Small realisation

Here's the irony of the bit (pertaining to the last post): Those that are aware of the population issues and consider Eugenics are generally the ones that don't reproduce en masse. Thus, the problem is snow-balling.

I've said to myself, "Too many people here, I shouldn't add to the problem." but by not reproducing, those that are the cause of the problem would be the only ones left. Classic chicken-and-egg problem.

So I think I'll form my Eugenics society in conjunction with my pocket of isolated humanity ('bunker'). The thing that really gets me about this whole train of thought, however, is how many people would be excluded from the race to create Kahn.

I wouldn't be selected by my own committee, for instance -- to unfocused.

Also, I'm concerned about what the size of the group would need to be to be A) sustainable and B) not inbred. I'll leave that to the biologists though.

Thought I'd add this: If you have not seen the movie 'Gattica' yet, please do so. It will set the table for debate. Cheers.
