Relative to what? My dog might drag his ass across the floor, but at least he can be taught not to do something, and would never vote for Turnip...

Your dog can also be taught to vote for turnip.

As was half of America

Relative to every other lifeform we're aware of. You're confusing intelligence for wisdom, which we've proven to be really, really bad at as a whole.

This place can be fucking unbearable

I have already shown you how that isn't true.

I'd argue wisdom is the defining feature of "human intelligence", so if you say we're pretty devoid of that... then we're not so different from the other animals. It is only our lifespans and the ability to communicate complex ideas that really differentiates us.

The hardware those thoughts operate on hasn't changed nearly as much as the cultures it produced.
