A much more robust definition of intelligence, to me, is not someone who predicts the future, but someone not harmed too much by the future. The future is full of shocks and where forecasts fail, so intelligence is better measured by avoiding ruin and staying functional (buffers, adaptability, optionality) than by being right.
