Leaders
must hold
everybody responsible for their behavior
Every culture has evolved
to give us what we want, and we want to avoid
taking responsibility for our problems, so every culture allows
us to blame our problems on:
|
1) |
Nonsensical concepts, such
as poverty, sexism, racism, anti-Semitism, white privilege, and lack of
opportunities. |
|
2)
|
Other people,
such as drug dealers, foreign nations, rival political parties, and our
parents.
|
Slums are
miserable because
of the people
who live there.
|
The people who refuse to accept responsibility for their behavior
create idiotic theories to
explain the problems in their personal life, and the problems of
society. As a result their solutions to problems fail continuously.
For example, they believe that slums are miserable places to live
because of poverty, white privilege, ignorance, lack of opportunities,
bad parenting, divorced parents, bad luck,
racism, or discrimination.
Their solution is to provide
the people in the slums with money, educational materials, college
scholarships, jobs, welfare, or some other type
of handout,
but none of those methods
improve the slums. The reason is because the people in the slums are
behaving badly because of their mind's
decisions.
The people in the slums of the USA and Europe are actually extremely wealthy compared to our
ancestors. They have wealth that is beyond what anybody a few centuries
ago had imagined, such as electricity, refrigerators, bicycles,
antibiotics, bathrooms, and cell phones. They also have access to
libraries and the Internet, which provides them with educational opportunities that none
of our ancestors had. They have access to food markets that provide
them with food from around the world, and every day of the year.
Modern
leaders must understand genetics
Slums are not
miserable
because of poverty, ignorance, or discrimination. They are
miserable because the people who
live in the slums are genetically inferior
to the people in other
neighborhoods. The genetic
characteristics of people determine whether a neighborhood is a
slum or a wonderful place to
live.
If we were to replace all of the people in a slum neighborhood with
people
who have genetically superior minds,
the neighborhood would remain just as densely populated, but it would
slowly be transformed into a wonderful
neighborhood.
The reason is because those
higher-quality people would spend more of their time on useful
activities, and less time on alcohol, drugs, television, fights, and
gambling.
Those higher-quality people would do a better job of
taking care of their home, clothing, yard, and other possessions. They
would also treat one another in a better manner. Their children would
do better in school, have fewer fights, and
do more chores at their home.
There would be
noticeably less crime, litter, graffiti,
alcoholism,
drug addiction, gambling, fist fights, unwanted pregnancies, and
venereal disease. Their grooming would also be superior.
Many
anti-genetic people are hypocrites
Many, possibly most, of the
people who
insist that genetics do not determine
our intelligence, personality, honesty, or other characteristics are hypocrites
because if they truly believed that genetics was irrelevant, then they would not care
about the mental qualities, race, physical
characteristics, or health of the parents that they were adopting
children from, or the people who were providing them with
sperm and eggs.
They would be willing to let the patients in mental hospitals provide
sperm and egg for infertile couples, and provide children for adoption.
Criminals have a difficult time making a living after they get released
from jail, so they would be willing to let criminals provide sperm,
eggs, and children. Homeless people and other unemployed people would
also be allowed to make some money by providing sperm, eggs, and
children.
Although there might be some people who are so convinced that genetics
is nonsense that they will accept sperm, eggs, and children from
lunatics, retards, and criminals, many people are so concerned about
the issue that there are documents on the Internet that provide advice
on choosing a sperm donor. For example, the WebMD "editorial
contributors" wrote this
document to advise us to consider such questions as:
"Do you want a donor who was a
certain IQ or artistic aptitude?"
That question implies that genetics determines a person's intelligence
and
artistic abilities, which is a concept that every culture is officially
denying.
The hypocrisy with genetics is similar to the hypocrisy of the
religious people
who believe
in heaven only
while they are healthy, but when they or their children are
sick or injured, they lose their faith in heaven and want scientists,
doctors,
nurses, and other people to put a tremendous amount of time and effort
into preventing them from going to heaven.
Some religious people are now using the AI software to create videos to
show us what heaven
might look like, such as the image below from this video.
