“The problem with human brains is that they are too smart to be good.”

A sentence spoken by one of my cat’s siblings

moi-mandu

Frank, are you okay?

I’m fine

The problem with human brains is that they are so clever that they don’t understand why their brain is so clever

artificial-father

this is true!  There’s a lot of things that the brain can intuit before it learns how to consciously do it: like statistics when gambling!  Nature is beautiful because by happenstance it can be unconsciously smarter than the actual human mind.

I always assumed the “too clever to be good” phrase was just a way of saying something like “too smart to have consistent motives.”
