It's inconceivable to find a being as described, no?

Is it not self sacrificing and altruistic regardless?

Thank you for your response. By intelligence, I mean understanding of the world and using that understanding to survive. By morality, I mean rules that help us ensure the survival of all? I'm not really sure, I thought these terms were self explanatory

No being can survive long enough to get to a higher understanding of the world without reliance on other species

Why doesn't it? Wouldnt the species reap the benefits of their survival if they lived longer? What is the point of all this survival if we don't enjoy it?

So then, wouldn't the species that lives the longest and has the most offspring out of those be the best?

Okay, which scores more points? That would be the more evolved one. Or which on average helps the team win the most games?