Another religious man
created this
video to provide us with a:
Biblically Accurate Description of
Heaven and What We'll Do There
The religious people
promote heaven only
when they are healthy, and
when they become concerned about dying, they become terrified at
the thought of going to that wonderful paradise.
However, their minds are so crude
that they cannot notice and/or acknowledge that they are hypocrites for believing in heaven
while being frightened of death.
Animals
are hypocritical for a reason.
Our mind is hypocritical
because that was a necessary quality for animals. An animal brain
evolved to win the battles for
life and reproduction. An animal brain
was designed to do anything it
can think of in order to win. An
animal will deceive, intimidate, kill, and steal in order to win. An
animal mind it does not care if what it is doing today is contradictory
to what it did yesterday.
The human brain is just a modification of an ape brain. We are just
another species of animal with a brain that was designed for survival
and reproduction. Our brain was not designed
to explore or understand the universe. Our brain is not a
scientific instrument. It doesn't care about reality or hypocrisy. It
cares
only
about achieving its goals.
One of the reasons that humans became the dominant animal is because we
developed a certain ability to control our cravings and work together
in a team for the benefit of the team, but we have not fully
evolved for our modern era. We are still fighting one another for
status, material items, land,
food, and a spouse.
Although we are no longer as selfish and dishonest as the animals, a
significant percentage of the human population is involved with
cheating of some type, such as stealing from their
employers, lying for insurance
benefits, and shoplifting.
Even though most people are committing crimes that are "trivial", it
causes citizens and organizations to waste
a tremendous amount of labor
and resources on security devices, security software, court cases,
security guards, passwords, and crime investigations. Our lives would
be significantly more relaxed and pleasant if we didn't have any crime. Our cities would also
become more attractive because we would not need crime prevention
devices anywhere, or security guards.
We are selfish, violent, and hypocritical because our mind has been
designed to find a way to achieve our goals, and our mind has no
concern for how
we achieve
our goals. Our mind does not care if
what we do "makes sense", or if we hurt somebody, or if our behavior
conflicts with some of our previous beliefs or actions.
An animal becomes angry when another animal takes his food,
but he will not
hesitate to take food away from other animals. Animals
routinely
treat one another in a manner that they do not want to be treated, but
no animal cares about that selfishness and hypocrisy.
Since each of us is genetically unique, and has slightly different
information in our minds, some of us are more selfish and hypocritical
than others. Some people are so similar to animals that they will do
almost " whatever
it takes" to achieve their goals.
Our ignorance and our emotions causes us to believe in a concept when
we benefit
by believing in it, and to deny that concept when it is more
beneficial to deny it. This results in us frequently doing
and saying things that are hypocritical, selfish, irrational, or cruel.
An example
of our hypocrisy that was mentioned earlier is that the religious
people believe in heaven only when they they are healthy, and they feel
superior to the heathens, but when they are dying, they abandon those
beliefs and want
the heathens to
help them avoid going to heaven.
They have no awareness or embarrassment of their hypocrisy.
Likewise, the Jews believe in genetics when they want to boast
that they are the superior race, but when they want to claim that all
people are equal, they promote the
belief that we are like a piece of clay that molds itself to the
environment. They then explain that their superiority is due to their
superior culture that
encourages education,
honesty, and generosity.
In order to
provide ourselves with better leadership, we must pass
judgment on which of us are the least
hypocritical and selfish.
This could
be described as passing judgment on the "evolutionary state"
of a person's mind.
We need to determine who among us has a mind that is more similar to a prehistoric savage,
and who has a more advanced mind.
This is difficult to do because each of us is a mixture
of primitive and advanced characteristics, but by eliminating secrecy
and maintaining a social credit system that judges
us by a variety of criteria, we will be able to make sensible decisions
about who qualifies for an influential position.
Leaders must
understand that humans
are apes
In order for us to be
responsible for our behavior, we must understand that our behavior
is the result
of
our
brain's decisions. The environment is an influence over
us, but it cannot control us.
We will never get sensible leadership from people who believe that the
human mind is like a piece of clay that molds itself to the environment
because those people blame our problems on environmental
concepts, such as
poverty, drug dealers, or white privilege. Likewise, religious people
blame bad behavior on nonsensical concepts, such as the false religions
or
evilness.
