YouTube video exploring whether animals are 'smarter' than humans by contrasting animal survival intelligence (hunting, social bonds, self-care without institutions) with human technological achievements (planes, machines).

Chapters

Go through winter, they have to go through hunting. They have foes, they have friends, they have families, and it works. And they don't have insurance, they don't have police to help them. They don't have hospital if they go sick. They have to survive by their own. So they are extremely intelligent in their own ways. It's just that we sometimes think that we're more intelligent than them because we build planes. Okay, but if I was to ask you, will, can you build a plane? You can't, you know, it's just that it's, it's build up information from previous humans put together. And you said, but then I'm going to ask you, can you fly on your own? Then the bird would say, well, you're stupid. You can't fly. You need to build a machine. I can fly. A bear can.
