00:05You see, intelligence is not a fixed quantity. It's not like you're born with a certain amount

00:10of intelligence and then that's it. You might have a lot or you might have a little bit. But

00:15either way, it's not like you can improve it or make it worse. That's just not true.

00:19Your intelligence is always evolving, always changing. You can learn new things and then

00:24forget them again. You can gain knowledge and understanding, but that doesn't necessarily

00:28make you smarter. It just makes you more informed. You are as smart as you want to be.

00:33What actually makes you smarter is your ability to think critically and solve problems. If you can

00:38do that, then you are smart. And if you can't, then you are not. There is no in between. So the next
