bascule Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 what if all people were as intelligent as each other? Then they'd probably get along better, but with any fixed intelligence level across the entire population comes a whole set of problems that are solved by being a society of people with different intelligence levels. (not to sound like a royal asshole here, but, e.g. stupider people are less bored with a repetitive job) As another example, if we were to eliminate everyone from the populations except the super-geeky, then we'd probably have a way higher incidence of autism. If we had a population of people with only Aspergers/Autism, they may possess extensive mental abilities, but have considerable problems forming relationships with each other and reproducing. If we had a society comprised completely of idiots, well, uhh... we'd also have problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
