Intelligence could be different from our understanding and projection of it. I can see the highly structured and mutually influenced movement of galaxies, star systems etc as a type of intelligence. The processes in stars. Are they completely random? The time we’ve spent observing the Sun is insurmountable short in Star time. The ecosystems on Earth with their never stopping intertwined flow of signals and influences. Wheat, corn and soy using humans to take over vast territories. Languages and thought patterns and their disease-like activity often infecting and wiping out huge ecosystems (“let’s kill all the bison!”) and large parts of their host population (genocides, world wars, racism). I am not religious and am certain that the theory of evolution is sound. There’s no bearded guy in the sky tweaking our genome and berrying dinosaurs to test our faith. When I look at the self organizing nature of phenomena, my pattern recognizing brain sees patterns and I can’t but think that the regular definition of intelligence might be too small and might benefit by being scaled up. How is our intelligence different from the ability of species’ genomes to adapt to environments over long periods of time?
