Knowledge Must be Used

Knowledge Must be Used

I have said before, having knowledge without sharing is meaningless. I have also said knowledge is not only personable but actionable. Chekhov reiterates this with his quote. We must put our knowledge into practice, or it has no value. Another way to convey this is, applying our knowledge to impact the physical world. Interestingly, if not scary, a recent study indicates a drop In IQ as much as 7 points every generation. Considering the average IQ is 98 in the United States, where does this leave future generations? Compare United States 98 with Singapore and Hong Kong having 108 average scores, American children are already behind. [Source]

The culmination of American poor diet, environment, and lack of proper education skills in the system is finally showing effect. That effect is a decrease in intelligence and knowledge.

Information is at an all-time high, but harnessing, understanding, while using critical thinking skills continue to decrease.

Those with the ability to think for themselves must continue to share that knowledge and put it into practice.
