We’re the most intelligent species that we know of, so at that scale saying we’re “super-intelligent” is reasonable. It’s extremely likely that there are far, far more intelligent life forms out there, but until we know about them this is what we have to work with.
If a class all flunk an exam, but one is slightly better than the others, would you call that pupil super intelligent?
As far as I can tell that is where humans are right now, humanity is flunking the most basic of exams extremely badly, with wars pollution and even destroying the planet. We are essentially undermining our own existence as a species. And by that comparison, almost all animals are more intelligent than us.
But you could argue the way we are committing suicide is very very clever, because lots of money is being made on it.
As mentioned above, our intelligence is extremely limited in many many ways, so calling it super-intelligence is just weird.
There’s nothing to flunk. Intelligence is simply how effectively a being can acquire and apply knowledge and skills. You’re describing wisdom, which is not the same thing. God didn’t say he made humans super-wise.
There absolutely is, we are flunking our own survival and undermining our own well being by doing harm to ourselves, and that is absolutely lack of the most basic evolutionary intelligence.
Also remembering a number with just a few digits for just a few seconds most definitely has NOTHING to do with wisdom, but everything to do with basic intelligence.
I am most definitely using basic examples of intelligence, and not of wisdom.
To claim for instance not committing suicide is a form of wisdom, is moronic.
What part exactly do you think reflect wisdom? What exam have you seen that test wisdom over intelligence?
