I wouldnt say that they where all of low IQ, maybe by today standards, but they did evolve. Smart people evolve, dumb people are the working horse of which smart people thrive. Now if we can just get over ourselfs and let us cage dumb people like chickens and such, it would be easier. Oh, wait, we have a prison system for that lol

haha sorry i made a mistake earlier. i knew dale carnegie's organisation could never be involved in eugenics. I was confusing andrew carnegies' institude with dale carnegies' intitude. they were distant cousin's that did not know of each other. There is something in IQ being hereditary I am sure, but that doesnt mean the less intellignet people has to die. if low IQ is something deserving of death, then the whole human race should have been wiped out during the stone ages.

life hasn't been that cruel to us. atleast we are not dead. Enjoy what you have while you are here. Leave survival of the fittest to the animal world. Space travel, automation of mundane jobs, removal of the current monetary system of debt, better health care, google governance, there are plenty to look forward to, for those who can cope with the next 3 years. I don't believe carnegie institude was involved in eugenics, they gave my mother chinese translations of Dale's 2 best books for free.

It doesn't really prove anything. If there are six horses in a race, and you have enough money to put it on all of them, then why not? You'll get repaid by the winners and have the oppourtunity to press for reimbursement from the defeated. It's simply sound economics.
mightywind5888 (January 1, 1970 at 11:59 am)
Right. Nature is probably going to die. 4.5 billion years, as far as we can tell, and she's on her last leg. Think outside your planet to the universe--unlimited resources, constant supply of solar energy, the ability for mankind to survive any earth disaster. Old mother nature can hold her own. We will continue to be the species that must adapt.

mightywind5888; I'll never adapt to a small-minded set of values. Nature won't adapt; it will retaliate, or it will die, and with it, the rest of life on Earth. Have fun adapting.
mightywind5888 (January 1, 1970 at 11:59 am)
Sounds like the weak gazel complaining that he will be eaten by the lion. Survival of the fittest isn't man-made. Get quick, adapt, or die.
