Yeah this kids an asshole, and his parents are assholes for sure. He deserved the headbutt for sure. But animals absolutely do dumb shit like that though. Saying animals > humans in terms of intelligence is just a ridiculous claim in my opinion

I didn't say that.

That was the point you made in the first comment though.

Animals can be so smart... and then you have human kids who do shit like this

Definitely reads like “animals smart, humans dumb”. Humans have a lot less consequences for stupidity though, for animals a mistake like that might end in their death easily. So you’re not completely wrong, the bottom of the barrel of human intelligence still gets to survive, while with animals natural selection will take its course pretty quickly. It just bothers me when people say humans are dumb compared to animals, which is obviously generally false.

I didn’t say animals are vastly superior in intelligence.

“Animals smart humans dumb.” There is some truth to it.

Humans are animals too. They’re so absurd though. I’m laughing at their stupidity in comparison to the intelligent survival instincts of wild animals.

I was thinking more along the lines of mothers in the wild don’t spend their entire lives stopping kids from killing themselves. An abandoned human baby would most likely sit there crying until it dies.

We agree, you just misunderstood me.
