When it comes to animals like Apes, Dolphins, Penguins, birds and elephants; scientists say that those animals are intelligent because they are social creatures. However, when it comes to humans, the most intelligent of us are usually solitary loners. What went wrong?

Not necessarily.

First post best post
even "loner" humans are living in houses built by other people, eating food grown by other people, drinking water cleaned by other people and delivered by pipes put in by other people, using roads made by other people, etc etc
people who are actually completely disconnected and living innawoods completely by themselves are usually fucking psychopaths

Some loners spend the time thinking and learning and grow beyond those who came before us.
Some loners are anti-social.
Some loners are crazy mad.
There are far more of the last two types.

The last and the first are the same thing. If you spend time alone you start thinking in your own way. That can be good for coming up with new ideas. But when you can't connect your thoughts to others because you start assuming that your train of thought is what everyone should be having that's when it starts seeming crazy.

Not necessarily. They could also be the victims of high intelligence psychopaths who have broken them down so much so they don't dare being around people any longer.

Let me guess... You think you're a loner with a great deal of intelligence, or at least above average?
Seems silly that someone claiming to be intelligent has such a stupid post.
>>8673163
You're using the same word, "intelligence", to measure different things. That's what went wrong.
Nothing went wrong, humans just achieved multiple ways of communication that exist beyond our biological tool set.
Reminder that your loners use books communicate to other loners.
> the most intelligent of us are usually solitary loners
where did you pull that huge assumption from? Your ass? Is it the "I am so lonely an I am so intelligent" meme?
