Intellect

Intellect is a complex thing built from consciousnesses. Intellect is an abstract concept that was given a name. I see it as a way to define speed. We can say that a small stone does not move; its speed is zero. If the stone rolls, then it already has speed. I believe intellect can in some way be compared to the speed of moving from one place to another. If a stone gets from one place to another in a million years, we say the stone has no intellect. If a plant goes the same way in one hundred years, we also say the plant has no intellect. But if a living being goes this way in a year or a day, then we say there is intellect. If a ray of light goes the same way in a part of a second, then we also say there is no intellect.

Intellect is the speed of movement within certain limits that a person can grasp, or can accept.

Today's growth of neural networks, or so-called artificial intelligence, helps us understand that intellect, aliveness, and consciousness are all different things. There can be only intellectual things, such as a neural network or artificial intelligence, but with very little consciousness and life. There can be a plant that has life, but little intellect and consciousness. If you believe in spirits, they can be seen as a form of consciousness with little intellect and life.
