Strength Superior To Intelligence

[variant]

And yet, because we're so smart, we can sometimes be stupid. Thus that picture you have there.

We tend to take new discoveries and make them into weapons, even if that weapon now become a problem. N. Korea, anyone? Or even Iran, for that matter?

But strength can sometimes beat intelligence. You can't say one is better than the other for EVERY circumstance. Rather, I believe strength to be the balance to intelligence. If you have both, then wow, you're pretty strong, and not just physically. But morally and intelligently too.

Amorally speaking of course, the point is that in a head to head match up, no amount of physical strength is a measure for what a brain can accomplish.

Again, I say, it depends on the circumstances, and what you mean by head to head. Give us a direct example, and I will give you an opposite one favoring the other side.

Plus, I'm not so sure I know what "amoral" means.

The entire exercise would be entirely unnecessary, our species makes it's livening by having the ability to manipulate nature in ways that stronger animals can not answer.

Plus, I'm not so sure I know what "amoral" means.

I mean when you leave out the moral consequences of having more power, we can simply examine the power itself.

Sure inventing things like nuclear weapons can cause lots of stupid and terrible things, but there is no debating it is powerful.

So, there is no debating that you can accomplish more with intelligence than you ever will with strength.

Amoral.
