When you say that you don't like any existing definitions of intelligence, what do you mean by "intelligence"?
I took it to mean that intelligence is not a well-defined term. This is fairly clear and usually established early on in most psychology/sociology classes. Some even go so far as to define intelligence to be "that which intelligence tests measure."
And I think everyone agrees there are different kinds of intelligence. One person can cook anything with almost no effort. Another can solve math problems with almost no thought. Everything that humans have done, some animal species has also done. Yes, it's usually on a smaller scale. But I suspect that MickMcA is arguing that it's a continuum rather than a black/white issue.

Yes I did misunderstand what you were intending
> The idea that humans are in some sense outside or privileged within the set of creatures.>
I agree that this is a narcisistic 2x4 to the face of our species evolution ever since Ur, but we ARE top of the food chain- that's got to be worth something.
>Of course we each have a self. On the other hand, what we mean by self is not obvious.
To wit:
"The part of me that says 'I am' is not the most essential part of me that 'Is'."- Jean Paul Sarte, refuting the cogito
>...or they turn out, stripped naked, to be pimply solipsism with a bit of narcissistic mascara>
Sure- but in defining intelligence (or anything really) we have to be intelligent enough to understand it and all we have for referance material is our own perceptions. Thats the crux: we are always biased by our own priori definitions. All our definitions of intelligence will always carry the parenthetical "-or so one branch of hominids believes"
>intelligence is a strategy for survival... intelligence... blows up planets. >
-just not the ones where the 'intelligent' reside, as that just wouldnt be smart now would it

Explain that to viruses and worms. It the lion thinks he's at the top of the food chain, the vultures are amused. The food chain doesn't have a top.
Here in Colorado, people say "Why should we share OUR water with the other states?" I suggested so someone that if the Pacific Coast states or Pacific provinces come up with technology that strips the humidity from the clouds forming over the Pacific, they may say the same thing.

ok, off the current subject. I have been locked in the attic for the last few years. How do you know if your bot is good enough to enter a contest?
Well, the only way to really know is by signing up and seeing if your bot goes down in flames. But you can probably go through the transcripts and get a good idea of how good it is.
Also, the next Chatterbox Challenge is likely 11 months away and I don't see much else out there in the way of bot contests, so you have plenty of time to improve your bot if you're not sure how well it'll work out.

The CBC sounds more along the lines of something I would enter my bots in. When is it? I know there was one in 2005. I was just to busy with school, I'm taking a break this summer.
oups, I was thinking you were talking about the forge bot contest. my mistake. The chatterboxchallenge is probly to much for my bots.
