An interesting response I once read in quora “At one point, I came to believe that high intelligence is no blessing, but rather a curse and that there would be a limiting level of intelligence that humanity would never cross because that level would mark the beginning of the conflict with the instinct of self-preservation. Indeed, I even came to believe that beyond such a critical threshold, intelligence would not only not confer an evolutionary advantage by increasing the odds of surviving to reproduce, but would actively militate against it by accelerating our progress on the path to voluntary self-extinction.”
I think what Leo mean is that, though you can “love” a crocodile, you would not be willing to sacrifice yourself to feed a starving crocodile because it goes against your survival instinct. However, if your love is total and infinite , you would be able to sacrifice yourself to feed the crocodile, which is impossible in finite human form. Am I right?
