If an animal does something, they call it instinct. If we do exactly the
same thing for the same reason, they call it intelligence. Entomologists
say that ants, for example, are guided entirely by instinct and not by
intelligence. They say the ants do not know what they are doing. And do the
entomologists know what they are doing? Besides watching ants, I mean. I'm
only asking. I guess what they mean is that we all make mistakes, but
intelligence enables us to do it on purpose.
