You put too much stock in human intelligence, it doesn't annihilate human nature.

Everybody who flashed the signs of loyalty he took to be loyal. Everybody who flashed the signs of intelligence he took to be intelligent. And so he had failed to see into his daughter, failed to see into his wife, failed to see into his one and only mistress—probably had never even begun to see into himself

Nature never appeals to intelligence until habit and instinct are useless. There is no intelligence where there is no need of change.

To be human is to be 'a' human, a specific person with a life history and idiosyncrasy and point of view; artificial intelligence suggest that the line between intelligent machines and people blurs most when a puree is made of that identity.

Sticks and stones can break your bones, but names can kill you.

Exactly what the powers of hell feed on: the best instincts in man.
