The Purpose of Intelligence

"The purpose of intelligence is to eliminate lies and establish the truth. However, intelligence under the sway of passion, becomes the lie's defender. It becomes not only perverted but ill, losing its ability to distingusih truth from lies, good from bad. Every kind of lie or misconception, no matter where it is found, should be dealt with, as there are no harmless or useful lies."

~ Leo Tolstoy
