This is profoundly and disturbingly bad argument.

1)Leibniz wasn't superhuman 2) Leibniz couldn't work 24/7 3) he could not self increase the speed of his own hardware (body) 4) he could not spawn 1 trillion copies of him to work 24/7

Like how much time did you think before writing this

Again, my reaction is... so what?

A trillion hyperintelligent demons might be cogitating right now on the head of a pin. You can't prove they aren't thinking up all sorts of genius evil schemes. My point is that "intelligence" has never been a sufficient - or even necessary - component of imposing ones will on humans.

I feel like HN/EA/"Grey Tribe" people fail to see this because they so worship intellect. I'm much more likely to fall victim to a big dumb man than smart computers.

huh what ? this is a whole new level of flat earther thinking. you actually believe that apex predators are not the most intelligent? Like humans became the apex because of something else than intelligence? AI and covid showed humanity what levels of wacky stuff people believe. I am not trying to convince you, thank you for showing me this perspective :)
