Lewis Bollard explains Richard Dawkins' counterintuitive theory: intelligence might actually protect us from the worst of suffering. "Less intelligent animals might feel pain and fear more acutely than more intelligent animals. And that's because they can't rationalize it. They can't tell a story around it... It is just unmitigated pain. And they don't know when it's going to end."
