RE: Humans Are Not Smarter Than Other Forms Of Life, Just Different

in #philosophy7 years ago

Intelligence means having or showing mental keenness. Intelligent usually implies the ability to cope with new problems and to use the power of reasoning and inference effectively.

yeah. google "craw brakes nut with car wheel"

The Thing with Animals is that they don't try to get better or make their living situation any better they are trying to survive and that's all they do

false beyond imagination. see above.

Humans have the ability to comprehend excessive data and are able to adapt to any kind of situation given enough time.

this is actually true for any species. this is how evolution works.

Come on that's just bullshit. Of course, we use tools that other's create why would we need to create the same tool if we can just buy it from someone else.

Most people don't know how their car operates, their tv. their fridge, computer. the things that define their lives.

Very few of us do. Most of us are dependent like small children. this makes the entire species very vulnerable.

Sort:

Wow so can an Animal Study math now? If they are this Intelligent as you make them out in the comments then they should very much be able to do that.

Their skill of making the world adapt to them is very basic. Most Animals will build a small shelter with some sticks or whatnot, but that's it. That's not what I call better their living situation.

Not to the same extent.

So you are telling me that every human who uses something that he doesn't understand is a liability to our whole human species? Wow, that's some pretty hard statement. Let's first get a master in engineering before we are able to fly a plane because we need to understand it to use it.

I'd say that more than enough humans know how cars, tv's or fridges operate, but it's nothing that you need to know in order to survive.

Irrelevant. Can you do math while crossing the street? no, but you can still be intelligent to do it.

You need to start investigating how ant and bee colonies work. Far more efficient than any human society.

How you think world war happen with millions of death? Also, what does that tell you about the "average human intelligence" if a handful of people know how to make the tools while the rest are just users? How are we any different than a monkey learning tricks?
