Stupid people really need to reproduce less. That or their stupid offspring shouldn't have the "survival of the fittest" natural law removed for them.

Point being, there should be a lot less stupid people in some way.

You mean eugenics?

That was once a very popular idea until the *ahem* unpleasantness. 

Eugenics is a great idea, just like communism. Sadly it shares a lot more with communism than just the good idea part.

This is what I am saying. If you have a cheetah that runs 20mph instead of 60, it would die off and have a very small chance of reproducing. If it does reproduce then its children would probably die off. The point is, any cheetah that runs 20mph instead of 60 is doomed. The 20mph cheetahs would most certainly would not be outnumbering the 60mph runners and they certainly wouldn't be breeding more than the 60mph ones either.

That's the best "slow" metaphor I could come up with. I don't think we should restrict births per se, but we should definitely lax back on preventing survival of the fittest. I know that sounds horrible, but face it. We're here because of survival of the fittest, and in the past century we have started to eliminate it almost thoroughly.

I know, I understand your point completely. To use the example you gave. Like Communism, Eugenics looks good on paper; but when it is put it into practice it generally does not work well.

I'm glad you do, not many do and think I'm fucked up in some way. The funny thing is that I am extremely liberal yet I support the removal of a system that keeps so many people up and going.
