You have to be as stupid as an atheist-materialist-sci-ranger-blog-rat to not recognize that animals who don't write short stories and novels demonstrate intelligence. I don't think that's at all unrelated to the Renaissance and "Enlightenment" Eureopeans who assigned sub-human non-intelligence to entire racial groups covering entire continents on that claimed basis, such as David Hume's racist dismissal of the poetry of people of African ancestry, even though that racist fathead could read it. And don't get me started on the racism of Voltaire. The troll couldn't process the many quotes he challenged me to produce on that count, which I did, in both the original French and the English translation.
That the "enlightenment" intellectuals wanted to murder those people and steal their land is entirely relevant to judging their intellectual claims.
No, that kind of stupidity is endemic to atheist-materialists, of both the elite kind who have demonstrated some actual intellectual originality as well as for the ass-end variety of that which does no more than repeat slogans on an intellectual basis lower than African gray parrots have demonstrated. You can get college credentials in the United States doing that, you can get a grad degree pleasing the common-received POV without more than that.
With so many of them it's not actual thought in evidence, it is repetition of mere attitudes or fuzzily processed preferences. Though I would acknowledge that is a sign of the possession of a capacity for intelligence, I'd see that as more of a misdirected potential than anything impressive in that area. I've seen many animals display more creative intelligence than that. Chickens, many species of birds, cats, dogs, foxes, possums, etc. I don't spend enough time observing individual insects to claim that I would recognize it in them, though if bees telling other bees where to find flowers isn't a demonstration of intelligence, the word has no meaning.
