At its core, intelligence can be viewed as a process that converts unstructured information into useful and actionable knowledge.

Rethinking what intelligence might be also allows us to rethink the modes and mechanisms which might produce it, and thus to come up with new ways of being intelligent.

intelligence is relational: it matters how and where you do it, what form your body gives it, and with whom it connects.
