According to my mathematical formalization of the intelligence concept, intelligence is defined independently of any specific goal, so that when an organism intelligently seeks self-desctruction or other self-defeating goals, it is still being intelligent relative to those goals. However, it may have less TOTAL intelligence over time than a comparable system with intelligence relative to self-perpetuating or self-actualizing goals, because it will survive less long ;p
