Replace everyone with a single AI hive mind Or, just like, better education. Education can be made really powerful in 100 years. There is enormous potential for improving the edication system. We are nowhere maxed out there.

1) Who says society's intelligence is decreasing? 2) If you want to increase intelligence this could be done through genetic engineering in the future as an add-on rather than as preventing people from reproducing. In the future it will be possible to invent a virus that will reprogram a human's DNA to increase baseline intelligence. This virus could be injected in the womb.

Also, your scheme assumes that the people administering this system are not corrupt, but they definitely will be. Can you imagine Trump, Putin, Jinping, Modi, Bolsonaro, Netanyahu, or Musk administering your scheme? Because it will be someone like that. When a corrupt person administers this system he will sterilize all his ideological opponents and breed all his idiotic supporters and corrupt friends. Because he will define intelligence as whatever serves his personal survival agenda. Look at how Musk administers X. That's how he would administer your eugenics program.

What does this mean? He will be interviewing people? I think not. But then how is this different from his YT channel? -
Those are very special situations. Tolle only got there by luck, because Oprah give him millions in free marketing. Of course you can run a business on the side and make millions. You could operate a chain of dildo stores.

That's exacty what Islam is. You can see how that turned out. Living well cannot be an ideology. Because goodness is consciousness and ideology is evil. What soceity needs is not ideology but much deeper education that guides people into epistemology and psychological mastery. High development cannot be reached through ideology. -
The biggest problem is that you are not considering how badly this scheme could backfire. You assume intelligence is a singular well-defined and quantifiable thing, but in practice it isn't. There are many different kinds and a healthy society needs that diversity, otherwise you will breed a race of people who all think in the same way and have the same blindspots and weaknesses. Your simplistic IQ test will screen out many great and talented people and include many immoral and egoticstical people. And in practice administrating this would be a nightmare. It's needlessly coersive. Soceity needs many people who are not too intelligent to do basic manual work. Remember, most people are not too intelligent so they will fight back and rebel against your coersion of them by "elites". That's already happening now. Imagine how bad it would get if you threatened to sterilize all the MAGA. Screwing with the genetic diversity of the human species could backfire badly in ways you cannot foresee because you don't understand the insane complexity of genetic ecology.

If you listened carefully there was a powerful homework contemplative assignment in this episode that would benefit you greatly and it's not so easy or obvious. This series gives you a lot to work on.

Slipped my mind. -
Breaking News: Police shoot Pizzagate gunman dead at traffic stop. https://apnews.com/article/pizzagate-gunman-dead-police-shooting-north-carolina-81f0383fb55587350576b8265b7b5dd5 That video should come out soon.

Sorry to hear that. I suggest you keep looking for jobs and think outside the box. Apply to more kinds of jobs until you find something that suits you. There are so many strange jobs out there. Something will come your way if you put in the effort to do deep research and apply diligently. Don't give up hope.

So much that it would take hours to write it all out.

There is no meaningful answer to such questions.

This is so vague and simple that I don't have a response.
-
Not necessarily. You could be thinking through some important issue. Thinking deeply is important. There are times to think and times to not think.
-
It is but that is not a serious understanding of Consciousness. It's a silly human reduction by people who have no real comprehension of Consciousness.

Post the craziest court videos here.

They are not mentally ill. They are just deluded with ideology and entitlement. They want to believe that the laws apply to everyone else but them. So yeah, I got scorn for such people.
-
Quite the opposite. Snowflake liberals who coddle criminals are why we got Trump. There is value to law and order, evenly applied.
-
The collosal arrogance, entitlement, and disrespect of police by these people is gross and deserves punishment.

I tried Burts Bees and it's got bad flavors. Finding unflavored ones is hard. I bought several Burts Bees and threw them away out of frustration because they had gross flavors that clung to my lips.

The real concern is that he may run for President after Trump. -
In practice most of those charges get dismissed unless they are egregious. https://www.actualized.org/insights/moorish-paper-terrorists

All these libertarians do that. Their whole worldview just revolves around their personal freedom and gain. That's why it's immature.
