“I know human beings very well. They possess enormous desires and, to fulfill these desires, they are capable of displaying incredible strength. Some say that the greatest characteristic of human beings is their intellect, but they are clearly mistaken. Intelligence does indeed give rise to technology and invention. However, a truly intelligent person, despite being able to construct a gun, would never pull the trigger against a fellow human being. The act of not pulling the trigger - that is what should be termed 'intelligent.' And it's clear that humans lack that. Humans are relentless in kicking others to the ground, killing their own kind, and continuing to expand their desires. You could say that this tremendous desire is humankind's greatest weapon.”
