Intellect

Intellect unifies, reason distributes. Intellect is in touch with Unity, reason with multiplicity. Intellect is outside time, reason time-bound.-- The Praised and the Virgin (2014), By Rusmir MahmutćehajićThis is a fascinating philosophical perspective! It seems to suggest that intellect - that is, the ability to grasp and work with abstract concepts - is more universal and timeless, while reason - the ability to apply logic and analyze specific situations - is more particular and rooted in time. It's almost like intellect is a unifying force, bringing together disparate ideas and experiences, while reason is a differentiating force, breaking things down into smaller, more distinct categories. This is a really intriguing distinction to make.If we imagine a space in which all possible minds can be represented, we must imagine all human minds as constituting a small and fairly tight cluster within that space.
