He made us "super intelligent"...
I'm starting to think that intelligence is not a feature but a glitch.

Of course I can't prove this, but my personal head-canon is that on some sort of absolute scale (the sort a god would use so don't ask me to explain it) the difference between the smartest human and dumbest is probably negligible. Our smartest humans look really fucking smart to our dumbest humans only because none of us have met the Xoflorg race from Proxima 5 (arbitrary example), even the dumbest of whom, the absolute morons, understand quantum physics better than Stephen Hawking did.
(My head-canon also figures there's some other alien race out there who would think our dumbest people are super-geniuses.)
This reminds me of the plot of a Futurama episode where Leonardo da Vinci goes back to his home planet where he is a renowned moron.

Too good for just an upvote, have some Lemmy Gold.
Unlikely. Human intelligence is literally a freak development and needed some workarounds like early birth. More processing power needs more energy, which you have to supply somehow.
Hell yeah. Have you seen how happy manatees look when they're just floating along, eating seagrass, not a care in the world? Makes me think they have the right idea.
Ignorance is bliss.

Emotional intelligence is too low, and short term thinking still overrules long term thinking.
I don't think many of our problems is caused by our physical weakness
Well, not anymore, ye
