“I’ve heard this absurdity about ‘lower’ life forms since childhood. No one apparently noticed that we are literally »comprised of these.

But this is a trivial insult to my mind compared to framing humans as ‘the intelligent’ species.

There are precisely zero other organisms that would create cars and bombs, and obliterate »all complex organisms because they are having some kind of »conceptual tantrum.

The humans are the »least intelligent of the organisms.

What they have, rather than intelligence, is »the concept of intelligence. And a vast library of other concepts so poorly comprised, that anyone limited to their enaction would die in nature almost immediately.

Even if surrounded by food and shelter.”
