Hi Evgenii Rudnyi 

Unless it is drunk, life must have governance, which means it needs
intelligence as a governor.

However, without such a measure, a statement that life is mostly 
unintelligent is ill-defined.

In general, if we assume inexorable physicals laws, for example the 
M-theory from Grad Design, then it is unclear to me what the meaning of 
the next statement could be:

"The behavior of this conglomerate of particles and fields is more 
intelligent than of that conglomerate of particle and fields."
