Simplified Meaning:
Humans are very smart, but sometimes our intelligence leads to bad decisions or harmful behaviors. Think about how some people create dangerous weapons or harm the environment even though they are smart enough to know better. For example, factories pollute the air and water, and nuclear weapons can destroy entire cities. This quote suggests that if there are other intelligent beings out there in the universe, they might also end up making similar harmful choices. It’s a reminder that intelligence alone doesn’t make us good or kind—our choices and actions matter too. So, it's important to use our intelligence to make positive, helpful decisions that improve life for everyone.
