Hi,
I was sick (stomach flu) this weekend and missed Monday at work.

Any way,
my two bits on intelligence.

Intelligence is an evolved trait that is pro-survival.  In fact neural
systems
are around for the smae reason.  There are three levels that neural
systems are and advantage.
1.) Nueral control of the biological system.
2.) Immediate reactions to the environment.
3.) Reactions to the predicted future state of the environment.

The reason humans are so intelligent is that they can use that
intelligence to predict the future state of the world around them
and act now accordingly.  Other humas are part of that
environment.

Any way,
On my web page is a paper I publieshed on the theory.
