Octopus has 9 brains that can edit genes, and its IQ is too high to understand, why has it not developed a civilization?

I don't know if you remember the prophecy of the emperor - "Paul the Octopus"! In the course of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, it successfully predicted the results of many events, and then appeared on the cover of Time Magazine with its super high "prediction rate", which was once popular all over the world, making it the name of "Octopus Emperor".

Often referred to as octopus, the octopus belongs to the octopus family of octopus and, as the name suggests, has eight tentacles. It is the most intelligent of all cephalopods, molluscs and invertebrates.

Octopus has 8 brachiopods, 1 or 2 columns of wrist suckers; The octopus's 8 tentacles have more than 300 suction cups, each with 100 carats of force, and it is difficult for other creatures to escape once they are sucked by the octopus! In the ocean, there are not many natural enemies of octopuses, and it can even be said that it is the "overlord" in the ocean.

If in danger, the octopus will spew out a large amount of ink to attack the enemy, and the ink contains a paralyzing toxin, giving itself a chance to escape. In addition, octopuses can change their color according to their surroundings like chameleons, just like chameleons. The octopus uses color to hide itself, a camouflage that both helps it catch prey and protects it from retreating in the event of danger.

There are 500 million neurons in the octopus brain, with a total of 9 brains, the largest central brain is in the head, and the other 8 small brains are distributed in the octopus's 8 tentacles. The most important point is that octopuses are able to edit their own genes and have iQs that are incomprehensible. Logically, just editing their own genes has already defeated humans, but why did such a clever octopus fail to develop civilization?
