Have you ever read any of his essays? I just nicked some interesting looking ones that were hard to find by screenshotting pages from a collection released in the 60s that’s expensive now and you can only borrow it for an hour on archive dot org. Considering transcribing the texts and posting the pdfs somewhere, or even recording the audio of myself reading them aloud and posting them to youtube (not on my main channel of course), just to up the accessibility

No, I came across that line in Paul Virilio's book, Open Sky.

Disarming Intelligence: Proust, Valéry, and Modern French Criticism
Zakir Paul
This title will be released on August 13, 2024
A critical account of the idea of intelligence in modern French literature and thought
In the late nineteenth century, psychologists and philosophers became intensely interested in the possibility of quantifying, measuring, and evaluating “intelligence,” and using it to separate and compare individuals. Disarming Intelligence analyzes how this polyvalent term was consolidated and contested in competing discourses, from fin de siècle psychology and philosophy to literature, criticism, and cultural polemics around the First World War.
Zakir Paul examines how Marcel Proust, Henri Bergson, Paul Valéry, and the critics of the influential Nouvelle revue française registered, negotiated, and subtly countered the ways intelligence was invoked across the political and aesthetic spectrum. For these writers, intelligence fluctuates between an individual, sovereign faculty for analyzing the world and something collective, accidental, and contingent. Disarming Intelligence shows how literary and critical styles questioned, suspended, and reimagined what intelligence could be by bringing elements of uncertainty and potentiality into its horizon. The book also explores interwar political tensions—from the extreme right to Walter Benjamin’s engaged essays on contemporary French writers. Finally, a brief coda recasts current debates about artificial intelligence by comparing them to these earlier crises of intelligence.

That's the point. It's self-deprecating humour.
