The word intelligence derives from the Latin intelegere; to choose between. In situations of choice if the decision made after assessment is beneficial, it is considered to be an intelligent decision. Legg and Hutter (2007) collected some 70 different definitions of intelligence and summarized them as follows. Intelligence: (i) Is a property that an individual has as it interacts with its environment or environments. (ii) Is related to the agents ability to succeed or profit with respect to some goal or objective. (iii) Depends on how able the agent is to adapt to different objectives or environments.
In the same numerical order. (i) Wild plants interact with and respond to their environment via competitive and other biotic and abiotic signals. (ii) The goal or objective is fitness with seed number as a fitness proxy. Those most successful, and thus most fit, provide more offspring. (iii) Fitness depends on the skill with which individuals best adapt to their environment throughout their life cycle (McNamara and Houston, 1996). Those individual plants that can master and adapt to the problems of competition, master other biotic and abiotic stresses with greater plasticity, lower cost, higher probability, or more rapidly, are fitter and on this basis are more intelligent. Finally intelligence is a capacity for problem solving, (the psychologists choice) and profiting from experience another (Jennings, 1923; Gardner, 1983; Sternberg and Detterman, 1986; Sternberg, 1986). All effectively say the same thing.

Do it and describe the experience immediately after for the forum. -

2018-03-12 at 9:13 PM UTC in Treating my sister like the animal she isI can't give you any real advice. I think you know in your heart how to handle the situation. Be true to yourself and don't let her walk over you. Stand up for yourself. Don't play games just be real. Remember that you're there for your mom first.

Originally posted by Jeremus Mushrooms are more closely related to humans than to plants. I have a great respect for fungi kingdom, they are basically a superintelligent, low key project that is silently taking over the world as we speak (they basically have world domination and we don't even think about it, it's just that their ends don't conflict with ours very often). They also seem to have some kind of rough superconsciousness, but that's just the impression I get from their communication systems etc.
This sounds pretty interesting. Can you go into this with more depth? I want to know more about their superconsciousness, superintelligence and communication systems. Also have you heard that some spores can survive space and entering the atmosphere? It would be amazing if they are an alien species who fell to earth and have been "moulding" it to their desire.
