Of all the planets in the entire universe with life (and we will assume there definitely are other planets with life), then one of them has to be home to the most intelligent life forms in the universe.

There is no reason that plant shouldn't be Earth.

what's wrong with religion? what's wrong with porn?
you should be more concerned about women being allowed to work.

I suggest you watch a movie called Solaris.
Takes on a nice view that life forms can take any form and we are far from understanding what we are let alone someone/something else.

It technically is....devolution may be real and LGBT are proof.

You're assuming a finite universe

Was talkin about intelligence :getting away from your "primary function" (if anything like this exists) is intelligent : without it we would still be wandering in the trees

Thesis: every intelligence is able to conceive of an intelligence more intelligent than itself

>Intelligence might be as unique to humans as having only hair and no fur and opposable thumbs with 5 fingers
>We might be the only intelligent species in the entire universe

What's scarier to you? This thought or the thought that there might be a species that is to us like we are to ants

Counter proof: Undevelop intelligent life can't imagine life more intelligent than itself
>>
>>8154562
What?
>>
>>8154555
Is this really true though? The intelligence can only conceive of an intelligence that is similar to itself. This is why stuff like sci-fi inevitably features humanoid creatures, if not in form then in thought. In this case, "more intelligence" is merely the intelligence's frame of reference with sharper reflexes.
>>
>>8154473
It is a logical fallacy to assume you are special just because there is no other evidence.

Every theory about why we haven't found other intelligent life that involves that we are in any way special can be safely ignored.

You should also consider that the earth is relatively young on galactic scales and intelligent life had enough time to evolve in other parts of the galaxy way before us.

Assume there are multiple planets with intelligent life.

Assume that all intelligent life has the same intelligence.

Then there is no planet with the most capacity for intelligence.
