The first in favor of approaching the notion of sapient systemsfrom the unlikely perspective of stupidity. The second, in favor of paying serious attention to the environment where agents endowed with decision autonomy \textemdash{}be they sapient, human or otherwise\textemdash{} interact. Although the paper is ostensibly speculative, some concrete elements are advanced to substantiate both arguments.}, author = {Pablo Noriega}, editor = {Rene V. Mayorga and Leonid I. Perlovsky} }
