I've literally been thinking about this same topic and discussed it with friends several times. Intellect has its advantages sure and perhaps now in modern times its been valued more because its a value generation tool as apposed to just being the fastest and strongest as it once was.
However intellect has its flaws you can outreason yourself and keep yourself within certain paramater because you're able to logically build an argument why it is this way and you actually start to narrow your focus and live in this little echo chamber of your own intellect
Sometimes you just gotta let go man and not think so much lol! The struggle is real
BTW I found your post via @mcnestler in the pay it forward submission of the week!