None of those people can provide us with sensible guidance. Three more
examples of their idiotic
theories are:
|
1) |
The claim
that wealthy people have better health because they can afford
better healthcare. That theory is as stupid as claiming that
the dominant apes
are stronger and
healthier than the apes at the bottom of the hierarchy because they
have better healthcare.
|
|
2)
|
They believe that
hunger is the result of a shortage of food, so they
try to solve the problem by giving handouts of food to the hungry
people.
|
|
3)
|
They believe that
discrimination, glass ceilings, misogyny, and sexism is preventing
women from becoming scientists, engineers, soldiers, construction
workers, technicians, and scuba divers.
|
Leaders
should investigate
alternative opinions
Our natural tendency is to
dismiss any idea that is contrary to what we are accustomed to, but the
top leadership positions should be restricted to people who have an
above-average desire to investigate
differences of opinion.
An example of how we have a tendency to dismiss information
as idiotic, a myth, or crazy simply because it conflicts with what we
know, and how this can interfere with our understanding our world, is
our ridicule of our ancestors who believed in unicorns. As I
mentioned here, that belief
might have
been the result of some of our
ancestors who found a dead Narwhale on the beach, and assumed that it
was a horse that had one long, spiral horn on its head.
Instead of ridiculing the "crazy" beliefs of our ancestors, we should
try to understand why they
developed. That can help us to understand
how the human mind interprets the world, how our culture became what it
is, and how our ancestors lived..
For a new example, when microwave ovens became available for household
use, around 1970, a lot of people claimed that they cooked from the
inside out. That is false, but instead of assuming that those people
are idiots, we should try to understand why they believe it.
Their opinion was the result of their brain processing information
about the oven, so perhaps their mind is interpreting information
differently than ours, or they have different information.
There have been some cold evenings when I put an apple in my microwave,
set the oven on the lowest defrost cycle, and then let the apple cook
for five or so minutes. The core of the apple would get so hot that
some juice would bubble out at the stem, but the outside of the apple
was only very warm. When I cut the apple in half, the core was cooked
much more thoroughly than the outside, and it had a different visual
appearance. I can think of two possible reasons that for why the
interior was bubbling but the outside was not:
1) |
The interior of the
apple has more water, causing it to absorb more of the microwaves.
|
2)
|
My microwave oven
does not spread the microwaves evenly. Instead, it
produces a beam, and as the apple is spinning in the center of the
microwave oven, the interior gets cooked more than the outer sections
for the same reason that a rotating beam of x-rays is used to kill
cancer in radiation therapy.
Incidentally, using a beam of microwaves in that manner might be useful
for cooking certain food items, or for some industrial purposes. |
If we were to investigate the people who said that microwave ovens are
cooking from the inside out, we might discover that there are some food
items, or some ovens, that actually do heat the
interior of certain
items to a higher temperature under
certain circumstances.
Leaders
should investigate complaints
This concept of
investigating the beliefs that seem idiotic also
applies to the complaints
that people make about some
machine, software, or procedure.
Some people have made vague complaints about my software, such as "it
isn't working". I have also heard people make vague complaints about
cell phones, microwave ovens, and other devices, such as complaining
that some of the knobs, dials, switches, or features are confusing,
stupid, or worthless. There are also people who complain that the
procedures to set up a CNC machine or set the options on the cell phone
are confusing or time-consuming.
The engineers and computer programmers who create those items are often
annoyed by the complaints because the complaints seem idiotic or
trivial. However, if we investigate the "idiotic"
complaint, we will often discover that there is
something that we can improve, and that the person is not stupid. Rather, the complaint
seemed idiotic only because the person did not understand the product
well enough to explain the problem very well.
By pushing ourselves into analyzing the "idiotic" complaints about
products and software, the engineers and computer programmers will find
ways to make them easier to use, which everybody will benefit from.
We
need pressure to do things
Our natural tendency is to
do the minimum amount possible. When an engineer is finished with a
product, he wants to climb onto a pedestal and be rewarded. He does not want to listen to complaints
about his creation, or go back to work to fix problems.
