Well, to be fair, that is precisely what birds evolved to do. It's like complementing a tree for being tall.

- theendisney 3y agoIf they have plenty of food they wouldnt need to steal from animals that evolved specifically to kill them. If the cats were hungry enough often enough they would find 100% of the snacks. After fasting for 3-5 days I have crazy focus, I see and hear everything. I also have aggresive tendencies that are totally alien to my normal personality. Punching an annoying coworker all of a sudden seemed like a perfectly normal response. He is always like that, it takes no effort to ignore it.
- bobbylarrybobby 3y agoBeing smart (in the all ways we exhibit intelligence) is what humans evolved to do, but it'd be hard to argue that that doesn't make us smart after all.
- jvanderbot 3y agoI don't understand. It's true that judging humans by human intelligence should have a perfect alignment. But it's not necessarily true that judging other creatures' actions by drawing rough analogies to human intelligence is valid. Birds waiting for an opportunity to steal seeds doesn't really strike me as a universal indicator of intelligence.
