Ted.com is one of the greatest sources of "new intelligence". You can watch talks about every aspect of life from the smartest people in their perspective fields. I think TED talks should be shown in schools. I know most talks would be over the heads of the majority of american kids, but it would be worth it for the few that will be inspired.
