If an animal does something, we call it instinct; if we do the same thing for the same reason, we call it intelligence.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If a cat does something, we call it instinct; if we do the same thing, for the same reason, we call it intelligence.
I think intelligence basically can be in a way defined by the possibility of having two opposite ideas living together and at the same time functioning. That's why I think a smart script has two things living in the same place, and they're absolutely contradictory.
Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence.
The very essence of instinct is that it's followed independently of reason.
Intelligence is what you use when you don't know what to do: when neither innateness nor learning has prepared you for the particular situation.
I think that intelligence is such a narrow branch of the tree of life - this branch of primates we call humans. No other animal, by our definition, can be considered intelligent. So intelligence can't be all that important for survival, because there are so many animals that don't have what we call intelligence, and they're surviving just fine.
Intelligence is really a kind of taste: taste in ideas.
Action is the real measure of intelligence.
Instinct is the nose of the mind.
Instinct is intelligence incapable of self-consciousness.
