Humans, in theory at least.....

....are smarter than animals. They have a greater ability to rationalise and analyse. (I did say, 'in theory'.)  They can stand back from a situation, see it from a distance, make a complicated plan and then see it through, even if that involves allowing for various unexpected developments that may require a sudden change of course. Well, that's the idea.

How smart are we all really? Not as smart as we could be. But if you now think more carefully about what is or isn't really worth doing, you may yet have a brilliant idea.

We build too many walls and not enough bridges.   (Isaac Newton)
