Yes, human intellect divides into the Utilitarian Intellect and Moral Intellect, each with a distinct mission of its own. The Utilitarian Intellect consists of reasoning, imagination, thinking, creativity, science, technology, inventions, discovery and so on. These are mental tools at human disposal that they apply to solve problems and achieve objectives. Human objectives are neither exclusively good, nor evil, but they are a combination of both. This portion of human intellect avails itself to achieve both good and evil objective unconditionally and indiscriminately and thus it totally lacks personality and character. However, the Moral Intellect exclusively stands for all the angelic human attributes and manufactures a strong sense of ethics, morality, justice, fairness, kindness, compassion and human decency at large, all of which pertains to human behavior. This being totally the opposite of blindly selfish instincts frequently fall into conflicts with them

All instincts are unchanging, unchangeable, stagnant and primitive. Each instinct strives for a particular brand of pleasure and satisfaction that renders all of them selfish by nature. Humans’ strongest instincts induce their most intense pleasures. Yet instincts emerge and function in the vacuum of intellect and reasoning and are totally alien to reasoning. Being devoid of logic coupled with utter selfishness, render them blind and blinding. This mix impairs humans’ reasoning faculty and people make many large and small mistakes that hugely hinder their success. Thus, the stagnant instincts become a drag on the progressing intellect. Consciously freeing human intellect from the tight grip of the blinding instincts boosts the intelligence all people already have at their disposal.

Instinctive pursuits being selfish often are illegitimate, illegal, immoral and even unwise. The moral intellect, however, stands not for pleasure, but for what is just, fair, ethical and decent and by default falls into conflict with blindly selfish instincts. The Utilitarian Intellect stands ready to serve the victor in all such conflicts. So long as the conflict persists no action takes place, but as soon as the instinct wins the battle, a swift mental transformation occurs. In that, the utilitarian intellect unconditionally and indiscriminately supports the cause of the instinct at work and acts as if this conflict never existed. However, if moral intellect silences the instinct, inaction results. Thus, the nature of this association fluctuates. If instincts win more frequently in such conflicts than intellect, the chances are that the person is more instinctive than he or she is less moral, and vice a versa and determines the character of the person

Depending on how involved you want to get with this study, it provides multiple benefits. To start with, your strongest instincts produce your most intense pleasures, but they are also often the cause of your most significant problems. This study enables people to maximize their joy and minimize their potential harm. Also, through learning about the mechanism of the mind, so to speak, one gets an accurate inventory of the mental components and learns what in the mind longs for what, and why people do what they do. This is how you learn to manage these mental forces to boost your intelligence and enhance your happiness. Understanding this also reveals how the mind molds all the major human affairs into shape. Thus, you more accurately understand the psychology of religion, the reason for humans’ love of arts, sports, what renders humans inescapably political and why of all beings, humans alone, are simultaneously polygamous and monogamous that in our species alone causes sexual confusion and much more. You also learn how to manage your mind instead of being managed by it and transform your life.

Humans have relished arts for over 30,000 years without being able to know what in art so pleases them. The world of philosophy admits that we still lack a definition for art that would be acceptable to all. So, we have been enjoying that, which we never understood. Here are the causes of this persisting confusion: First, when we realize that the mind consists of instincts and intellect, we see that two different instincts long for two different categories of art, and a certain attribute of intellect strives for another category of art. Thus, art divides into three distinct categories of Rhythmic Arts, Imitative Arts and Abstract Arts. Rhythmic art consists of vocal and nonvocal music, dancing, poetry, certain architecture and Persian rugs. The attractive part of these arts is in the rhythm they contain that satisfies the instinct of rhythm and that pleases us. Imitative arts consist of painting, sculpture, writing, acting and films. Here, artists use their skills and talent to imitate that, which already exists. This pleases a certain attribute of human intellect that strives for excellence in imitation. Abstract Arts appeals to the instinct through which human relish color. Thus the structure of the arts within each category and the mental faculty each category of arts relates to become the common denominator for each group of arts. Only then, do people understand why they cherish art. However, because due to improperly understanding art we have been mixing all arts together that have nothing in common such as architecture and novel, poetry and acting, singing and painting and so on that can never be defined by a single definition.
Instincts are more readily excitable than intellect. Thus, concerts performed by average artists evoke such emotions in people that they scream, cry and some even faint that the works of true masters of art such as Michelangelo, De Vince and Monet in museums do not, because these are imitative arts and relate to human intellect that is less excitable. Knowing why we enjoy different brands of art will enable artists to refine their creations and art lovers to deepen their appreciation of art. Most importantly, this will save huge sums of money in the film industry. In that, a portion of this theory not presented here, has been tested on Shakespeare’s stories for validation. Either consciously or subconsciously he has brilliantly applied this in all of his stories to captivate people the world over that can readily be applied by all writers. To be sure, this will not make another Shakespeare, but will make their works much more appealing. Using this theory the writers will know how to provoke different instincts in their audiences to capture them and film producers will be equipped to formulas for the first time to weed out bad stories and to avoid failure.

There have never been any written rules to be observed in designing sports. As we know humans have been involved with sports for millennia and each of the sports have been invented in the course of this long history in different times by different people and cultures. Yet three rules are at the core of all sports, aiming, speed, power and, or endurance. The mystery of how this has happened cannot be solved unless if we observe it through the function of instincts. In that, these three skills are required for hunting. From the start, driven by this hunting and warring instinct, the major function of male humans have been hunting and fighting wars. Because instincts do not change or vanish through time, they have survived the test of time and the hunting instinct finds reflection in all sports and brings its required skills into all of them and endows them their common denominator of aiming, speed and power. Thus, these instinctive drives are at the root of all sports and become their common denominator. The existence of this instinct in males that rendered them hunters and warriors make them prone to become sport fanatics at the dismay of the females in their lives. Understanding this will help the sports industry to train athletes better in all brands of sports.
