The question of intelligence is one of integrity. The body must function with the environment. Emotions must produce di sire to coordinate function for survival. Intellect must discern options objectively that the better option is available.
Intuition allows automatic decisions so that mental energy can focus on creativity.
Thus, when integrated, this system functions easily, for survival first, and for creativity second, a beautifully higher brain trait of humanity. Focus of thought to intellect is certainly a control measure. As an intellectual society, nature disintegrates. Natural intelligence is lost. Alas, intellect thought has not changed the nature of the universe.
