intelligence is a hard thing to define, i know plenty of really smart people that i just could not refer to as intelligent simply because the get caught up in the drama. The play the games and let it effect them on deep levels. I have a hard time saying the ability to avoid this is a telltale mark of intelligence, but i have a harder time saying people who can not avaoid it are intelligent.I can never call someone who lets the fact their roomate drank the last pepsi truley ruin their day intelligent, no matter how smart they are book wise, street wise, iq wise, or however you want to measure it. So i guess thats not really a definition, but thats my short easy response.

intelligense is knowing that "you" are YOUR own worst enemy.. knowing that your (or everyones) view of the world is just one of many interpretations of sensory data. perhaps intelligense is breaking free of the norms or constraints that the past and the "world" places on you. maybe its seeking the hidden part of yourself that is directly connected to the "cosmos". (infinity) killing "yourSELF".. knowing that "you" arent to be trusted to interpret the sensory data and attempting to weld yourself to the YOU that can. drugs (awareness enhancers) can aid that "return" but they produce a shift that cannot be replicated at WILL. (or usually) so it could be that intelligense is knowing that any "awareness enhancer" should only be taken in order to cultivate a feeling/knowledge of the possibility of individual and "human" awareness. once that footing which we all have is brought to the surface then its clarly time to listen (literally) and "get to know" oneself. "meditation" is good for that. i prefer to get comfortable and close my eyes and basically relax or silence my alien until dreaming is reached in a "lucid" state but tv works too for a superficial altered state.. my problem with it is that it still resides in a "human" arena. oops.. i think i might have rambled.. "what is intelligense"? recognizing your shadow, and seeing it as the miraculous thing it is.. knowing that we may be seemingly stuck "here", and yet being cognizant of, or able to notice the numerous omens there are all the time which usually go unnoticed that renew us with the Great Inkling of something more to EVERYTHING, ie Ourselves.. the unknown in short.

intelligence is subject to interpatation, but I'll give it a stab.

There is no such thing stupid!!!


--------------------
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know,
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection,
Is it all you want it to be?

intelligence is an illusion, mere entertainment, its built into our minds so that we dont get bored and kill ourselves. it compels us to babble on and on and on about meaningless gribble-gabble, the words we communicate have no substance.

our genetics control our lives, other than reproduction, everything we do is completely incedental. but its fun, it fun to exercize our "intellect".....and one day we will be able to recreate our minds and put them into machines. but these machines will never work properly, because all they will be able to do with their artificial intelligence is walk in endless circles.

no........but then why would the universe be such a beautiful place?

or maybe its actually ugly and horrifying and we just interpret it as beautiful so that we keep reproducing.

no, thats really stupid.
