What arises from this model is a new definition of human intelligence: Intelligence is one's degree of alignment with truth, love, and power.
Hopefully the book will elaborate, but on the face of it this just seems confusing - why create a new definition for a common-use english word?

If the existing word doesn't mean what you want, wouldn't it be better to find a better word or coin a new one?
