Re: Eugenics
Some guy said it earlier "the world needs ditch diggers". Capitalism will fail without "stupid people" to put in the elbow grease, and buy the worthless products. I'm sure the mile high futuristic skyscraper you're gonna live in in the future will need pathetic workers to get constructed. You seriously need to rethink you're totally naive attitude to everyone who isn't like you. You write off too many things with simple labels and aren't confronting your real motivations. At the end of the day you are condoning erasure of certain types of people cause you can't transcend your own righteousness.

Re: Eugenics
You also seem to not really have an idea of who you want erased, just retards? or people who score below a certain point in IQ tests? just to be safe

And hey, I'm all for brutally honest statements that show no compassion, but if you are going to be cavalier about the plight of a huge group of other human beings on Earth, wouldnt it also help to be, like, you know, right? The world most certainly does not need ditch diggers. At least, not if everyone were smart enough to innovate. EDIT: What I mean to say, of course, is lets just let the Alphas and Betas handle the grunt work amirite?

Re: Eugenics
I was just trying to point out the role people play in this guys world. I didn't actually reveal anything about my own opinion, so how am I being heartless, I don't even really get your response. My opinion is, anyone who has an ideal that involves erasing people I'd say is the person bringing down humanity, since they obviously have no real self worth and only wish to further feed their fantasy life.

Re: Eugenics
vhawk,
I'm not only talking about intelligence, empathy is important too (I don't know how much genes have to do with that though, or how it would be detected well). What are you basing your claim that we are getting smarter on? How much do you think education affects intelligence? Forced education isn't that easy either.. Also, do you think we are now doing a good job in making the world a good place to live for future generations (and ourselves and animals)? Or near to that? Wouldn't a little help be needed? In my opinion, it is, even if more education helps too. In addition, eugenics might solve problems other than that (mainly, the fact that we are not well adapted to modern environment, which causes depression etc.). Edit: I also never said I'd support forced sterilization or abortion.
