Are We Really an Intelligent Species?

Neil deGrasse Tyson doesn’t hold back when questioning humanity’s self-proclaimed intelligence. With his signature sarcasm, he highlights how we’ve built rockets and decoded DNA—yet still struggle with basic logic, empathy, and long-term thinking.

He jokes that if aliens were watching us, they’d be baffled: *“You have the power to understand the universe… and you use it to argue on social media?”* From climate denial to war, Tyson suggests our behavior often contradicts the very definition of intelligence.

In one clip, he says: *“We call ourselves intelligent, but we’re the only species that knowingly poisons its own environment.”* His point? Intelligence isn’t just about knowledge—it’s about wisdom, foresight, and using what we know to make better choices.
