Some say that animals are less intelligent only according to anthropocentric definitions. I would like to clarify, that even by anthropocentric definitions, we still may not be the most intelligent. This post discusses this topic in depth, criticizing this assumption that I believe stems from dogma, similar to the assumption that Earth is the center of the universe. We may have the strongest sociological intelligence of all animals, but individually, we are not very intelligent, where chimps are superior, due to pharmacological/physiological reasons, physiological reasons that directly relate to the precise factor that allows for strong sociological development: domestication.

GRANDIOSITY Difference, or beneath. Grandiosity is the notion that you are superior to others around you. We can assume others are not like us, that they actually aren’t using an apparently simple façade, and that they are expressing their true selves. Then we will assume that the lack of complexity is because they are stupid. This is grandiosity. PARANOIA Similarity, or above. Paranoia is the notion that others may think similarly complex as the self. We can assume others are like us, that they think theoretically, abstractly, deeply, too deeply to a fault. Then people’s simple behaviors, and outward appearance can appear like a façade. Then, these schizophrenics might develop a social façade too. This is applicable to non-schizophrenics too tho. It’s just an exaggeration with schizophrenics. Trying to decipher other people’s hidden lives, beneath the façade, is paranoia. Link to the outro track: https://soundcloud.com/cosmicrush/aboveawe
