What is needed to understand ancient books is culture, not this abstraction you call "IQ";That is only a convenient, quantitative and abstract term akind to Megabytes.
Culture, on the other hand is similar to a layer of fertile Earth. Any ideas planted there will develope and come to full flower,and if you let them, will propagate themselves and become part of your inteligential flora.
I recently followed our host advice and reat "Eros and Magic".Since then, and without conscious effort, a lot of ideas had begun to rose, related to the book but also to the everyday world.
Inteligence is not a procesor, but a living structure.
