I get your point about intelligence. No arguments at all.
I'm wondering if there's a critical mass where you have to reach a certain level of intelligence where you can know how to communicate, and record your stories/experiences/discoveries for the exponential advancement of future generations to grow further on.
I look at the chimp videos and realise that every generation is reinventing the wheel from scratch...
I believe we are unique to reach that level of intelligence. Let's just call the dolphins and whales "gentle philosophers"!
Let's face it... All they can do is eat, shit, replicate and think. (Not much different from a human philosopher!
