For the sake of argument lets say "Future Evolution of Tool Using Intelligences" while I really like the debate about intelligence of whales (I think they just might be smarter than us in some ways) if a creature cannot make and use tools to manipulate it's environment it's intelligence will not be able to build a technological civilization and never go to the stars or have any real impact on the universe outside it's own mind. I was thinking about another intelligence we could watch or guide into the future of space travel and the universe. I genuinely think that any intelligence will eventually die out or advance toward leaving the Earth for space. Only tool using intelligences have the option of the latter. Extinction or expansion, everything leads to one or the other.
