Reply #3: I realize some will think this eugenics or subjugation... [View All]

But if you read the article closely, what they're advising is getting rid of aggressive animals to make the rest happier.
The premise is that the aggressive ones hurt the group by not only denying the lowest ones food, but also overeating themselves and wasting resources that could be better distributed among the rest.
By their account, it would only take two generations of ridding the world of aggressive humans to give us hundreds of generations of peace, and after all, isn't peace the objective of the human race? Are we willing to take the measures necessary to achieve it? It could be as easy as sidetracking aggressive individuals at a young age and making sure they do not reproduce, or as complex as a series of games where the most aggressive ones die.
Just wondering.
