Neil DeGrasse Tyson on Why Humans Are SO DUMB

Neil DeGrasse Tyson Talks about how the human race is stupid compared to alien intelligence, he states that the difference between human and chimp DNA is just under 1% so what happens when we meet some alien race, will their kids be smarter than our Stephen Hawking?

Neil deGrasse Tyson's perspective on the potential intelligence gap between humans and alien species is certainly thought-provoking. While it's important to remember that we currently have no empirical evidence of extraterrestrial life, the idea of meeting an advanced alien civilization raises fascinating questions.

If we ever encounter an alien race, their level of intelligence would likely depend on various factors, just as human intelligence is influenced by a combination of genetics, environment, and culture.

To nitpick, he never says WHY we are so dumb, only that when compared to real intelligence we likely ARE so dumb we will be lucky if we are seen as moderately bright animals.

In the end he reverted to Tarantino…”There are known known (things we know), known unknowns (things we know we don’t know), and unknown unknowns (things we don’t even know we don’t know)”…I agree the unknown unknowns are the most interesting by far.
