The Declaration of Independence states “all men are created equal”. but may I state with some

reverence, it is “political/social hyperbole”

[hyperbole= exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken

literally].

Emotions are adaptive—in fact, they have a complexity born of a long evolutionary history—and although we conceive of emotions as feeling states, Robert Plutchik says the feeling state is part of a process involving both cognition and behavior and containing several feedback loops.”]

Gardner realized that people are used to hearing expressions like ‘He’s not very intelligent, but he has a wonderful aptitude for music’; thus, he was quite conscious of his use of the word intelligence to describe each category . He said in an interview, ‘I’m deliberately being somewhat provocative. If I’d said that there’s seven kinds of competencies, people would yawn and say ‘Yeah, yeah’. But by calling them intelligences,’ I’m saying that we’ve tended to put on a pedestal one variety called intelligence, and there’s actually a plurality of them, and some are things we’ve never thought about as being intelligence’ at all’.”
