Education is the acquisition of knowledge, while intelligence is the ability to use that knowledge to think and reason. One can be highly educated but not necessarily intelligent, and vice versa.

@ProfFeynman This is why it’s not just important to learn new knowledge, but to apply what you’ve learned. By applying knowledge, you are showing that you have really absorbed what you’ve learned.

@ProfFeynman School often just gives the students a bunch of information and thats that. Until they use that information, apply it and actually learn something on their own, they simply just have a bunch of facts floating around their heads which is basically only good for trivia

@ProfFeynman The educated are focused on providing the taught answers. The intelligent are focused on the questions that gave rise to those answers.

@ProfFeynman "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand" - Albert Einstein

@ProfFeynman I come across to these highly educated people, mostly in art exhibitions, with different age and genders. It's sad that some of them, their ego slow them down. Harvard dude was surprised by my perception and conclusions without the uni degree omg! La Passion, dude, note that.

@ProfFeynman Simply put, education provides information. Intelligence organizes/connects this information for making rational decisions. Maturity is in making rational decisions with the objective of world peace & greater good.

@ProfFeynman @SianteiJama And this is where AI comes in. We are in a world where you don't need to be educated nor intelligent. Just lazy enough to use AI effectively.

@ProfFeynman Every quote of Feynman I hear, makes me long for the days of real scientists like him. Those days are gone. Now we have @neiltyson - a fake scientists who openly argues that science is about accepting consensus. Its embarrassing.

@ProfFeynman I think that people that can live their lives pretty much the way they want to live their lives from birth to death are the most intelligent people on the earth.

@ProfFeynman Not everyone who is educated is intelligent and not everyone who is intelligent is educated.

@ProfFeynman One can be taught how to improve one’s ability to think and reason, though, and thus in a sense education can increase intelligence.

@ProfFeynman What the world really needs is neither the knowledge of the outer world nor the intelligence to use that knowledge for materialistic things .World really needs love, compassion and wisdom to understand the world inside us.

@ProfFeynman Wisdom is your ability to use knowledge for thinking and reasoning and find a solution to a problem. Wisdom surpasses knowledge and intelligence. Wisdom is the depth of the ocean of knowledge that you reach using intelligence.

@ProfFeynman And wisdom is the application of intelligence and reason to evaluate knowledge learned.

@ProfFeynman I completely agree with your point, Professor Feynman. Education provides us with knowledge, but intelligence is what allows us to apply that knowledge effectively. It's important to strive for both in order to succeed in life and make a positive impact on the world.

@ProfFeynman This is true. As a retired military enlisted puke, I have seen MANY clueless 2nd lieutenants.

@ProfFeynman If in school a student has and does not validate all the ideas taught to them, they are not educated, but indoctrinated. Before learning ideas, students must first learn to think competently for themselves. Perhaps one day.

@ProfFeynman @ClayZaddy As someone far from highly educated, it never ceases to amaze me how many highly educated people lack any sort of intelligence or common sense.

@ProfFeynman 'Acquisition of 'knowledge' ' ?? If he actually said/wrote this, Feynman here sees machines & humans as interchangeable & equivalent insofar as education & intelligence are concerned. Obviously education does not either presuppose or entail intelligence. But can it create it?

@ProfFeynman One can also be intelligent but not necessarily wise. Wisdom is taught at home but at school.

@ProfFeynman Some mentor told me Intelligence is "behavior change" If you really learned something you change, if not, no Simple, practical

@ProfFeynman But there is a dimension of intelligence which is beyond thinking and reasoning...

@ProfFeynman True. Education provides knowledge and skills, but it's up to the individual to apply it effectively. Intelligence encompasses cognitive abilities that enable critical thinking and problem-solving. Education and intelligence are related, but not the same thing.
