And furthermore on the subject of intelligence, isn't it all really relative? I mean, put me in a tank full of water and start letting little fish and sea lice humiliate me and there's nothing my big smart brain can do about it. I'm out of my element and my high IQ or general genius can't begin to make the remedial grade. Just 'cause a species doesn't "intelligize" well on a human scale doesn't necessarily mean it ain't sparkin' on all cylinders. Who said human intelligence was the end-all-be-all??
Wouldn't it be nice if we weren't so smug about our feeble brain power?? There are all kinds of intelligence mingling among us but because they don't measure up on a standardized test, we smirk and poo-poo them. Yeah, look how smart we are - raping our environment, killing eachother willy-nilly, creating unsustainable growth.
Yeah - we're REAL smart.
