Can we formulate a non-anthropomorphic definition of intelligence?

Sure... information processing in bits/second is directly proportional
to human intelligence.



Computation speed is not exactly a definition of intelligence. No
computers have ever won the Nobel prize.

I din't say mental speed is a "definition" of intelligence. I said
"mental speed is PROPORTIONAL to intelligence"... meaning it is an
INDICATOR of intelligence.

IOW - you didn't answer the question, but used it as an opportunity to
regurgitate your crap!



In fact the official (legal and scientific) definition of intelligence
is your score on an IQ test. If for instance your score is less
than 70 in most states you would be legally classified as
mentally retarded.

Or if their name is George Hammond!
