> I really, really hate that you're blowing my idea off: How long does it take before humans are aware that they are aware? How long before they notice that their best hunters are begot by their best hunters, and their smartest shamans beget smarter shamans? How long before they select for the prettiest girls?-Arranged marriages, which is part of your proposal, usually is ranking status, money, etc. Not IQ

> Consider Plato's republic. Have you considered how strongly it models Spartan society? Sparta's policy of infanticide turns noses to modern morality, but I hardly think that they were the first group of humans to engage in the practice.-The chinese are doing this now by sex. Same thing has gone on in India. If you are going to knock off stupid when do you recognize stupid. Not at birth but perhaps 7-10 year later. Hitler wanted to create aa master race, and had a program, but I don't see much evidence of it now. All the electricity from wind farms, not nuclear. And sort of fell for global warming hysteria. But, Merkel is obviously the brightest crayon in the EU box.-> When I said a couple years back that in order to infer a UI you first must be able to differentiate between human and nonhuman intelligence--this is EXACTLY what I had in mind.- The UI may be just like ours without the emotion. This is one area of possible difference, but we can understand the laws of physics, and unwrap the codes in biology, made by that UI. I think I can infer it from the evidence at hand.
