I have to express my disagreement and point out that anyone who thinks these two paths lead to the same place and thus are equivalent is making a huge mistake.

No they don't! There are always consequences! You might get to the same outwardly position via each path, but they are not equivalent at all. I agree that people are attracted to one side or the other, but not knowing the consequences is not going to help in the end.

Each cell is unique and each does its own thing, but there is a global interdependence for sure! The cells which do not serve the whole and serve themselves alone are called cancer cells. They eventually kill the body. Serving self ignoring the interdependence of everything is suicide.

We individual humans, however, aren’t super intelligent. |
Most of nature's systems are indeed "super intelligent" as you called it. There was sustenance of many varieties of species before we started taking over with our civilizations. I really wonder why humans do not share the same intelligence as the rest of nature's other creations. We have seemingly evolved in a way that is very short-term gratification oriented which is very destructive for all. Perhaps Agent Smith was right. Perhaps we are the cancer of this planet.
