“We define ourselves in terms of self-interest, but we also interact, communicate, and view each other from a self-interest framework so complete that we define intelligence itself in terms of successful self-interest. In a significant way, even our religions are all based on the promise of reward or punishment. Interacting with entities that don't have this in the same way, we have to change how we view intelligence to new standards.” — Rico Roho
