Intelligence may be a relative term. Intelligent enough to pollute the world and cause extinction? I think I would prefer to live in a world where intelligence means able to live with other species in peace and harmony without development that destroys the peace and harmony. Man may not be as intelligent as he thinks!
@ Margaret. I totally get your perspective. But whales, dolphins, elephants, chimpanzees, octopi - they don't produce philosophy, art, literature, science, poetry. So I guess you're saying there is a price to pay for being smarties, and maybe it's too much....
