@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.

 

 

 

==> I also never said "smarter". I said "match"

But do you think Dolphin have a conscience of their existence as we have ?
I personnaly doubt.

do you think dolphin have a conscience of the world we are living ?
I doubt too.

do you think Dolhin will EVER ask themselve the question :  do you think we are more intelligent than human ?""

 I think this is what make us so different of the others species :

conscience of our self
+ conscience of our world
+ big stupid all the time question like "are we more inteligent that Dolphins ?"
