Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much --the wheel, New York, wars and so on-- whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons.

wonders about the meaning of existence or the complexity of the universe or
themselves."
