> There's absolutely nothing mysterious about human intelligence unless you refuse to give it a clear definition This begs the question[0] by assuming that it can be given a clear, measurable definition. A large part of the mystery of consciousness and intelligence is that it's hard to define, measure, or explain; the most characteristic aspects (i.e. those relating to a subjective experience) are, in principle, impossible to measure or verify[1]. To say that it's not mysterious once you give it a clear, measurable definition is basically saying "it's not mysterious once you remove all aspects that make it mysterious."
