How ought we define intelligence? Is it the capacity to find complex solutions? Is it measured in the amount of truth one knows? If we go for the former definition, intelligence becomes detached from reality. If we go for the later, it becomes as plastic as a truth table. However, we know that as a minimum intelligence must be anchored in reality to be useful.

We may ask ourselves when is a man intelligent? And who can answer this question? His peers? His superiors? What if he has none? What if his peers are just as intelligent but in disjoint domains?
