‘It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value..”

While reading Sunday’s edition of the Bangkok Post, an English newspaper published daily in Bangkok, I found this interesting quote by the famous Science Fiction writer and scientest, Arthur C Clarke, featured prominently on the front page of the Outlook Section (Entertainment) under the byline ‘Quotable”.

I found it absolutely hilarious that a quote like this would end up in the most widely read English newspaper in Thailand. And I chuckled as I read this quote as I am in total agreement with the esteemed Mr. Clarke. Man is one of the newest species on this planet and his intelligence may lead to his eventual extinction or he could vanish in a heartbeat just like the dinosaurs, and the insects will inherit the earth. Oh well…
