So, "intellection" was a word of the day on Monday, August 5th. Given that this is one of my top 5 strengths according to StrengthsFinder, I, of course, had to ponder it in the Zibaldone. According to dictionary.com, "intellection" means "the action or process of understanding; the exercise of the intellect; reasoning."
Just to show the depth of my obsession, the first thing that came to mind was a deep desire to understand this process of understanding. This is my happy place. But intellection can be an inward-facing loop, giving the thinker years of fun without adding much to the world at large. I'm in that loop too often.
So, how does one ensure that intellection bears fruit?
