The only reason stupid people would make stupid babies is either by birth defects which would render the child mentally handicap or a poor upbringing and lack of education...otherwise your agrument is complete nonsense no matter how you try and put i

The technology we have today is all brought to you by the glorious gift of oil and other fossil fuels.  They will deplete.

Whether it's genetics or upbringing is somewhat irrelevant




I'm going to take you out of context a bit and argue it does matter. If the ability to develop intelligence dissolves due to lower functioning brains having a genetic advantage due to the willingness to reproduce necessity being the mother invention will become irrelevant. Mankind will no longer be able to think its way out of problems like disintegrating nuclear reactors, for example.

I don't mind.. I tend to miss little things here and there that would make a huge difference in my responses, it gets worse as it gets closer to bed time.

Yeah but a lower functioning brain doesn't necessarily correlate to intelligence. Considering there is a billion different things that can change how the brain functions.

Not to mention that quite a few things in genetics is seemingly random.. Stupid person + Other stupid person making a baby doesn't mean that baby will = stupid.

I find it hard to imagine that the performance of an organ as complex as the brain would be completely unaffected by genetic variation. If intelligence is seen in terms of neuroplasticity, of the brain's capacity to quickly adapt to changes in circumstance, genetics would be more important than upbringing. But if it's in terms of knowing your ABC's, then sure, I concede your point.

I was responding to this. I was trying to say exactly what you said. I guess I didn't do a good enough job.

That's dead on. And despite what people want to pretend, there's no energy source that we're anywhere close to harvesting that can replace fossil fuels. The assumptions that we're just going to pull something out of our asses is wishful thinking. No oil equals unprecedented human death. Unavoidable.

You think the terrestrial gravy train will come to a halt before we start mining hydrocarbons from asteroids? AFAIK the global garbage fire of Earth's petroleum alone has only begun.

Exactly, that is mainly what I've noticed about our genetics.. Certainly the mother and father play a part in a new born's intelligence or lack thereof. But it's not always the same and is influenced by a ton of other factors, and like I said some seeming to be complete happenstance.

If you think that "Republican" meant the same thing in the 1860's as it does today, well, I'm not sure why you act like you can debate politics.

Yeah..Real intelligent to assume that we are nowhere near being able to use any alternative fuel.

It's not like we've ever had someone come along in one lifetime and completely change the way the world functions or anything. :cookiemonster:

I think the species will be extinct long before we ever mine an asteroid.  And there is every indication that we have reached peak oil or will reach peak oil within the next decade or two.  The party's gonna wind down sooner than later.

Quality education and good upbringing doesn't alter DNA encoding.

It's not just fuel, it's materials. You'd be surprised at how much of what you eat, drink, and own was made at least in part from oil.
