In the above video, NdT brings up an interesting point for discussion.
Intelligence in the evolutionary record. Maybe our level of intelligence *is* a unique thing in the universe. Considering it doesn't seem evolutionarily necessary for wide and long survival, and it's only evolved for one species on our planet, ever. Maybe high intelligence is the total freak of the universe, and not just general existence of life. That is, maybe life is all over the place, but higher intelligence has not and will not evolve anywhere else because it's just not needed.
