1. I believe that the overall premise of this article is that society believes that intelligence is not the same, or as desirable, or often available in the same person at the same time, as goodness. The author uses several references to literature to back his points. Many of the heroes/heroines in his examples are good, but not intelligent, while the intelligent people are often the villains. This article makes an incredible argument that it is possible and desirable to be BOTH intelligent and good. They can come together.
2. I was unaware of how many examples of this there are in literature. I can be more aware and point these out to my children. I can teach more explicitly the importance of education coupled with goodness.
3. I was, frankly, disturbed by this article :). It gives me some heavy things to think about. I am uncomfortable because I see the points the author is making through his examples, and I have never noticed them before. I value education. A good person can be better with education. -KAE
