The reason why I think David brooks suggest crystallizing intelligence over fluid intelligence is because it helps you with life long skills. He makes key in the article about why crystallizing intelligence is better for you. Crystallized intelligence does help with use knowledge and experience, but its also a slower learning process, but it will help you because it will stick to your long-term memory. Brooks is a person that’s all about knowledge. He thinks the more you read books the smarter you will be. You have to remember look how old he is, I’m pretty sure they didn’t have the phone now days. That’s how he grew up learning. In my eyes David Brooks believe that being on internet more then in a book is not very good because what you see on social media you forget in 20 min. Also you have better personal experience with people instead of social apps. In the article he states good things about fluid intelligence so I know he not against it.
