Huh?!
No...look...
You claimed that our intelligence requires some super intelligence to create it, right? Or did I understand it wrongly?
If that is right, then one can say that Intelligence with capacity X (human) requires an Intelligence with capacity Y (with Y greater than X) to be created.
But can the same not be said of Intelligence with capacity Y? That it requires an intelligence of capacity Z (with Z greater than Y) for it to be created?
And another of capacity W (W > Z) for the previous to be created?
And so on and so on, and so on...
Did I misunderstand your point of view?
No. If the "super intelligence" is completely self sufficient, then no need for a regress. That was what I was stating.
