Yes, good book, where does such intelligence take that man?

Truth is an analogy that arises out of Quality.  I don't think the term
judge is appropriate.

[Mark]
Sure.  My point is that intelligence is not so easily defined, and problem
solving may be one aspect.  I do not regard the IQ test as having high
value.

No hard definitions, just hard trends, which are analogies.  Intelligence
can be seen as an arising of Quality.  Or to use the vernacular of the
forum, intelligence is left in the wake of Quality.  Look up the dynamic and
static analogies of Quality.  Think in terms of holism.
