So, intelligence exists.
We know that everything is made of matter and energy that's constantly changing form.
Logical deduction: intelligence is made of energy and matter.
Also logical deduction: energy and matter have the capacity to take the form of intelligence, and in fact they do.
But you know what? It really does not matter whether it is intelligence, or stupidity, or madness, or evil, or chaos, or something else that is causing the current state of affairs to be what it is. Something is causing our lives, the world, and the whole universe to be what they are. Out of the 7 billion human lives in the world the great majority lives in hardship. Out of the ones that have their material needs met, the majority do not know how to live happily. Whatever is causing all this suffering is not good. It has been doing what it does, for a long time, and it is not going to stop. I believe that even fortunate or privileged people at some time will eventually fall victims to the cruelty of life. That's the idea I want to convey.
Take what you like out of this, or don't take any of it. What we believe or dont believe, or what we understand or fail to understand doesn't change reality. It is what it is (unless we do something about it, of course).
Seems to me it's as if you expect life to be bliss or something. Again, perhaps from being taught about heaven earlier in life? Yes life is not fair or ideal or perfect, but mass suicide? Really? Isn't that more like running away from the problem instead of trying to fix it? Also I don't see how this is on the universal scale. This is small scale earthly life you're talking about. So why is all the energy in the entire universe intelligent and evil or sick or psychotic? Those are just human conditions and words.
Religion tends to put humanity as the centre of the universe and the special children that deserve eternal happiness. You are sort of doing that in your theory. If we didnt have to eat animals or plants would you be ok? If we were to eat rocks for example? Just curious.
