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

the sad fact is that most of us here are superior to the vast majority of the human race lol

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,


the noble savage class

its still capitalism and capital would still need some human labor to exploit to generate surplus value. granted, robots would be another huge technological breakthrough that would greatly increase productivity but capitalism would still be limited by its contradictions

if anything, it would probably proletaritarize a greater segment of the population as work becomes even more superfluous than it is currently

I mean, are you all just shut-ins who have only a passing interaction with other real human beings? 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

manual human labor is extremely cheap.

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.
