@Brent. You don't know the definition of "object". Let me tell you the definition: "Object" is any experience that a subject has. Other synonymouses: qualia, forms, etc. As such an experience cannot be intelligent. An experience is simply something that an intelligent consciousness has. The experience of you hurting your leg cannot be intelligent, is a nonsense. An experience is an experience. It has nothing to do with intelligence. The consciousness that has that experience can be said to be intelligent.
