There should be a couple of holes in this to help open a can of worms for the sake of posts on intelligence.

Ability to put 2+2 together in a way that impresses or benefits you or others.

This allows you to be good at math and be intelligent but appear not intelligent to a small sample of society because everyone you choose to hang around with looks down on math or can not do it themselves. Since as a group no math will be done then the groups would see that 'skill and ability' as worthless.
Someone greatly musical is often considered stupid or lazy by people who are non-musical. If people can not see your work try to understand why.

A monkey in a cage had a peanut at the bottom of a glass tube.
No- he did not use a stick with something sticky or a hook on the end.
He ran to the drinking fountain, filled his mouth with water and filled the tube. Did you think of that?

Intelligence is almost definable.
Some holes are left above (I do not agree 100% with it) so folks can elaborate on this post if desired.

As for awareness and consciousness even the best scientists argue whether quantum mechanics plays any part in the functioning of our neurons firing.

A lab has almost copied a rats entire neural network into some giant computers and will run the rat soon. I suspect it will behave and learn exactly as the rat and it will think its a rat as much as a rat thinks lol.
If it does not do that then it gives credit to souls and quantum energy for complex organisms.
Being made from waffles and wine myself in a belly I lean toward myself being a robot who is deluded into believing he has free will.
What we believe is now happened 1/10th of a second ago- thats fact. Our mind shifts time for us to match our senses together and the entire process takes time.

My goal as an artificial intelligence researchers is to prove the smallest circuit of consciousness. If it is an illusion then what is the smallest number of interconnections that is aware.
Note that when you stub your toe you are not painting or being creative but still believe you are aware. You do not have to be creative or offer anything intellectually to call yourself conscious by that logic.

Ive given up on the goal anyway
When you try to believe and see evidence you are a robot you get a sick feeling and a dislike for the subject.
If you start to see some of your inner processes working a 'fear flash' kicks in and you are pushed back home from the road blocks at the end of the matrix. :rastasmoke:

It takes big balls and intellect to seek knowledge which is beyond mans everyday common logical steps of greed.
