Surprise! Other cultures have differing beliefs about intelligence and the “worth” of life.
Where as most Judeo-Christians agree with the idea that intelligence should be a marker of more “worthy” life, there are plenty of Buddhit parables where buddhist saints chastises people for (for example) assuming a fly is…
