    Hi all,

    I want to hear your opinions on this little mind experiment. I have red the book once (science fiction) in which humans are a part of transgalactic alliance. The main character spends time with an alien and finds out the secret of those aliens. It turns out, that at the certain age, females of that alien race lose their intelligence and become animals only good for mating. The males of that species felt ashamed and angry for it, but couldn’t do anything to change it and they kept it in secret from any other alien race.

    So I would ask you, if it turned out in the future, that part of our species ( be it males or females) are better in some way and the other half are only slowing the progress of species down, what would you chose:

    to leave those incapable behind to their own devices and rush to the future, or

    to slow the pace of the faster ones and be as fast as the slowest one?

    I would love to read answers and reasons way you chose one or the other.

    My vote is: to leave those incapable behind to their own devices and rush to the future …

    Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

    idiocracy was a good movie, if that’s truly our future I only disagree with how it will come to being. Movie showed us that stupid people were f~~~ing irresponsibly while smart ones were delaying such important life choices and this is how idiocracy was born. The thing is that those stupid ones were living out of welfare, and most money to welfare came from smart people working, if stupid overpopulates the smart ones they would run out of welfare money and food tickets 🙂

    I have read a sci-fi novel were humans created machines which took care of every human need and without the external force to fight for survival slowly human race became retards (somehow during this deevoliution lost 1 pair of chromosome). Or even more possible is matrix type ending, there we all connected to machines and our brain gets stimulation directly from it, always feeling pleasure and never thinking hardly 🙂

    What would I vote well in the story example you gave is the decline of female intelligent inevitable and unpreventable? If yes than I would say

    <span style=”font-family: ‘Open Sans’, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; background-color: #fbfbfb;”>leave those incapable behind to their own devices and rush to the future</span>

    However if they could catch up then I say let them try but don’t feel obligated to wait if compromises your own well being.  I don’t see life as a race/competition so beating someone or leaving someone behind in my dust isn’t how I think.
