it's not really about the fact that they're higher-breeding. that's incidental as a result of their being fitter for survival. higher consciousness is a maladaptation. a human that is born, lives its whole life as a tribalistic nonentity, farts out some copies of itself, raises them to competency, then dies, is both far more likely to pass on its genes and far better for society and thus the rest of the species around it than somebody who does a lot of thinking. you're a three-winged honeybee

just because you are well-read and were fortunate enough to receive a somewhat effective education does not make you superior to the people who are not and did not. also, most people dont get deeply involved in political theory, history, and politics because theyre too busy providing for themselves and involving themselves in family, friends, and community. finally, even if your subjective estimation of your own intelligence relative to others is in fact tethered to some semblance of truth, "being intelligent" does not make you superior, and, hell, neither does being a socialist.
your values and "value" are mostly determined by outside forces, particularly in your youth. your introvert/introspective personality (which, in part, probably led to your (over-) educated status) does not make you superior; by many measures, it makes you inferior.
until next year,

Or are you just the other real human beings I have justifiably targeted with my hatred, acknowledging your own vile and irreversible failings internally but unable to rhetorically account for them in an otherwise free and equal deliberative discourse, doomed forever to walk the earth and live your gay little shitty lives without any kind of piercing analysis concerning yourselves and your place in the greater scheme of things, a waking nightmare of unrealized potential mirroring the overarching and undeniable abject failure of even the most laudable cancerous calcified cryptid among you, the sower of your own richly besequined tapestry of failure? What gives?
find a way to say this without the queer bashing, you redneck
the future society will be management on top, followed by product, then engineering, then sales/marketing, and finally the simple laborers who do things like drive your uber.

robots are inherently communist so this is good news
