Most of those attributes turn out to have perfectly good explanations in evolutionary psychology.
That being the case, there's no reason to expect a mind that isn't produced by the same process to possess them.

Will a mind unable put aside the fact that valves can make a t.v. set run, unable to dream, imagine, love, and lacking the motivation of greed and competition with its peers etc. - will that mind be able to discover the transistor as an alternative? Perhaps our evolutionary psychology is part of the reason we exhibit what intelligence we have, not just an unnecessary relic of our past?
