The world doesn't need more super intelligent people, it needs less stupid people. Am I wrong?

I think you're wrong.

Good to have more of the most intelligent because they are capable of stunning leaps but stupid people aren't a problem.

now if we could just get rid of short people ...

But yeah, seriously, I've often thought that I don't deserve to live only being 5'7". Other groups I consider unworthy of life: the ugly, the overweight, the depressed, the religious, the aesthetically unsophisticated, the elderly.

Also all Gentiles.

Maybe not, but I don't see any acceptable way to reduce the # of stupid people? Do you?

It is grossly immoral not to utilize cloning technology to replicate the world's most intelligent people.

The amount of suffering, death, and irreversible environmental damage that will occur because we refuse to artificially inflate the world's supply of universal geniuses is...immeasurable. And allowing it is grossly immoral.

Am I wrong? AM I WRONG?









Are you sure this isn't a gross oversimplification? More intelligent people mean more leaders when maybe we need fewer leaders and more followers (more worker bees).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it leaders not followers that make war?

Re: Am I wrong? Am I wrong?
 

I think that the cloning issue has a lot more to it than the potentially good things the resulting humans(?) might discover.

Re: Am I wrong? Am I wrong?
 

I see the point you are making, but I don't think there is any objective truth in it - though I don't really think that about most moral viewpoints.

Besides, the AI guys are saying 30 years untill we get machines able to use far greater logical reasoning than humans and we'll download what the geniuses they figured out instead and let the computers do the rest instead of hoping brainiac carbon-copies (that word is sooo funny when used on clones) will be just as good.

Re: Am I wrong? Am I wrong?
 

2 things.

Thing 1.The point about wether the clones would replecate the success of the original is irrelevant. The point is that it would raise that average intelligence accross the board, and that has to be +ev in terms of intelligent achievement, however you choose to measure it.

Thing 2. Wouldn't a dramatic increase in any type of people, be they more inteligent than average, less, or different in any other way from the norm, have repercussions in our society far greater than technological advances they may bring with them. I am talking of the way politics is conducted, and all other aspects of social interaction. If the curve was changed so the top 10% of the population all had an extremely above average IQ, how would that affect other aspects of life?

You're right---I didn't really kill myself, and they're diligently filling their arteries with delicious, delicious fat.
