Identic memory doesn’t require autism and can very well make you seem hyper intelligent when you’re just remembering shit.

Intelligence, to me, is defined as on the fly problem solving and improving. You can’t always remember a solution to a rapidly changing problem.

I think “intelligence” is definable as “computation that we don’t understand yet”.

Nah, that’s genius.
This is why we struggle so much with a definition of intelligence; it’s a complex, multifactorial thing and everyone understands something different in it.

That’s true. I pretty much agree with that assessment of intelligence, a high generalist knowledge along with good problems solving skills; though I have to concede that specialist knowledge or other ways of expressing intelligence are valid as well.
