Just like the intelligentsia class in Cambodia out-thunk and out-witted Pol Pot and his merry band of thugs?

I don’t really understand the relevance of this statement.

Very interesting take.

So do you also believe that Kim Jong Un is the most intelligent man in North Korea?

reply
I don’t really see the relevance to my argument.

Are you saying it will be OK because we’re not as clever but we are more brutal than the super intelligence so we can still control it?

reply
Humans can control all the simpler organisms that make up most of the earth biomass?
reply
Yes but this is exactly my point - that is BECAUSE we are more intelligent than them.

We think we can introduce something cleverer than us and still control it. That makes no sense.

What is the evidence that humans can control most of the simpler biomass on earth? I don't think we can currently. Or even worse with non-living nature, not like we can just change how gravity works, for example.
