Intelligence alone does not get us where we need to go or even necessarily where we want to go. For that, the human creature must exercise harder-won capacities of wisdom, and wise action.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that intelligence is such a narrow branch of the tree of life - this branch of primates we call humans. No other animal, by our definition, can be considered intelligent. So intelligence can't be all that important for survival, because there are so many animals that don't have what we call intelligence, and they're surviving just fine.
From the lowest animals of which we can affirm intelligence up to man this type of intellect is found.
Most of the intelligence out there must be artificial intelligence. We keep looking for critters like us living on a planet like ours, where in fact the majority of the intelligence out there is not biological. That would be my argument.
I've learned that intelligence alone doesn't mean a damn thing. It only leads to violence and pain.
There's a lot of neuroscience now raising the question, 'Is all the intelligence in the human body in the brain?', and they're finding out that, no, it's not like that. The body has intelligence itself, and we're much more of an organic creature in that way.
Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done.
It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value.
If you look back today over the last 25 years, it is a fact that we have had a progressive degeneration of our intelligence community in general; in particular in the field of human intelligence.
Intelligence is not to make no mistakes, but quickly to see how to make them good.
Human folk are as a matter of fact eager to find intelligence in animals.
