Our ability to copy others is a sign of intelligence, not stupidity.


I'd have gone with the && operator on this one.


copying others is a sign of intelligence, being unwilling to choose something of value to copy is a sign of a lesser intelligence


IMHO it is more about values, and not so much about intelligence.


While somewhat unique, the two are not seperable.


But our inability to realize we are copying and stop and think why is a sign of stupidity ;)

Or is there more going on and I am being stupid ? Like people being aware but doing it to fit in due to social instincts ?
