Intelligence

Intelligence is such a random term most humans think they are intelligent. We may be smart but we are not intelligent. I came to this conclusion while listing to the radio, in my car which i drive. I was listing to NPR (one of the only two stations i listen to) They had a segment on something called post human (One word?), or a human who doesn’t cause as much bad things to happen to themselves or the environment, Basically Star Treks humans are the closest examples of post humans i can think of but they are not post humans yet, But i digress. Anyway after the segment ended i came up with my Idea of intelligence it has to do with this. An intelligent being is a being that always makes the right choice.

Interesting point of view. It all comes down to how you define intelligence. I would go with the definition of smart. Someone who always does right sounds nice but will never happen. Now you can always attempt to do the right, and always aim to do it, and always have the intent to do right. But inevitably the choices we make won't always be right. And they never will always be right.
