Admitting that a definition is informal doesn’t make it acceptable.
Try this:
“Art is defined as anything I, passive_fist, personally like. I admit this might not be a universally agreed-upon definition, but it is a definition that will be used throughout this article.”
Again, I want to stress that I have nothing against debating the meaning of Wisdom. In fact, I would enjoy debating it. But let’s not pretend we’re having a logical argument here.
Yeah, I’m not sure how that’s appreciably different from defining “intelligence” as “optimization power” other’n that’s a local norm, whereas there is no local norm for “wisdom.”
Intelligence is also a hard-to-define term, no doubt about it. And the same arguments I’ve been giving also apply to intelligence. But when you try to do an even finer act of logical separation—separating wisdom from intelligence—the arguments apply doubly.
