My Move
On any list of 'smartest dog breeds,' border collies always come out on top. But smart doesn't always mean easily trained, or willing to please. Smart can just mean what it always means, and that is having a capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc. (from dictionary.com)
Einstein was smart. So was Leonardo Da Vinci, Marie Curie, Plato and Sofia Kovalevskaya to name a few. Now we're talking brain cells on level I can't even comprehend. On my best day, plenty of sleep and hydration, I don't think I could grasp meanings better than any of those people, even today, when they're all dead.
So when people say stuff like, "Oh, my dog is really smart! He's the smartest dog ever," they MUST be talking in terms of dog smart, and not people smart. Because come on, they're dogs.
Well, except of course, MY dog, Pete. He is really smart! He's the smartest dog ever. Which is really annoying because it's been my move for a long time now and I only have my king left.
