2022/1/4 What may be a useful definition of intelligence for philosophical argument: capable of acting freely and understanding the implications of those actions. I came to this consideration while musing about fungi and ants after reading about them in a book. They do not, by modern conceptualization, have these qualities. Modern conceptualization is just that though, the actual reality is a mystery. You may feel differently, along with the person in the book. You could also define your terms to suit yourself in your own reckoning. Your understanding of the world around you would have to be accurate only if you needed to understand the implications of your actions. Even then, only accurate in practical terms.
