Visionary Intelligence

The United States is the world's technology leader because their social system removes barriers to visionary intelligence.

Some definitions used on this page:

Visionary Intelligence – Is not based on luck or chance, it is developed by managing the elements. Concepts are inspired.

What is inspiration? A passing thought related to our goal. Very often this is very brief and needs to be recorded at the time or it will be lost. Sometimes this is the missing information we are looking for, but it has to be researched or tested for feasibility.

Natural talent? All of us came into this world to fulfill a purpose based on our natural talent, a talent that was given to us during birth. For example: In movies we have seen 5 year old actresses sing and dance. We ask our self, how can they learn these skills at such a young age? Parents recognized their talent and found ways to develop it.

The discovery of our natural talent and developing it is the key to above average intelligence. Visionary skill is a natural talent. When developed, these people are considered a genius, because their concepts always seem to be right.

Visionary concepts are received via inspiration and enhanced by viewing them from different perspectives. The quality of inspiration is also dependent on our values. The "Ten Commandments" is a powerful example. The following chart list elements that influence quality of visionary intelligence.

Visionary Intelligence

Education skills and intuitive connections work together to inspire new ideas.

• Education skills refer to how we learn after formal education years. It is a skill of learning how to learn versus learning how to be taught or how to take test.
• Inspiration is an idea, concept that comes and goes, sometimes in a flash. Recording it on paper makes it permanent.
• Destiny refers to intuitive guidance, an influencing power that has us at the right place, at the right time where opportunity is offered. It supports our personal achievement goals. This guidance will last for months or years until our goal is reached.
• Advanced visionary techniques need support of many people that have the freedom to dream outside the box. Freedom limits in social environments controls development limits of advanced techniques.
• Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft was a teenager when he developed the personal computer (PC) concept. His visionary intelligence made him wealthy. As his organization grew, millions of people became wealthy using his concept. This was possible because of his social circles, freedom to express opinions and opportunity to develop them.
• Lack of opportunity and limited freedom are barriers to innovation and personal achievement. Common barriers are imposed by government, social circles, and relatives. There are areas where groups of people are free of barriers, they have freedom to express opinions and ideas; they are the innovators and technology leaders. Silicon Valley, California, USA is one of many.

Year 2017 update

• I have been informed that some technology leaders in Silicon Valley had to resign their position because of their social/political views. Restricted freedom of opinions becomes a barrier to visionary thinkers by everyone in their social circle. This may be the beginning of the end of Silicon Valley’s technology leadership.
• University of California, Berkley now has limits on free speech. Only liberal (left leaning) speakers are allowed to give speeches. They consider conservative (right leaning) speakers as hate speech, thereby, protecting their version of free speech based on their perspective. This may be an early sign for the end of expanding technology as we know it today. In Germany, during the 1930s, books considered enemy of the state were outlawed and ordered to be burned. Hitler took control of this movement with no opposition and you know the rest of the story. Berkley students are doing the same thing today, except by internet, preventing opposition. This would be the death of visionary intelligence.
