Quote by: BobbyO Germany was levelled as a result of the National Socialism. Positive aspects of this? Rockets? Do you think maybe that rocketry was coming anyways and that a peaceful Gewrmany would not have exploited such technology? Same for jet engines.

We must keep in mind the reason for freedom of speech is to increase our awareness and advance our consciousness through reasoning. It is vital that we remain aware, and what happened in Germany was not special to Hitler and the NAZI, but the result of advancing technology. We have two things going here. One is an accumulation of knowledge that increases our ability to control our reality. The other is the choices about what we want to control for.

I have a 1940's eugenics book written by an American doctor, that expresses the same desire to rid humanity of "defectives" as Hitler expressed, and Christians and Muslims continue to express when speaking of homosexuals, and each other. Eugenics is the study of perfecting the human species, and many approach this from a racist point of view. For God's sake, keep this in the light of day, by respecting the need for freedom of speech, and the power of reason. Because if we don't, we can distort our understanding of history and the human potential for evil. The subject does not stay in the past, but is with us today.

Human Species Projected to Split in Two « T’ings ‘n Times The BBC reports that evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics predicts that in the future, humanity will split into a “genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass.” According to Curry, The human race would peak in the year 3000—before a decline due to dependence on technology. People would become choosier about their sexual partners, causing humanity to divide into sub-species. The descendants of the genetic upper class would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative and a far cry from the ‘underclass’ humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures.”
