Evolution tells us we might be the only intelligent life in the universe - The Conversation
This article was published in The Conversation website. They claim to have "academic rigour, journalistic flair" but after reading the title, I'm not convinced about that.
"Evolution tells us we might be the only intelligent life in the universe" ?
Isn't this assumption a bit too arrogant? We can only guess if we are alone or not. But these guys go beyond that and assume we are the only intelligent form of life in the entire Universe.
By the way, what do they mean by intelligent?
Can we call intelligent to a parasitic species like the humans, the only species in the world who subdivides itself into races and religions who are always at war with each other? The only species in the world who keeps destroying his own habitat? The species in the world responsible for the most number of extinctions of other species?
I don't see humans as being an intelligent species but incredibly stupid. Sure, there are a lot of intelligent people out there. But as a whole, we are a really, really, really stupid species.
We will not stop destroying ourselves and the planet we live in, despite all the evidence that our actions are making the planet inhabitable.
Our politicians invent new excuses every day to keep acting as selfish, racist pricks. They mass murder people in the name of peace. The public is so brainwashed that they believe any lies told by the government.
The same people who claim to hate Nazis are defending Nazi regimes all over the world, like Ukraine and Israel. The same people who claim to hate Islamic Terrorists are supporting Politicians (Trump, Obama, Netanyahu, Erdogan, Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud) who are in bed with Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State.
It's time to stop being hypocrites. We are not intelligent. If we were, we would have stopped murdering each other a long time ago. If we were intelligent, we would not be repeating the same mistakes over and over again.
If the human species were really intelligent, our societies would be living in peace and harmony, just like the indigenous populations we arrogantly call "ignorant savages". We might be more technologically advanced than them but from a moral and conscious point of view, they are much more advanced than us. They know how to live, we only know how to survive.
