What is intelligence?

Intelligence is not memory recall - answering quiz questions or reciting
dates and facts is not intelligence - this is memory recall.
Intelligence is not being able to do maths or physics or these kind of
things - a machine can do this and this is not intelligence.
Intelligence is not creativity - as in art or music.

So what is intelligence?

Intelligence is a spark that sets a species above animals and other inferior
creatures.
With intelligence you know how to behave. You know right from wrong. You
have judgement. You live in peace. You have the correct values and
principles. You know and recognize the Truth. You think and you think
positively and correctly.

So as you can see - humans do not have intelligence.
They do not have this spark that sets them above animals and creatures.

This intelligence does exist. Very much so.
And it these peoples who have this spark that are "above" or "better" than
humans. Humans are viewed as inferior animal species as they do not have
this intelligence.

Intelligence is the capacity of an organism to solve novel problems (as
opposed to applying instinctive or learned solutions to familiar problems).

Fair enough! But does she like you? Or are you sufficiently inhuman
to engender her affection? :-)
