Is there any evidence that fully general intelligence exists in this world?

Depends on the definition used. You could argue that Bayes' Law is fully general intelligence.

Bayes Law is a fact/theorem which is probably useful for anyone who can understand it. But is that what you mean by intelligence? I thought it was about the abilities of an individual.

OK, then, any individual understanding Bayes' Law could be said to have "fully general" intelligence.

This is silly.

Silly? But is it true or false?
