Then you have changed the point you are making. Intelligence does require communication. You admit that yourself now.

- robotkilla 11y ago>Intelligence does require communication The claim he made is that people think intelligence requires linguistics - he then goes on to say that aliens may be communicating in some different way that doesn't require linguistics. At any rate, a number of the arguments made in this thread are absolutely absurd. Of course intelligence doesn't require linguistics - linguistics is merely one of the markers of intelligence. And of course creatures can communicate without language - it happens in nature every day.
- cscurmudgeon 11y agoLinguistics is about communication. Language is not spoken language. That is the common definition. The absurd comments in this thread are those which confuse communication and linguistics to that involving just sounds.
