Why is intelligence seen as some inescapable playbook of evolution?
Evolution has no agenda or goals, other than to select for survival. Most species on this planet have a low intelligence yet are successful, and don't seem to evolve into the direction of intelligence.

For every planet with intelligent life, there could be many more without it, no idea what that relationship might look like. I'm not suggesting it's the norm.
