Thanks for taking the time to actually do a little research.

Indeed, Eugenic superiorty is what is actually being discussed here. But as in Gattica, there is nothing more superior than the will to succeed. Even the all star paraplegic recognized that.
Sure. To design and develope a super human race both mentally, spiritually and physically to guide and lead the rest of society. Ideally this would be a beneficient and benevolant group of demigods who's whole purpose would be to look out for and map out a near perfect future for mankind. In reality however we have found that with super men in the past also came super flaws in their character.I do not see how we are discussing 'eugenic superiority', perhaps you may like to expand that statement for me..?
Thanks

There can never be a superior man, in a world of men...only mediocre men who rise to the occasion of superiority for a moment. Can not serve two masters. Hence God is superior, or man is...Sorry, I still don't exactly see were you are going with this one, to be honest.
Apologies again.

That is the bottom line. And the day that man thinks he is superior to God, is the day of reckoning...

Ah.
I see.
You are a theist.
End of this particular coverstion then, no offence.
The only problem I have with that is that "The Collective" that leads individuals not part of the Collective is itself composed of individuals. The people who are part of this Collective will have authority stamped into their identity. Are they special because everybody calls them special or because they really are special? The point here is not that one individual should not have authority or be more special than another, but that there shouldn't need to be a "special entity" for recognising one's "special identity" if one is intrinsically and inherently special.
It is not about elistism based on imherited wealth, status, or influence, but one based only on placing the most intelligent creatives in charge, instead of pesudo religous freaks that we see in the US or Iran. Time after time, democracy has brought only war and poverty. It has a poor record, and were that not so, then of course, there would be no need to seek anything else.
People will either notice your special qualities, or they may not. If they do, they should respect and appreciate you for who you are as a person, what you live for, work for, have worked for, and died and bled for. If they don't see this in you, then let it be. Nobody is so important that when their special identity is not recognised they should lash out and or fly into a pompous and snobbish outburst.
Again, it has nothing to do with snobbery, that is what we have now, with monarhcies, for example!
Part of the testing would in theory compose of measuring their altusitic intent, as that is a form of intelligence.
And this would be factored in.
Why not just share the world, your life's journey and your life experiences with everyone else? In that sense you are special in the sense of being unique. You have authority and insight into your own uniqueness. You are an expert on you. You are enlightened about you and are qualified to talk about you. As long as you remember that your unique identity is really a part of the collective identity of the human race, all could be well. If you want to give advice to others, it's only from what you've learnt and experienced in life.
As applies to all, I guess. Yet many worthy things have been achieved bt this method, have they not..?
If we all shared, the world might well be closer to the ideals even if it isn't apparent. Yet, the ideals would be achieved because sharing would become part of the instrinsic identity of the collective of all human beings, just as your personality forms the instrinsic identity of you as a person.
Would not disagreee with any of that, altjough you would need a system to make it happen...?
No need for banners and slogans. We just need to be ourselves. Be real people.
Totally agree
We don't even have to argue about it or promote the idea. We all know it was always what we were supposed to do. We all understand what needs to be done. It's all down-to-earth and simple. Just share. So the idea is for us to just do it. No special advertisements.
Indeed.
It's a nameless agenda because it's an agenda that doesn't need a name. Nobody can brag or boast about it. It's a part of us all.

Government was not to be driven by mediocrity.
