I put it to you that we have not yet, as a race, proven ourselves actually intelligent.

Not until we have solved basic poverty (that is to say that everyone has enough to eat, shelter, and a means of improvement), eradicated racism, and put superstition/religion in it's place (the past). Then at least we'll be able to start thinking we're actually an intelligent species. - Chris Means [a comment on the Kiva site]
