Is the bear stupid because it can't do math? Also "getting what you want" and "achieving goals" are basically the same answer

There are many kinds of intelligence, but the most important one, in my opinion, is being able to predict the consequences of one's actions accurately.

@Soli it requires you to have accurate mental models / assumptions / "truths" - truth serves life so something is true if it helps you better predict the consequences of your actions
