Watch human behavior long enough and you'll also realize that encoding of social behaviors in our society does a lot of heavy lifting for our brains so we don't have to think.

Also, for bonus points define intelligence in a manner that describes simple systems with rudimentary intelligence up to complex systems with higher levels of intelligence than a human. Can you do it, because as of so far no one else has.



Do you have any links to philosophical attempts at this definition? It feels like it would be a ripe field.


There is quite a bit of different information, but when any groups cross reference each others work on differences you end up with lines like this

"There is no agreed-upon definition of the concept of intelligence neither in psychology nor in philosophy. Experts’ definitions differ widely."

Intelligence itself seems to be a bunch of different behaviors and abilities that when combined have emergent behaviors that are difficult to predict and reduce to simple systems.
