Here is a link to the original article:

The basic deduction presented by the article is this: Intelligent life in the universe is likely to annihilate itself. Humans have not self-annihilated. Therefore humans are unlikely to be intelligent.
It would make sense if our neolithic ancestors simply stopped having kids as soon as they evolved the cranial capacity to understand that life sucks and isn't worth perpetuating. It follows that since we are still here, humans instead evolved a tendency for delayed cognitive development. Rather, only early humans whose sense of nihilism did not occur until well after the child-bearing years, had offspring. All modern humans are descended from them. Humans are the only intelligent life in the universe because we have BUILT-IN STUPIDITY, which persists for at least the first half of our lives. As further evidence, I offer any item covered by the 6 o'clock news.
