Someone posted a link to the book on nostr. I invited them to review it here. I hope they do. I have thought about this a lot. I've thought about this same idea regarding alien life. Can we really evaluate other species' intelligence using our own?

I think we need to start from a more controllable, basic premise:
Can we really correctly evaluate our own species' intelligence? If yes, under which conditions?

This question is why I think it's so important to grant other beings the benefit of the doubt and err on the side of compassion.

I guess in general we can use our own intelligence as a reference to study the intelligence of other species. The thing is, a lot of the time we just don’t have enough info about a certain species, so the analysis ends up super incomplete.

Creo que cada cual incluso los animales son inteligentes por su propia sabiduría instintiva, no me considero animal mi inteligencia depende del razonamiento, el de los animales de su instinto biológico, por ponerte un ejemplo, el proverbio 30 de la Biblia: "24 Hay cuatro cosas que, aunque están entre las más pequeñas de la tierra, son instintivamente sabias: 25 las hormigas, que no son criaturas fuertes pero preparan su alimento en el verano; 26 los damanes, que no son criaturas poderosas pero hacen sus casas en las rocas; 27 las langostas, que no tienen rey pero todas ellas avanzan en formación, 28 y el geco, que se agarra con sus pies y se cuela en el palacio del rey."
Sin embargo los imitamos,

Intelligence isn't just problem-solving, it's about navigating complex social, emotional, and environmental worlds. Most animals are doing this already
