Not to trespass upon the content, nor now-cliché use of, “Brave New World”, but all the collegiate and techie innuendo swirling out there about genetics, end-game Socialist society, an eventual right-gened Master population of diverse ethnic makeup, and men and women looking to their own genders for companionship with crossover occurring only via future labs screening specimens for “ubermensch quality” to be raised by State-dependent mothers rather than families (that some future generation will arise therefrom, free of “bad genetic vices and superstitions”, making big bucks in empowered freedom and returning the USA to greatness)…well, such things do sound as if SOME kind of “gene-pruning for success” is used as the excuse for extending debt beyond conscious intentions anyone will be able to meet it.

If so, then indeed do listen to those who have a degree…especially the ones who teach such exact concepts in modern schools and universities.

Consider “Born Entrepreneurs, Born Leaders: How Your Genes Affect Your Work Life”, by Scott Shane (A. Malachi Mixon III Professor of Entrepreneurial Studies, Case Western Reserve University), ©2010 Oxford University Press, ISBN 978-0-19-537342-4.

At page 188, sentences 7-9, Shane says: “But, in the real world, American businesses need to contend with entities from all over the globe. What should we do if companies in other countries don’t have the same compunction about genetic testing that we do? (Think Singapore here, whose founding president, Lee Kuan Yew, is a big believer in selective breeding and has encouraged well-educated, professional Singaporeans to have children together.)”.

I’m almost 51 years old, and for most of my life Lee Kuan Yew was the autocratic Socialist ruler of Singapore under its one-party system; a few years ago, after an ‘election’, Lee Kuan Yew Junior took over as President, and ever since the Senior Yew sits as “Minister Mentor” of the government. Next to the size of the USA, Singapore is a postage stamp; as example (http://www.thegovmonitor.com/world_news/asia/singapore-sees-sustainable-development-and-public-housing-as-priority-22469.html ) shows, Singapore has been rebuilt from ethnic neighborhoods into government-owned housing, and the State controls all industry plus job opportunities; as example (http://www.singapore-window.org/sw03/030916sj.htm ) shows, to this day, hardly the manifest majority of people in Singapore enjoy personal empowerment and autonomous relation with their government.

How much longer will it be before enough “ubermenschen” children are grown in Singapore, that managing away of repeated cycles of once-young but now-aging parents, and lack of free enterprise or choice of parenting partners, are no longer required as the “wellspring” of an economy only a few may step up into? 

If anyone today at the ground floor of re-defining USA social roles and culture should one day find themselves “not having or producing the right stuff” all of a sudden as defined by ever-shifting needs of a property/industry subsuming government, or are told they’re now too infirm or ill to play, they might finally get Professor Shane’s caution at page 98, sentences 13-14 of his cited book:”Influence is an important word here. Your genes matter, but so do where you work, how you were raised, your education, and a variety of other factors.”; a lament sounded by too many onetime eugenics boosters in eras from Darwin through Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao, and into present times.
