Re: merits of Talent, demerits of raw Reason

I feel like I should have a pretty good reason (Good, at least): I'm more brains than brawn.

But when I consider my mechanical ability, I come up way short. And the ability to build is a huge part of the Reason slot.


I think there are plenty of little professor types who could not figure out how to plug in a hair dryer without help, but are great at retaining knowledge, using that knowledge creativley (for problem solving) and developing new knowledge. Maybe "brains" and "natural mechanical ability" (sometimes being called "he's good with his hands" ) should be two different things.

At least we know this: In a rough sense, there are different types of intelligence.
