In your example above, I would believe the MORE INTELLIGENT human is the one that knows, he cannot escaped a chain around his neck,,,,,,not by his own abilities anyways.
Just basing my opinion on the information given and not any assumptions.
So you're saying the gamest, most intelligent men in Alcatraz prison were the ones who "knew" they couldn't escape ... and sat around accepting their fate ... rather than the few who relentlessly tried and finally figured out how to do so?

I absolutely disagree.

I guess you think the gamest, smartest dog are also the ones who "know they can't win" ... and stop trying too? Again, I absolutely disagree.

The gamest, smartest ones are the ones who never stop trying and always figure some "way" to do what they want to do.