Animals do things only when they are pressured, and they look for the
easiest way to accomplish their goal. Now that nature is no longer
putting pressure on us to do things, we need leaders who understand
that we are animals, and that
we need to be under pressure. Furthermore, they must be able to design
the pressure to be safe and beneficial, rather than dangerous,
or which encourages fighting, cheating, envy, or pouting.
We also need to change our culture to encourage us to do things. One
method that this Constitution uses is to encourage everybody to post
complaints in the Suggestions category about any aspect of the city
that annoys them, such as the products, software, recreational
activities, holiday celebrations, government officials, and foot paths.
The people who post valid complaints will get credit for it, and the
government officials who identify the useful complaints will get credit
for that. Those people will be considered more valuable, and have
higher priority for influential jobs. Their achievements will also
increase their chances of being put into the City Elders classification.
Leaders
cannot promote Marquis
de Sade
Another reason that our
leaders must realize that we are apes is so that they don't make the
mistake of assuming that their emotional feelings are sensible.
If a person believes that he is a creation of a God, or a piece of
clay, he is likely to assume that the more of his cravings he
satisfies, the better his life will be. He is also likely to assume
that he is suffering when he cannot
satisfy his cravings, and he might
get angry at the people who are interfering with his pursuit of
happiness.
This is the Marquis de Sade attitude that we should do whatever we
desire, and avoid whatever we dislike.
The people who follow that philosophy will assume that their life will
improve by having more sex, food, material
wealth, trophies, pampering, and status symbols. They will also try to
avoid work, criticism, responsibility, and failures. They are also
likely to cheat to get what they want.
Those type of people cannot provide
guidance. They must be prohibited from influential positions. They
should also be prohibited from reproducing.
We must
restrict leadership positions to
the people who understand that the human brain is just a modified ape
brain, and that our emotions are modified ape emotions. Our
leaders must understand that we actually get more satisfaction from
life when we must
routinely " suffer".
Leaders
cannot encourage submission
Since our culture has
evolved to give us what we want, and we want to
be submissive to our leaders, every culture is encouraging this
behavior,
and many people in leadership positions exploit this craving.
One of the most obvious
examples are the organized religions.
They pressure
us into becoming a slave
of an imaginary leader. The nations that have monarchies also encourage
this behavior. The leaders of communist nations in crime gangs also
demand a high level of submissiveness.
We must not
tolerate leaders who
encourage submission. We must treat leaders with
respect, but refuse to
become their slave. We must change our
attitudes towards leadership and regard leaders as
"employees" who have a management job. Instead of being submissive to
them, we must be critical of
them, and routinely replace
the worst performing leaders.
It is especially detrimental for a person to become submissive to an
imaginary god because he is submissive to his own fantasy. Therefore,
if he wants his god to authorize him to kill somebody, then his god
will request him to kill somebody.
The people who killed witches during the Middle Ages believed that
their god wanted them to do it, and the people in 2024 who want to kill
doctors who perform abortions believe that their god wants them to kill
those doctors.
The people who are unable to differentiate between a human leader
and a fantasy
leader are dangerous. Those people were valuable in prehistoric times
because their fantasy leader motivated them to defend their tribe from
the neighbors, but that characteristic is dangerous today.
Since every culture is dominated by religious people, no culture
considers a person to be unacceptable for imagining that some type of
god is talking to him. No culture even has a concern about the people
who hear
voices in their head. Instead, a lot of Christians have put documents
on the Internet to explain how we can hear what God is saying to us,
and how we can talk to God.
This constitution changes the situation dramatically by regarding the
people who hear voices, or who believe that a god talks to them, as
having unacceptable and
potentially dangerous mental
characteristics.
The Behavior Ministry is required to investigate human behavior
and set standards for people; the Reproductive Ministry is required to
restrict reproduction to the people in better mental health; and the
Courts Ministry is required to pass judgment on which people are so
dangerous that they should be put on restrictions or evicted.
