To me it seems obvious from looking at the history of the earth that the world changes and what might be effective at one point is not necessarily so in the future.
Is it up to me to show that "all things aren't equal", or is it up to you to show that "all things are equal"? Whose opinion should be the default position that needs to be refuted?
I think I have given sufficient real world examples to at least make further thought into this matter worthwhile. Probably we should both try and argue the others side or something.
Repeated asteroid strikes that kill all multicellular creatures would be an example of an environmental change that prevented (or at least delayed) an intelligence explosion.
In a benign environment, nature appears to favour collecting computing elements together. The enormous modern data centres are the most recent example from a long history of intelligence deployments.
