Sigh. If you guys want to jump to conclusions that are wrong and then expect me to straighten you out, try again. RegardsDL

When someone starts saying things like giving power to the fittest and brightest, eugenics usually isn't far behind.
This may be true to some, but not for the most intelligent. As to the statement itself. Today, are we not mostly giving our best and brightest the top positions in business, sports, politics, etc. When do we give top positions to less than the fittest? RegardsDL

The words "most intelligent" tend to make warning lights flash. This may be true to some, but not for the most intelligent. (Would the "most intelligent" be you, by any chance?)

Top position in politics = POTUS. True. Today, are we not mostly giving our best and brightest the top positions in business, sports, politics, etc.Best and brightest = Trump. False. I gues the obvious answer to your question is, "No."

Greatest I am writes: Another who says I do not understand something,... There are online dictionaries where you could look up "eugenics," Dictionary.com for one.
...yet will not bother correcting me or showing my error. Once you look up eugenics you'll see how it advocates proactively favoring the fittest (and proactively hampering the unfit through means like sterilization and extermination) in order to further improve the breed. If you guys want to jump to conclusions that are wrong and then expect me to straighten you out, try again. The connection between favoring the fittest and eugenics seems pretty obvious. If drawing this connection was incorrect in this case then you need merely explain, instead of pretending you don't know what eugenics means. --Percy

The first sentence is from me, the second from you, but there's no way to tell the difference. I think what you meant to say was this:

Today, are we not mostly giving our best and brightest the top positions in business, sports, politics, etc. There's no central authority with the power of "giving our best and brightest the top positions," but you seemed to be advocating for one, hence the eugenics connection. --Percy

The issue has nothing to do with eugenics.
We have always sought our fittest to reward then and advance humanity, I will not talk of punishing the less fit. RegardsDL

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

We have always sought our fittest to reward then and advance humanity Doing so in a deliberate structured way throughout society IS eugenics. Right now society is a hodge podge of human traits being rewarded through $$$, influence, popularity on the internet, skill in finance, all regardless of your view of fitness. Not a lot of superior intellect in the top 1% but a lot of superior greed. Is this your definition of fit? So how do you change this? What actions do you take? And what do you do with the vast majority of humanity that does not fit your definition of fit?
I will not talk of punishing the less fit. Then don't address punishment. It's stupid anyway. But what of the rest of us? How do we unfit fit in your schemes?Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned!
