"No está claro que la inteligencia tenga algún valor de supervivencia a largo plazo."
— Stephen Hawking

Simplified Meaning:
Being smart doesn't necessarily mean you will survive or succeed in the long run. For example, dinosaurs did not have big brains, but they lived on Earth for millions of years. On the other hand, humans are very intelligent, but we face serious problems like climate change and nuclear threats that could end our existence. Intelligence might help solve problems, but it can also create new ones. To survive, it's more important to focus on balance, adaptability, and making wise decisions. So, while being smart is good, it's not the only thing needed to ensure survival and a good future.
