The fact that our "native" heuristics fail spectacularly in certain circumstances doesn't imply that they're crappy. They serve us well most of the time. And I say "our" because AFAIK, their efficacy doesn't have much to do with intelligence, though the capacity to question what they tell us does, I suspect.

I want a pair ;) In all seriousness I agree tho, intelligence does not strictly cover ethics and morals, but we are headed into boundless territory there if we continue
