I find that mentality very
disturbing.
If you think about it, most
of our forefathers are uneducated from China and yet they breed
scholars and successful men & women.
Are we now some kind of
pedigree breeding farm -_-“
I'm not sure if that's entirely correct.
true, every now and then you'd have a very bright spark from
some unexpected quarter, or you have some really dumb kids from
very bright parents, but the general rule still holds ... bright
parents, bright kids.
Of course, we must not make the mistake of confusing education
with intelligence, but I meant this from another perspective. A
smart chap need not be educated, but a highly educated chap is
quite likely not stupid. I mean, as an example, how stupid can a
person be if he or she's got a degree in say, physics or maths
?
I suspect many of the very bright kids who were born to
relatively uneducated parents, actually have very bright parents in
the first place, the parents just didn't had the chance for more
education. Of course, intelligence is really a function of both
genes and the environment, that makes for interesting social and
biological dynamics. Life throws up a curve ball every now and
then, that makes for mutation and change, a healthy system.
true, I acknowledge that this topic is very disturbing to think
of, but these are actually instinctive facts. Imagine dog breeding
for example ... you select certain physical traits you want, and
you put the dogs together and breed them. You'd expect the
resulting pupsies, at least some of them to have the traits you
wanted eh ? So why wouldn't two very bright sparks, who get
together and marry, have very bright kids in turn ?
