Which, by inference, leads to the dreaded infinite regress problem.
Why do you need an infinite regress?
A is self-sufficient. You can go to B without moving backwards.
Isn't it obvious?
If you posit that intelligence requires some super intelligence prior to it, then that super intelligence also requires some super-super intelligence prior to it... and then a super-super-super intelligence... and so on and so forth.
If A is self-sufficient, then how is standard human intelligence not self-sufficient?
