O'Keefe) says: >"An awareness of self" might be important to an intelligent organism, >but it might be a *consequence* of intelligence rather than a >*precondition* for it. "Self-awareness" is not required for intelligent behavior (my definition of intelligence, of course), but it IS necessary for the association of experiences which constitutes symbol definition. Note that symbol *manipulation*, as by digital computers, can proceed in the total absense of intelligence.
