> They enjoy themselves obviously. But not while doing complex and creative things such as painting or sculpting or playing complex games such as chess. They are content doing the same things over and over again (chirping songs, playing tag, ect.). We are not. As for the quantum mechanics, this discussion goes much deeper than intelligence. This discussion does not concern intelligence, because it is not objectively quantifiable. I only said those skyscraper examples to prove a point of “how did we come to this point”?

According to your reasoning, Fuel, I’m a Dolphin! I don’t play complex games like chess, I neither toil or spin and I spend a lot of time in the water. And I am content doing the same things over and over again, which is why I find myself reading this thread. 😉
