Give a handful of people in each region of a country permission to kill people they feel aren't worthy on sight.Xpwn3ntial said:As we have all known for quite some time, the world is overrun by idiots, religious zealots, and lunatic politicians, most belonging to more than one group at a time.
So, how do we cut down the population of the less-than-adequately intelligent people?
These could be anything from better education to the classic "Kill with fire" method.
For a little added fun, how would you determine who is or is not intelligent in the world today?
Remember, intelligence is not something that is easily determined, and killing a large population has major ramifications that you may not consider immediately.
See? That's intellgence.Beldaros said:Every human being is an idiot.
Every Human being is a genius.
We judge people's intelligence based on how much their beliefs fall within our own.
Any war in history is somebody trying to rid the world of stupid people.
War is stupid.
Don't suffer fools gladly? Well then you are a fool.
A fool believes himself wise but a wiseman knows he is a fool.
This is a really ignorant thread.
As for my way. Let time and events run thier course.
This is a pretty reasonable argument.Jabberwock xeno said:NOTE: excuse the spelling.
Firstly, IQ is only a rough estimate, and it doesn't always express intellegence, it may simply indicate one's knowlage on certian parts of the test.
secondly, intellgence does not nessacrly mean smartness or knowaldge, there is really know good measurble way to difine intellgence. intellgence may be problem solving skills, it may be the abillty to comprhend abstract concepts etc. indiuvaily, THOSE aspects can be measured, but there are so many diffrent factors or qualtlys seen as "intellgent".
Third, just because someone has a genetic or otherwise dissaabilty, does not mean theyu are not intellgent. I for example, have a neurological disorder (A certian type of autisim), and I'd say that if anything, makes me MORE intellgent.
Now that I have got that out of the way, I can contribute. educatiton can only do so much. the things that I belive that make people "not intellgent" are these factors:
- bias
- unwillgness to see things from a diffrent point of view
- not thinking beyond soicitial, cultiral, ethical etc standerds or rules
and so on. I have a good example, but it involves relgion and science, so please read this with an open mind:
For example, one thing that contally baffles me is how hyper-relgious people will not execpt evolution at all, and how ultra science... uh... people *selffacepalm* refuse to accept any fort of relgoius explanation. There is nothing in the bible/torah/koran that goes aganist the theory of evolution. likewise, there is nothing in science that indicates the absence of reliogious enitiys. evolution just says that if a fish is born with a defect that makes it more likly to survive, it will be more kiley to pass that defect to it's offspring. eventaully, the defect will be a standerd trait of the species. that's commen sense, it'd be nearly impossble for that NOT to happen without something purposly affecting the process. why can't anyone think that maybe god created the universe etc etc, and evoultion took place after the first living benings were created? I do not nessarcly think that, but you get the idea.
I can go on on diffrent examples and such, but I'm getting bored.
So if they disagree with you they are stupid? hmmmm...Uber Evil said:Xpwn3ntial said:For a little added fun, how would you determine who is or is not intelligent in the world today?Ask them if the bible is real?Er... Ask them how to pronounce nuclear. Or ask them something about politics, like if socialism is bad or good, or if videogames poison children and turn them into murdering psychopaths?.
Sir I wholeheartedly agree with you.Internet Kraken said:You can't. Intelligence is not an easy thing to measure. Many people excel in certain areas of study, but fail others. The skills you would associate with intelligence could mean nothing to another person. You probably think your smart, but I guarantee someone's definition of intelligence disagrees. For example, I think it's stupid to classify people based on intelligence, and even dumber to try and kill people because of it. What you are suggesting is not an intelligent idea, at least to me.Xpwn3ntial said:For a little added fun, how would you determine who is or is not intelligent in the world today?
And I don't think we should ever kill somebody because of intelligence, You don't have to be a genius to contribute to society. Whether you like it or not, the people you brand as unintelligent are probably still serving society in some way.
Someone's opinion on socialism is subjective. Besides, you're suggesting that a person is only intelligent if they care about politics.Uber Evil said:Or ask them something about politics, like if socialism is bad or good
Yes because genetics automatically determines how smart someone will be. It has nothing to do with the quality of their education or their living conditions.CarbonEagle said:Its Easy... Eugenics. Stupid people or people with genetic deficiencies aren't allowed to make offspring. Its like forced evolution.
Also, how come the OP didn't even answer his own question? It's his goddamn thread.
