     " ....  I'm not at all sure that people's working definition

     or survival.  "

I'm not sure that people's working definition of intelligence has
anything at all to do with ANYTHING AT ALL.  The quoted statement
implies that peoples' working definition of intelligence is  different
-  it  is  subjective  to each individual.  I would like to claim
that each individual's working definition of intelligence is sub-
ject to change also.


What we are working with here is conceptual.. not a tangible  ob-
ject  which we can spot at an instance.  If the object is concep-
tual, and therefore subjective, then it seems that  we  can  (and
probably  will)  change it's definition as our collective experi-
ences teach us differently.
