"Nothing has caused the human race more trouble than intelligence." — Hitchcock's Rear Window, script by Hayes and Woolrich.

The chief limitation of our intelligence
is that it tends to be too particular and narrow-focussed.
Finding it difficult to 'take a cosmic view',
we are very bad at seeing how tight
we are very bad at seeing how tight
are the - socially imposed - boundaries of our minds.
"We all want to know whether animals are talking and what they’re saying. Although there’s a weird split personality on this: on the one hand, we want animals to talk; but on the other, we’re scared of animals talking because that would mean we’re not quite as special as we thought." — Arik Kershenbaum
