My dog is an intelligent being and he doesn't share our affinity for math. We have to acknowledge that our concept of intelligence is human-centric. What we interpret as knowledge is based on our specific limitations and perceptions. We don't know what intelligence is and won't necessarily know it when we see it.
- yetihehe 4y agoMy dog is pretty dissatisfied when I show him 3 treats and then give him 2, so he has uses for maths, but he can no longer multiply.
- swalsh 4y agoYour dog is unlikely to visit other planets searching for other intelligent life
- myshpa 4y agoLet's hope then that aliens coming here will be vegan. We're not intelligent enough yet not to harm others, or to go to other star systems, or even other galaxies. Would we be considered intelligent, or a source of protein?
- swader999 4y agoWhy does my dog growl at my other dog when it tries to eat it's food? It seems to understand subtraction at a basic level.
- dandanua 4y agoMany "successful" humans don't know a lot of math or physics either. It seems you only need to know how to subtract and divide.
- carapace 4y agoHas your dog ever jumped somewhere and landed where he intended to? Has he ever caught a ball or frisbee that you've thrown? If so, then he understands basic calculus. He can't write the equations, but he can solve them.
