I'm sure it will be interesting.
No doubt.
But you are missing a point in your teeth-and-claw analysis, Mq, which I feel compelled to bring up.
We are also programmed via DNA to be charitable, take care of the lame and otherwise assist the unfortunate who, unlike me [!], are not blessed with spectacular looks, lots of sex appeal, a terrific physical constitution, high IQ and otherwise superior DNA. And this is because genetic mutations can happen anywhere, at anytime, serendipitously [fine word, that].
Thus, we all carry within us potential though our actual circumstances might not be much of which to be proud. As a race, we therefore need for our survival to maintain as much diverse DNA as possible in order that mutations can take place. Now, not all mutations will be like the one which gave the Ashkenazi superior IQs, but one never knows since mutations are random. Thus, the need to maintain the diversity of DNA, which leads ineluctably to charity and compassion. Any group that denies this impulse is self-selecting for failure, especially if it goes to the other end of the continuum and decides that group x, y or z needs to be destroyed as a race.
I can take this argument to headhacking Wahabbis and self-destructing Palestinians, point out that their lack of charity vis-a-vis Israel is ultimately against their tribe's self interest, but I don't think I'd get anywhere and might actually end up holding my bloody and severed head in my lap.
It's a lot more complex than simple breeding, something I think women, or some of them, anyway, know in their bones as they are generally much more kind and charitable than we are. |
