Thus Sarah Palin could be more intelligent than Albert Einstein, and so in Bruno Marchal's continuing reformulation of the English language "intelligence" joins "God" and "Christianity" and "Atheism" as words that no longer have any meaning.

I'm trying to decode that statement but I'm having difficulty. My first thought is Peano Axioms but that doesn't seem right.

It means Peano Arithmetic, a quite standard acronym in logic and theoretical computer science.

Peano axioms + Peano rules of inference. Or if you prefer, a machine which is a theorem prover of Peano.

This confirms you have not read the second part of sane04, which is the PhD thesis in computer science.

Nor that you have any idea of Solovay theorem which axiomatize the self-referential discourse of PA, ZF, etc.


Power Amplifier? Public Address?  Prince Albert?  Pennsylvania?

No we don't agree because you just said "We can't detect intelligence in a human", and I can't detect any intelligence in that statement.

Exercise: reread my posts and compare the definitions I have suggested for intelligence and the one I gave of competence.

You persist in playing with words, and ignoring the work done.
