There is no proper definition for what intelligence is. IQ is well-defined – it’s the number that comes out of an IQ test. This number correlates with many concretely measurable things, such as success (income and/or education level). I don’t desire kids, but if I did have kids, I would do what I could to increase their expected IQ, such as through genetics, since that correlates with success and ease of living. These are valid conclusions. Formal logic is not used, only statistics.
