@sqrl,

I doubt dolphins or any others animals species can match our "intelligence".
It is not that we are qualitatively different from them (superior mamalian possess intelligence capacity + communication system like us) but we are quantitatively so far from them.

Take a human monkey from birth. Put all the efforts u want to develope his intelligence/memory, it will never match a well educated six years old children.
In fact, I believe 95% of the human beings, including the low educated ones with low knowledge, can own The Most Intelligent Monkey of All Time.

Again, I never said Dolphins were smarter than people.  I agree we are quantatatively far ahead of them, but I would point out that it is our standards of measure being used to make this assessment.  

So is it really a surprise that we determine ourselves to be superior? 

 

As a humerous thought, what f they were to choose the criteria? I bet we would fall a lot shorter of their criteria than they do of ours.

If dolphins were superior, how boring would "Human World" be? Come one, come all, watch the hairless ape DO MY TAXES!

It's not like we can do anything cool, like jump through an elevated hoop or balance a beach ball on our noses.

...

What the hell am I talking about? Sometimes I get some strange thoughts in my head.
