        What role does intelligence play in influencing one's moral values and judgement?  That be my "Big Question".  I primarily geared this question towards George Orwell's Animal Farm when I composed it.  I basically intended the question to target the pigs in specific; how their intelligence (relative to the other farm animals) has influenced their judgement and actions.  It would definitely appear that the pigs' superior intelligence is the main reason why their word (especially Old Major's, and later Napoleon's) is typically revered be their fellow animals, and makes them optimal leaders - but how does it actually affect their judgement or their morals?  Although he was only included in the opening chapters of the book, Old Major seemed to want what was best for his fellow farm animals, but Napoleon and his minions (primarily Squealer) feed lies to their "comrades", and really only wish to exploit them for their own self-benefit.  So does the pigs' intelligence cloud their judgement?  Not necessarily, but it does seem to give them more potential to take advantage of others (since they can effectively figure out how to).
