How can you state that you don't support eugenics, but you want to take a set of people and put them in a more hostile environment. That is going to kill off people, in the set you defined, which is eugenics. Your idea about there being enough societies that people can find one that works for them has some merit, but I don't see how that fits with you choosing another group and moving them to an area with less resources. That's not people choosing a society that works for them, that's conquest and exile
- alexanderstears 9y agoIf you think taking away resources (which people are not entitled to) is tantamount to murder, then every regime that collects taxes is murderous. Your definition of 'killing people off' is asinine and lacks nuance. I'm not strong enough take your points seriously, so allow me to take them to absurd conclusions: Right now, you're taking oxygen out of the air and depositing CO2. Right now, people are dying from polluted air and lack of oxygen, are you responsible for their deaths?
- lovich 9y agoI think there's a pretty good argument that if you create pollution you're responsible, at least in part, for people who die early because of it. I also think you could argue that taxing people, and providing no benefit in return, is murderous. That benefit part is important though, which I don't see your system providing by just removing people. But let's ignore all that for a moment and just say we go ahead with your system. Why are other groups moved to Australia, Mars, etc but you and whatever group you've decided you belong to get to stay where you are? What makes these other people move, because you asked? Paid? Forced? I am legitimately curious as to how your plan would work
