It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value.

It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of intelligence does not guarantee an individual's long-term survival. While intelligence is often associated with problem-solving skills and adaptability, the quote questions whether intelligence alone is enough to ensure an individual's survival and success in the long run. It implies that other factors, such as instinct, physical abilities, or environmental adaptation might be equally or more significant in determining an individual's survival. The quote prompts us to reflect on the multifaceted nature of survival and challenges the assumption that intelligence is the key determinant for long-term success in life.
