In this episode we discuss the tools of intelligence and how you can hone them to increase your own intelligence. Topics include:

• I open by defining intelligence and discussing how there are no more smarter people today than there ever were.
• I talk about how things were different before the internet and how these days everybody thinks they're the smartest person in the room.
• I talk about how information does not equal knowledge and how education does not equal intelligence.
• And then I introduce the tools of intelligence. These are tools you can develop within yourself to increase your own intelligence. And they are: logic, reason, rhetoric, critical thinking, skepticism, questioning, curiosity, and open-mindedness.
• Then I dive deep into each of these and explain why it is so important.
• The secret to all of this is the ability to remove yourself from the equation. It's our emotions and egos that always stand in the way of our objectivity.
• In this week's Call-to-Action we run one of our long standing beliefs through our filter of intelligence and apply all these tools to see if it still stands afterwards.
