Indeed.
Care to define smarter? I define it as taking care to not shoot one's self in
the foot. Others define smarter as deliberately shooting someone else in the
foot and thinking it will never ricochet back (as into a financial crisis, CIA
blowback, etc). Yet others define it as some academic ability. Academic
ability is at least harmless, and sometimes it even bears fruit; for
example when it's applied to microbiology and the like. Door #2 above seems
the operative MO.

Lest anyone think this means the rest of the world is a whole lot smarter,
it doesn't. They're for now more clever, superior in math and science,
the
way we once were. But they're as oblivious to the all important environment
that keeps them alive and that they have no idea they can't live without
that they're destroying it as fast as they can. Little things like
they'll
be out of drinking water in a couple of decades at most and top soil to grow
food is way down and on and on. Instead they're building and driving cars
as
fast as they can get their hands on them. Speaks for itself about human
intelligence don't you think? Sorry to be so negative, but it's just
reality.