Our
behavior is the result of our brain's
decisions
We must also
restrict leadership positions to
the people who understand that an animal's behavior is the result of
its brain processing information. The environment cannot
control
an animal. Rather, animals react to the
environment, and that reaction depends upon its brain's genetic
characteristics.
Although children are easily manipulated, every adult must be held
accountable for his behavior because every adult behaves in the manner
that his brain has decided to behave. However, a person must be able to
do more than repeat
the words: "everybody is responsible for his behavior." His life must
show that he has followed that concept by taking responsibility
for his decisions, and by expecting other people to be
responsible for their decisions.
The people who currently dominate every nation are refusing to believe
that humans
are responsible for their life. As a result, none of them are providing
us with sensible
guidance.
For
example, if a person becomes addicted to an opioid, it is because his
brain made the decision to use the drug to
the extent
that he became addicted to it. However, the US government refuses to
make Americans be responsible for their addiction to opioids. They
claim that the USA has a "National Opioids Crisis", but one of their explanations for why
some people are addicted to opioids is:
Increased prescription of opioid
medications like oxycodone and hydrocodone led to widespread misuse of
both prescription and non-prescription opioids.
During the past century, many drugs have had "increased prescriptions",
but that has not
led to "widespread misuse" of those drugs. Only some drugs are
abused, and
only by some
people.
By refusing to believe that people are responsible for their behavior,
our leaders cannot provide us
with sensible analyses or solutions to
drug addiction, alcoholism, gambling problems, credit card debt, rape,
or other bad behavior.
We must replace most, or all, of
the people who are currently dominating our societies.
Leaders
cannot be
interested in symbolism or numerology
Many of the people who
dominate the world today have strong interests in religion,
symbolism, numerology, the occult, or mysticism. This results in them
designing buildings and producing art that fit their particular
fascinations, such as the Palace
of Peace and Reconciliation in Astana, Kazakhstan ( photo below,
left).
Religious fanatics design buildings, jewelry, and art to fit their
particular religious beliefs, such as creating statues of Jesus, and
decorating buildings with crosses.
There are also some
people who have a fascination with the " Eye of
Providence", so they put that symbol on the
back of our dollar bill and other objects.
There
is no right or wrong way to design buildings or decorate a city, so
some people enjoy these decorations, and others are disgusted by them.
|
We cannot please everybody, so we must make decisions on what type of
art we consider to be acceptable. This Constitution uses the City
Elders as the standard for determining what is acceptable. Since I am
the only one designing this constitution, this constitution recommends
prohibiting all types of symbolism, numerology, witchcraft, religion,
occult, and mysticism.
For some more examples of the type of symbolism and mysticism that this
Constitution prohibits:
•
|
Some religious
people promote the concept that
communion wafers
represent the body of Jesus, and the communion wine
represents the blood of Jesus, and that eating a wafer and
drinking some wine is doing something useful.
|
•
|
Many Jews have a
fascination with numerology,
especially the number 11. This results in
them trying to arrange for events to occur at particular times and
dates. They were undoubtedly the people who arranged for the
end of World War I to be at 11 in the morning on the 11th day of the
11th month.
|
•
|
There are people
creating logos, images, and other artwork that
have
pentagrams, the Eye of Horus, Baphomet, sexual symbols, 666, and other occult
symbols. The murals at the Denver airport
are examples of their bizarre fascination with symbolism.
|
•
|
A business is promoting
a building for Oklahoma that is 1907 feet tall, and they chose that
height because Oklahoma was admitted to the USA in the year 1907. In
New York City, the World Trade Center was chosen
to be 1776 feet tall because the USA declared its independence in 1776.
Our leaders should design buildings to a height that is sensible, not
according to some numerology concept.
Although it might seem harmless to design a building according to a
particular year, it is encouraging idiotic
behavior. Furthermore, the
height would have no meaning if the future generations decide to switch
to the metric system. The World Trade
Center would become 541.3248 meters tall, and the Oklahoma building
would become
581.2536 meters tall.
Allowing
nonsensical behavior encourages more of it. Children
who grow up around nonsensical behavior will consider such behavior to
be normal.
When only a few people do
idiotic, childish, and obnoxious things, we
tend to ignore them, but if the majority
of people did it, it would be irritating.
