As smart as dolphins are they can't seem to figure out how to jump over the cork line of a tuna net. I guess that it has more to do with a blind spot and with the way their mind works, which points to a concept I think about a lot which is the blind spots we all have. So when we talk about intelligence, we can't ignore the possibility that all of us have blind spots that our intellect can't necessarily solve. By every intelligence guesstimate we have about dolphins i.e. the amazingly complex things they can be taught, yet they still cannot deduce how to jump over those nets. I always wondered, if we could teach dolphins to jump over the cork line of a tuna net and then turn them loose to the wild could they then teach other dolphins to jump over the cork line? Sort of in line with we have a natural ability to speak, but have to learn to read and write.
