Ever met a three year old? It’s a complete mystery the human race survived this state of complete suicidal insanity. For all their beauty and cuteness I would be careful with claims of intelligence. It’s very narrow and very specific.

By having kids myself I actually started to demote human intelligence. We are smart eventually but it takes a long, long time and there is a mind boggling amount of stupidity before that stage is reached. Our final stage is indeed very impressive, I agree.
