Name an intelligent person who's not educated. Just literally one. Education is the only thing an 'intelligent' person has. They recall what they know. Their education. I'm not talking about university, I'm talking about knowledge. I don't care about formal education. One's education is just their accumulated knowledge. Manifesting accumulated knowledge is intelligence. The only thing I can imagine is 'intelligence' is capacity for pattern matching.
A baby learning to cry for food has accumulated knowledge. A feral child surviving in the woods has accumulated knowledge. These are 'intelligent' beings no matter their environment. They're smart as hell and can pattern match to live. There is no such thing as 'intelligence' because all living animals exhibit it. Life itself is intelligence, sure. I'll admit that. "Actual intelligence" is just being a DNA based organism apparently. Sure. I agree.
