Re: Intelligence Is as Intelligence Does
For what it is worth, I see life itself as being a form of natural intelligence - in that life, through evolution, learns solutions on how to be and how to persist (solutions that our industries often attempt to copy and imitate - see Benyus viddies on Youtube). Species can be thought of as 'hypotheses', written in specific stretches of DNA, and constantly being tested against the context in which they are embedded. It seems though that terms like 'intelligence' and 'technology' are reserved almost exclusively to the human race.
