<I guess we could talk about “intelligence” till the cows come home. But I don’t know what you truly mean by it.> Agreed... as we stated before, one would have to define it. What I DO know is that the simplest of life forms, including EVERY cell in your body is "more intelligent" by ANY definition than any program created or non-living entity. There is NO non-living entity that appears remotely as "intelligent" as a single cell, by ANY definition. JMO DAK

"Intelligence is not an exclusive monopoly of genius; it is an attribute of all men, and the differences are only a matter of degree. If conditions of existence are destructive to genius, they are destructive to every man, each in proportion to his intelligence. If genius is penalized, so is the faculty of intelligence in every other man. There is only this difference: the average man does not possess the genius’s power of self-confident resistance, and will break much faster; he will give up his mind, in hopeless bewilderment, under the first touch of pressure." “Requiem for Man,” Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, 306 AR
