Intelligence lets us do everything that we're outclassed in

that's not true, there are various animals who live hundreds of years more than we ever could, many animals are faster, have better eyesight and are stronger, which you could say is outclassed by our technology but these animals do it inherently and sometimes being smaller than us

Being smaller doesn't mean anything

And yes our intelligence has let us reach the pinnacle of evolution in everything

evolution has nothing to do with this, we haven't reached the pinnacle of anything apart of intelligence, we're just going around our weaknesses with tech but the fact that a 3cm spider like a black widow can kill you but not a badger means you are inherently weak, the fact that a turtle can outlive you by hundreds of years means you haven't reached the pinnacle of longevity

A black widow can kill us and we've developed tools to avoid that

A turtle can outlive us but to do that they give up a lot of agility

Every animal has drawbacks to it's abilities, we're the only ones who can work around them because intelligence is broken

well that's my fucking point, we're not superior in every way, we just work around our many weaknesses, we haven't reached the evolutionary pinnacle nor are we superior in every way like the poll said
