The Difference Between Life, Intelligence and Consciousness
Life, intelligence, and consciousness are intricately connected yet distinct concepts. Life is the fundamental principle that all living things possess, driven by complex biochemical and nonlinear thermodynamics processes. Intelligence involves the ability to perceive, learn, and problem-solve, predominantly found in animals and humans with drives and basic instincts. Consciousness, on the other hand, is the subjective experience of physics from the inside, particularly the brain's cortex. While life can be understood through biochemistry and thermodynamics, defining death has become complex in the modern context due to advancements in medical technology. Therefore, the delineation between life, intelligence, and consciousness remains a profound mystery, with no definitive answers in sight.
