For me, sculpting your brain in adequacy corresponds to two things:
- have a good ability to use one's body on both sides (the right part of the body, and the left part of the body)
- have a broad intelligence, which encompasses the eight different intelligences that exist in the world.
It's something important.
This is important because the adequacy is related to the fulfillment of a person. Historically, Jews were rather small. We find this concept in many caricatures. Sometimes it's just racism, but sometimes it's a simple statement. In the Bible, we find this notion with little David who is fighting against the huge Goliath. It seems to me that if the Jews have long been small, it is precisely because of the adequacy. In general, the Jews have lacked this ability to sculpt adequacy. For a long time, Jews in Europe have lacked the intelligence that is over-interpretation. Even today, I find that Ashkenazim and Americans have trouble integrating this intelligence. They have trouble recognizing this intelligence and using it correctly.
So what is this intelligence, and how to use it?
Over-interpretation is an intelligence that consists in having expeditious reasoning, to anticipate future problems. If the reasoning is too expeditious, then it turns into paranoia, and it's very bad. But if it's moderate, then it's healthy and very beneficial. Concretely, this corresponds to having an important ferocity. When a person is over-interpretating, then she (
gallicism, sorry) wants to experiment everything. If a person sees a weak point in the person in front of her, then she will press and insist, again and again, until that weak point is no longer one. That's how we create security. To create security, one must test the other, again and again, until finally there is no weak point. The idea is to be provocative. When we over-interpret, then we want to provoke things. We want to know everything. Because it is better for a problem to happen now, as long as we are on our guard, and we are vigilant, rather than if a problem occurs later, when we do not expect it. Provocation is important for creating security. My paternal grandmother was small and frail (may she rest in peace), and despite that, she knew how to be provocative, and it was a strength she had.
