the moral intelligence is what counts

Well, the story is not exactly unique. Beauty and the beast but maybe with a twist.

The womanizer "business-man" gets his justice in the end and it is served by the idiot as far as mainstream intelligence goes. This idiot does however know what is right and what is wrong and why you have to act upon it. That is another kind of intelligence - moral intelligence and today very few possess it. But through pain their number may increase, maybe reaching the point of no return and then there will be changes. But if they don't hold on to it and teach it to their children, the passion will die again and we will have rich and poor again.

If we want a society, in which the giant idiot will have his place of respect, we can have it. But then all material inequality has to go forever and are we up for it? Are we up for treating our fellow human beings as goals in themselves and not means for our goals? Are we up for justice? You don't need main-stream intelligence to know what is right. In fact, that kind of intelligence may fool you. It has its place and could be a tool for justice but without the intelligence of love, which is always the love for justice, main-stream intelligence is good for nothing.

A simple story but somehow handled so that I could see the association that made out this review.
