We already tried that...
We already tried that...
I usually don’t go in for Godwinning a thread, but this story is uniquely deserving of that disctinction...
So... You know who else was a big believer in breeding a master race?
Ultimately, it probably wouldn’t work. Every society that has tried to engineer a superior human being has failed.
One group, from England, even tried to separate themselves by living on an island. That island became quite inbred over thirty years.
This didn’t end very well last time.
Have at it China. There are more unemployed geniuses than effective ones.
Much better that you let the free markets work and let those REAL geniuses rise to the top.
Raising geniuses doesn't lend itself to micromanagement...let nature take its course.
But then, you are welcome to our in house genius, Obama.
He is a hothouse orchid...and look at what he has accomplished (nuttin' honey).
Not going to happen. Any technology the Chinese develop will spread to the rest of the world as well. And parents all over will undoubtedly want smarter kids.
Welcome to the 21st century.
Coincidentally, I happened to watch this just last night:
Gattaca. Ethan Hawke. Uma Thurman. 1997.
Online, free, and pretty darn good movie. Recommended for your Saturday night entertainment.
We are leading the race to the bottom.
It would be complete karmic justice if the Chinese somehow found out that they aborted all their top geniuses.
Our government engineers idiots through the educational system. Idiots are easier to control by tossing them scraps once in a while. What makes China think the geniuses would put up with the Chinese government?
What’s Chinese for Aryan?
There first test will be to pronounce...Chevrolet.
A nation of inbreds...lol. Nature favors diversity.
Jesus weeps for humanity.
I’d like to see the list of 2,000.
I’ll bet it’s a politically incorrect gender and racial time bomb.
If we had the names, it would be fun to watch white American genius male professors denounce the whole project and claim they had no idea how their DNA was going to be used.
Hubris!
A Thousand Chinese Einsteins Every Year
In China, DNA tests on kids ID genetic gifts, careers
CHINA Hong Kong becoming a leading centre for genomic research
So what happens when a generation of geniuses figure out that communism doesn’t work?
