas themselves are less the sanction of the work provided only a signal of intellectual performance, regardless of the effort accomplished to reach it. Intelligence is the inequality that society corrects least well today. At a time when the "ceilings of glass are fought with determination - sex, ethnic and social origins - it is the last frontier of equality. A board that goes is abolished in them decades who are coming.
