Unfortunately the lack of a definition of intelligence makes all claims unfalsifiable too.

But Western reductionism/Laplacian determinism is still taught even at the PHD level as cannon and not as a target for practical models.

Perhaps the rise of research into indecomposable continua and the discovery of Strange non-chaotic attractors in nature may help.

Obviously math and computer science as taught today is insufficient.

I particularly blame the way we teach things as absolute truth and then pull the rug out from under those previous supposed hard facts.

But I am showing my own ignorance here because we do learn about the computable set etc...

It doesn't seem to help with people making claims about universal quantifiers being a few quarters away.
