i think all it takes is some nerves or electromagnetic impulses, and not necessarily a fully developed brain.

Many people always try to describe what inteligence is.

If you think about describing what intelligence is in a very basic way,:

Intelligence is the cerebral capacity.

If you try to be mmore precise from that, you will always fail:
for ex.(some)

Intelligence is the capacity to communicate

Intelligence is the capacity to learn

Intelligence is the capacity to create

Intelligence is the capacity to memorize

Intelligence is the capacity to deduce

All of this can look like if they were correct when looked alone, and in fact, they are. But when you put them together, you realise that allt ogether they make intelligence, not separated.

another loose definition is that intelligence is the ability to learn from a mistake.

That is also a common one.

Maybe we can't describe intelligence because we have inteligence and we have always had it. Maybe something that doesn't have inteligence is the only thing that can deescribe inteligence correctly.........

That is admitting of course, that something without intelligence can describe....

Does your universe have feeling and emotion? for example, Anger? Happiness? Sorrow?

i think the answer is clear.....................NO.

But a my universe doesn't have a creator or a superinteligence.

I will cary on tomorrow, it's 12:50 in the night for me...

I have question bout communication....


Is the communication that animals have (for example, whales) as intelligent communication?

Is it generally accepted that animals have intelligent?

(I knowmany people that say that intelligence is a property unique for humans, but that doesn't seem a very argumented opinion......)

how does a tuna fish knows that it is a tuna and not a shark? it can't look in the mirror and it must learn to run away whenever it sees a shark approaching before it's too late. Yet tunas are not smart enough to avoid the net of fishermen, which even dolphins can be succumbed.
