All men have equal intelligence—“Everything is in everything"

            I would like to mention  some ideas from Dr. … , Liberal Art school’s lecturer  Walailak Univ. , that I have gotten them after interviewing him yesterday ,pointing  out the Thai context of a grass root ’s movement  as a result of  individual  rights to create social justice base on the recognition of multiple forms of social diversity. He emphasized   the Thailand democracy is an illusion that has been exposed—don’t blame Thai  grass root heart & head ,we should really  learn something and to relate to it all the rest by this principle : all men have equal intelligence—“Everything is in everything” (Jacques Ranciere , The Ignorant Schoolmaster, Five Lessons in Intellectual Emancipation).A strong point of this view , I go on to say something question whether  you used to obvious  “under all of aspects in many Thai situation  divide group into two --divide intelligence into two as an inferior intelligence and a  superior intelligence ”infact, The method of equality was above all a method of this view. One could learn by oneself and without a master explicator when one want to ,propelled by one’s own desire or by the constraint of the situation. Is this situation imply the Thailand democracy  illusion ? I used to quest why someone criticize you  ,but you can’t criticize him/her, why someone force you to do many things ,but  it is meaningless that work would  constitute  self-reliance – am I the person whom  is an inferior intelligence that  can not act spontaneously,and so on.
