@hypolite Heck, I'm not taking this seriously; just entertained by the circularity. Are we intelligent? We think so. Is the system that produced us somehow or other intelligent? We think not --so we're intelligent beings produced by billions of years of unintelligent processes. But what does that imply about our intelligence? Though put that way, eh, no reason that intelligence can't emerge from primordial muck. But does leave me meditating: what IS intelligence?
