Intelligence is ability to create cognitive models of observed reality. It is inversely proportional to the time taken to create the model, number of iterations needed to create the model and number of input required in each set of observation. It is directly proportional to the accuracy, precision and agility of the created model.
We deal with everything and everyone by running a simulation through these models. The difference between a normal person and 'madman' is that madman does not run most of his random thoughts through these models.
Culture is essentially "a package of cognitive models" that has helped that specific group survive.
Once a model is formed its more resource intensive to increase accuracy and precision.
Ever wonder why otherwise intelligent people have absolute wrong opinion about certain topics? Because they have created wrong cognitive model of those topics.
