Alien experiment - eliminate half the population

- Chris Langan
- many healthy people aren't that smart, and many smart people aren't that healthy. Gaping logical hole here.
- can't disagree too much, most old people are in poor health regardless of wealth though.
- lolwut?

Not saying my logic is right...just my logic for choosing given those choices. Obviously there will be exception to the norm but statistically speaking I'm gonna bet:
- the bottom 50% poor will be less healthy
- it's been proven that good looking tall people tend to be more successful

If your logic isn't right, then it's not really logic.

- the bottom 50% poor will be less healthy

Yes, as a result of being poor. Eliminate the poorest half of the population and you still need a new poorest half, especially since wealth is relative.

- it's been proven that good looking tall people tend to be more successful

Again, because looks are relative...

Not say my logic is right to others, but I'm fine with it. It's a very interesting experiment the more I think about it. Being poor sucks.

But the new population will be better of than the previous, that's not relative. There are some components to every criteria in the poll that are non-relative to humans, I'm really sorry but I do not see your point.

This thread is so full of retards. We should eliminate them first.

Not in terms of wealth, inflation will take care of that. And in terms of beauty, it's a lose-lose. Everyone in the hot half instantly gets bumped down in relative beauty except for literally the most beautiful person on earth, and everyone in the ugly half gets killed.

Poorest, without question. That would immediately wipe out a lot of third world countries as well as worthless first world debtors. The need for petty labor might actually increase a little, as well. Plus, you take them out and you're getting rid of a lot of ugly and stupid as well.
