There is “intelligence” and there’s “intellectual.” The human species may have intelligence but we are not intellectual when it comes to protecting our home.

This question nurtures the assumption that the intellect as such, in itself, is of supreme value. Reconsider the assumption!

Greed and arrogance

Are we the most intellectual? Or are we just so arrogant that we think we are?

It is the western civilisation with their ugly science and technology started this destruction with their consumerism and commercialism which has now spread to all over the world. It has destroyed millions of sustainable community lifestyle throughout the world

Given the scale of human impact and the time we have known about its negative effects, I'd argue that there is a world of difference between intellect (possessing an ability) and wisdom (using that ability).

It is possible because human "progress" has been driven by greed, not by intellect, and, more than "possible", it may actually be inevitable. Are intelligent enough to counter human nature? ✂️👣🌏🌍🌎🙂
