That solves it then, lol. Entertaining talk about the more imperialistic aspects of life and intelligence, but certainly not the answer to how to build intelligence, the "magic" methinks lies in the heuristics that allow you to maximize options quickly and socially (I doubt Einstein could deflect asteroids while stranded on a desert island). Also, I remain sceptical that this or any other metric captures the physicality of intelligence, I am particularly concerned by the extreme physicality of, let's say, the body, which is ready to go this way or that with temperature, pressure, food etc long before Bruce Willis takes a one way ticket to space. My working definition (of the non-physicality perhaps) of intelligence is something along the lines of : an agent's attempt to find out the "truth of other agents", to share their subjectivity and point of view, whether external or internal. This allows, among other things, to collaborate and blow up asteroids. In such engineering projects however, just as in society in general, one has to make sacrifices and give up many degrees of freedom in order to reap the ultimate reward. A bit like winning at chess or go - therefore, I declare the equation limited in utility and value.
