The probability that we see reality as it is is zero

6. I'm not convinced that the evolutionary process doesn't care about intelligence.

He says evolution doesn't care, which, of course, is true because evolution is not about anything; but, I'm not at all convinced that intelligence doesn't convey a survival advantage. As a counter-argument to his claim, I would argue that humans are the most intelligent species on earth and I believe they are also dominant among multi-celled organisms.

Also, he argues that we are less intelligent than we were 20,000 years ago because our brains have shrunk by 10%. Then, toward the end, he goes on to argue that objects have no causal power. If objects have no causal power, how can the size of our brains be a measure of our intelligence?

It's an interesting video. You should post it somewhere besides General Discussion because it would probably get more discussion in a less active forum.
