Elitist Incest: The Bell Curve of Culture and the Club of Rome 11 comments

17 Feb 2011 @ 15:42, by Max Sandor The Rio Experiment: - ASSIGN a level of 'cultural quality' to members of a group of people - ELIMINATE a predetermined number/percentage of people from the group - EXAMINE the distribution of 'cultural quality' in the REMAINING group The first Rio Experiment was done in Rio de Janeiro on the 13th of February 2011 with a group of less than 20 people using Skywork/Kraftwerk and is therefore very limited in its prognostic accuracy. Another, much larger, experiment is planned next month, same location. The name 'Rio Experiment' was chosen not just because of the city where the first such experiment was performed but also because of the 1976 publication "RIO: Reshaping the International Order" which emerged from the activity known as the 'Club of Rome' that came to the 'result' that mankind should limit (or kill-off) the vast majority of its people. The preliminary results of the first Rio-Experiment: "THE DISTRIBUTION OF CULTURAL QUALITY WILL MIRROR INTO ANY NEW SUBSET CREATED BY CUTTING THE NUMBER OF MEMBERS OF THE ORIGINAL GROUP" This means, the QUALITY or EXCELLENCE of a civilization is NOT only represented by a small elitist group BUT BY THE ENTIRE CIVILIZATION INCLUDING ITS LOWER STRATAS!!! If verified, the conclusion is that RACISM and ELITISM are suicidal for civilizations. For example, the negative qualities of the lower stratas of an existing society are mirrored into the elitist subgroup the moment the lower stratas are being removed. Likewise, the POSITIVE qualities will be limited to distribution of the original culture. In numbers, assuming we have a group of 100 people and 20 of them have a 'superior' culture; if we now remove the 80 persons with 'lower' culture from the group, the remaining group of 20 will deteriorate over time (function yet to be determined) and go towards a level of 20%, just like in the original culture. In the end the NEW group will have only 4 (four) persons with 'superior' culture. Again, the EXCELLENCE of a culture will be destroyed if the 'lower' basis is being removed. We could call this 'Elitist Incest'... The people from the Club of Rome, whatever their TRUE motives were, should come together and think about it: REMOVAL OF THE LOWER LEVELS OF SOCIETY WILL DEGRADE THE SOCIETY OF THE FUTURE. ---------------------------------------- Addendum after first feedback: Ed Dawson's formulation: "A society is a hologram in which all aspects are found in any smaller part of the hologram. So not only the lower aspects of a society will appear in its higher strata if the lower are removed, but conversely if you remove the higher strata they will regrow from the lower."
