How can intelligence have any survival value if it can not sense and
interpret it's environment? A super intelligent entity that can't tell its'
been eaten by a mouse is not much good..
Sentience and intelligence must work together. All animals are sentient, but
there are great differences in intellighence.
I have a cat sleeping on my monitor as I type. She is definitely sentient,
and intelligent, but I can easily outsmart her in many ways. She exhibits
conciousness of herself and other beings. Abstract thought, though - now
there's a thorny thing to define and test for..
We need better definitions here..
