We're so intelligent

We're so intelligent a species.

Why do we fight one another and not have world peace? Why? :confused:

We are not intelligent. We don't even know how to treat other humans.

I'm sick of all you hypocrites
Holding me at bay
And I don't need your sympathy
To get me through the day
Seasons change and so can I
Hold on boy, no time to cry
Untie these strings, I'm climbing down
I won't let them push me away

This.... A small percentage of the human population are actually somewhat smart.... The vast majority are people who think they are special or smart when in reality they are stupid.

The kind people are actual humans. Even the so called smart people are arrogant and nasty.

Look at the government. They are meant to be smart, yet they continue to exploit themselves as hypocrites.

I think it's due to the fact that, as 'nations' or 'cultures' or 'religions' or whatever division is used to separate us into groups leads to said groups acting like fucking 5 year olds in the school playground.

I know a lot of very wise and mature humans personally, but as a species, we're fucking idiots.

Misanthropy FTW.

If you lived in a shitty corrupt as fuck third world country, but grew up rich as fuck in that country, and then later on you had enough money to buy yourself the election and become president, would you do it? Keep in mind, you were raised rich in a corrupt as fuck country, so your moral compass might not be great.

The opportunity to have absolute power is such a huge attraction that most people even with noble goals ultimately fall victim to it. There have been tons of movements that started out for freedom and democracy and helping people that ended up with dictators because the attraction of absolute power is so huge.

But then some other dude with absolute power decides he wants to expand his territory and have even more power, so he attacks you for it. Then maybe you decide you need more territory in order to be safer from the dude who attacked you, so you attack a country, and on and on.

Misconception that power is material.

Intelligence is knowing and utilising unlimited intelligence - spirit driven.

We are intelligent compared to what? Certainly not put up against the Godhead.
And who said intelligence and kindness go together? Chimps are nasty fuckers

"most" people........ who are conditioned to see this as the path to happiness

The idea of "absolute power" is actually dependence and slavery to an illusion.

ever seen sibling rivalry, when one child has been the only child for
say 4 or more years and a new baby arrives -- not pretty

sorry but seems to me the idea that intelligence runs the show is actually not intelligent itself

what runs the show?, you ask

genes, hormones, instinct, emotion, fear, pain, internal conflict, and personal past conditioning, and cultural conditioning, and ego

so called intelligence is the tippy tip of the iceberg
that we like to imagine is our proud possession
but its more like a little rancid perfume an old unwashed hag puts on to hide her stink

chimps hunt other monkeys rip them apart eat them raw and fight over them - what's 'intelligence' got to do with peace? Absolutely nothing!

the purpose of meditation is not to raise intelligence. It works on a different level.

Does a tree question its existence.
Are we superior because we do.
A life yet no feelings.
As important as me and as you.

Why dont they destroy each other.
As we feel that we must.
The struggle born of greed.
It's symbiosis not lust.

hatred, greed, and delusion, are noted as the 3 roots of bad karma.

they are complex responses that can only be created by intelligence, but intelligence is not the cause of them, they are dysfunctions of raw intelligence, and if we were to distill them all to one thing it would be delusion, or basically error, error, error...

Leads one to ponder if extra intelligence is wise sometimes. Look what it has done for us. Or maybe I'm being too short sided, and should our situation as a stepping stone in gaining wisdom of existing with this intelligence, and having a goal of sustainability.
