"The worlds smartest man means no more to me than the worlds smartest ant". Dr Manhattan
I am not the smartest person in the room nor the least. But I know my smartness / IQ lies on a spectrum - just like my tolerance for cold or for oxygen etc.
It's pretty easy to find places where my tolerance for cold is utterly exhausted, and there are situations where the same is for my IQ. And it's fairly easy to find animals or other organisms who can easily handle temperatures I cannot.
I suspect in the big universe there are plenty of creatures whose intelligence and smartness extends out past the spectrum on which I, pg or Einstein sit.
I would like to know the answers they have to these questions - and I wonder if I would ever understand them.
One day we might meet such a species. Will we be happy as the pet?
