Does that mean this excludes concepts not deemed advanced?
In other words, intelligence is only found when the concepts being understood is considered advanced. To whom does this consideration go to? And is there a limit or a bare minimum to the number of 'advanced concepts' that need to be understood to be considered "intelligent?"
What would be the criteria for grasping a concept? How would you even gauge the comprehension of any concept by any individual? With mere words?
I would say you can't set universal criteria as not everyone would understand them. For example, a monkey would never be able to appreciate or understand literature, though obviously it understands what matters to its life. This is a bit far fetched as an example, but I think it depicts how it goes.
Let's stick to the subject. "Intelligence" is purely a human concept, so let's leave non-humans out of this, yeah? What monkeys understand about human concepts have nothing to do with "intelligence" being definable. "Literature" is only possible to be appreciated by humans because it is a human convention.
Does that make sense to you? Do you understand what bacteria are saying to each other or thinking?
In any case, that doesn't explicitly define what "intelligence" is, if it's even anything at all.
