There's a kind of intelligence that never gets measured because it lives entirely in the body. The person who can feel the weather changing in their knees, read a dog's mood from across the street, and know a room is wrong before anyone speaks. - Silicon Canals

Briefly

"Interoception refers to the sense by which we perceive internal bodily signals, everything from heartbeat and breath rate to gut feelings, temperature shifts, and muscular tension."

"The person who walks into a meeting and can feel something is off before a single agenda item has been raised is reading data streams the rest of us have been trained to ignore."

"Recent work has reframed interoception as something closer to a sixth sense, one that varies dramatically in sensitivity among individuals."

"Gardner's model frames body intelligence as a talent category, but the body should be seen as a sensory processing system that conducts intelligence."
