Intelligence--the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. That's how Google claims to define it, although frustratingly, it doesn't list its source.

Intelligence--the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. That's how Google claims to define it, although frustratingly, it doesn't list its source. That seems like a reasonable definition. As a result, I think it's reasonable to say intelligence in humans is a lot more varied than intelligence in cockroaches. There are some humans who will never be as productive as the least productive cockroach. On the other hand, there are some humans who will create things more profound than the most productive cockroach. I assume I know what makes a cockroach productive...obviously I don't, but it's seems reasonable to me to assume that cockroaches haven't had their version of cockroach-on-the-moon moment. The day they do, we may be in trouble!
