Refinement of basic intelligence ..

Ancient Hindu scriptures say that every living thing has basic intelligence.

Basic intelligence consists of - ability to eat, ability to sleep, ability to self defend and ability to have sex for procreation.

Based on the "Sthana-kala-patra" which translates to "Location, time and object" one or more of these basic intelligence govern the living things to perform the appropriate action.

So, it was baffling for my neighbors (parents of a 6th grader girl child), when the international school she goes to send a declaration to get signed by parents on "Sex Education".

They thought back through their own times and realized no one really taught anything to them when they were 6th graders. What all the school really want to teach ? Should it get in to the God given basic intelligence stuff ? Which every living thing is born with ?

Mankind is refining the basic intelligence over thousands of years. When not to eat, how much to eat ? When to sleep ? How long ? What is self defence and what is un-provoked attack ?

May be education is still appropriate on this refined basic intelligence. But, like everything that is taught, it would not be unbiased :)
