It would help if human experts agreed on the meaning of such basic terms as intelligence, consciousness, or awareness. They don't. It's hard to build something that's incompletely defined.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We define ourselves as intelligent. That's odd, because we're doing the definition - We're creating our own definition and saying, 'We are intelligent!'
Without consciousness and intelligence, the universe would lack meaning.
Consciousness, for me, is a manifestation of complexity in biology. It's an emergent property.
Hence it happens that one takes words for concepts, and concepts for the things themselves.
Whole areas of knowledge and information have been defined into nonexistence because the system cannot know, understand, control, or measure them.
Awareness of universals is called conceiving, and a universal of which we are aware is called a concept.
We tend to see individual differences instead of human universals. Thus, when someone says the word 'intelligence,' we think of Einstein instead of humans.
Once we have learned to read, meaning of words can somehow register without consciousness.
The true knowledge or science which exists nowhere but in the mind itself, has no other entity at all besides intelligibility; and therefore whatsoever is clearly intelligible, is absolutely true.
The main functions of intelligence, that of inventing solutions and that of verifying them, do not necessarily involve one another. The first partakes of imagination; the second alone is properly logical.
