I think there is something to the low IQ thing!
I am in a location that gets infrequent snow, and we happened to get a good bit over the weekend. County offices closed, businesses closed, and schools are now going to be closed for the third day in a row.
Local Facebook and NextDoor groups are blowing up with people outraged at the decision to close schools tomorrow, even though most roads are perfectly fine. I've been driving around since Monday (I do have 4x4).
The outrage goes something like this:
"I can't believe they're closing schools again, the road in front of my house is totally clear! It's ridiculous! This is an outrage!"
Well ok, the roads in front of YOUR house may be clear, but when you get to the hilly and more rural areas of the county--where school buses still have to drive--those roads are very treacherous right now. A school bus drove off a hill and flip just a few years ago when it it hit a large patch of black ice going around a curve. This is not a theoretical issue.
There is just a really large contingent of people who just cannot think in "what ifs" or beyond their immediate "right now" situation. (And to be clear, if they were saying "the schools should have had alternative plans for dangerous school bus routes" I would agree! It's just the idiocy of "me me me, now now now" that is striking.)
No it doesn't, we shouldn't have non thinkers to begin with, they'll eventually grow in number and kill us.
There are jobs that need to get done, and always will, where thinking is a clear detriment.
Name one. I can't think of one job where not thinking is better than thinking the right way, and that includes jobs like "suicide bomber"
It's more like... Thinking too much could be detrimental. Consider worker bees. They just work and don't think about a year from now, or next week. Same with people. Maybe they can envision the weekend, but most only think about the immediate.
Those people are a threat to our survival.
The guy who holds the stop/go signs on roadworks, when the radio tells him, he flips it.
The distribution curve exists and needs to be accounted for. Denying its existence is a retarded strategy. You can't just wave your hands and make a society devoid of these individuals because more will keep spawning in until the end of time, even if you get a eugenics program off the ground.
I agree with the first half and question the second half. If we say, got rid of 90% of the people without inner monologues, what do you think the subsequent generation would be comprised of? Do you think after like five generations it would rebound back to 60-80%?
Regression to the mean. It would take a long time to change that distribution curve. I'm thinking it would be measured in centuries. A good 600 years at least before we can start to breath easier about letting up on the eugenics. That also assumes you start with a White population and not a bunch of third world animals.
So you don't think having enough mental capacity to consider positions you aren't is has much to do with genetic predispositions?
See my other comment about it taking centuries to start seeing results. Even then, you still have a distribution curve even if it shifts to the right. The retards may spawn in lower numbers but they'll still spawn.