Even worse, we have a natural desire to compete with one another, and
that craving can encourage us to get into idiotic competitions to
become the center of attention,
such as architects competing to have the most clever
height for a building.
|
•
|
Many people use an
image of a dove, or a dove with an olive branch, to
represent peace, but expecting
images of birds and branches to improve our lives is as idiotic as believing that eating a
communion wafer will improve our lives.
We will create peace in the world when we raise standards for human
behavior, control reproduction, provide ourselves with better
leadership, and exert some self-control over our animal emotions. We cannot bring
peace to the world simply by drawing some of the thousands
of peace symbols.
|
•
|
When certain people
die or are murdered, some people will get together to have candlelight
vigils. This custom has become so common that
some nations repeat them every year. They have become a
part of their culture, but they are as idiotic as eating communion
wafers.
|
This constitution considers the fascination with symbols, numerology,
the occult, and magic to be idiotic, crude, obnoxious, childish,
irrational,
wasteful, and
detrimental. Leadership positions must
be restricted to people who
encourage intelligent
behavior. Our leaders must design cities to be
beautiful, pleasant, quiet, efficient, comfortable, and easy
to maintain, rather than to promote religious or occult nonsense.
Our leaders are required to authorize murals, water fountains, and
other decorations for the city that evoke pleasant feelings, rather
than decorate the city with occult symbols. They must arrange for
social activities that are beneficial rather than symbolic. They must
arrange for events to occur
when they are most appropriate for us, not according to the numbers 9
or 11.
Encouraging people to do things that are symbolic is encouraging them
to waste their time on worthless and irrational activities.
We should use symbols for intelligent purposes, not for promoting
nonsensical concepts. For example, the skull and crossbones is useful
for
identifying poisons, and the symbol for radioactive materials is
useful for identifying those materials. We could also use symbols on
the doors of our buildings to identify what is inside, as recommended here.
We
prefer pleasant fantasies
We cannot depend upon our
mind to produce
intelligent thoughts. Science became productive during the past few
centuries only when people
realized that they need to verify their theories,
and let other people verify their theories. We cannot even depend upon
our mind
to give us a accurate view of what we are looking at.
As with animals, we want stimulate pleasant feelings and
avoid whatever irritates us. This results in us preferring to create
thoughts that are emotionally pleasant. This is the reason that most
people have a strong desire to believe in a supreme being.
We have an emotional desire to follow an
older, strong, and wise male who will protect us from harm and help us
when we have trouble. The best way to titillate that emotion is by
imagining that we are following a man who is stronger, more wise, and
more talented than all other men.
At some point in the development of humans, our ancestors develop the
ability to create an imaginary leader, and that allowed them to
stimulate themselves much more than a real human leader.
Since we want that leader to protect us every day, all throughout the
day and night, we imagine that he is floating in the sky, never sleeps,
has no desire to take a vacation, does not have friends, family
members, or activities, never has to to go to the bathroom or eat, and
never gets bored watching over us. Our mind does not care
whether there is supporting
evidence for that fantasy.
Since religion is a fantasy, each person can alter his fantasy to be
most titillating to himself.
The fantasy of a god is similar to the fantasy that we create for
ourselves when we masturbate. Our mind does not care
whether the fantasy is accurate.
Since every religion is a fantasy, none of them can explain human
behavior, or the universe, so every religious person
has to fill in the details. This allows people to fill in the details
as
they
please. The religious people are essentially filling in a coloring book in
the manner that they are most attracted to. This causes them to be even
more attracted to their religion.
Many atheists ridicule the religious people for believing in nonsense,
but everybody some nonsensical beliefs. For example, many
physicists could be described as filling in a coloring book with
fantasies, such as string theory, dark energy, dark photons, multiple
universes.
|
|
|
Religious
people titillate themselves with a
religion coloring book.
|
|
Some
physicists
titillate themselves with a Big Bang coloring book. |
Another example are the scientists who believe that women menstruate
and
have trouble giving birth because humans are superior to
animals. They
prefer that pleasant fantasy rather than the more sensible theory that
those particular genetic characteristics have been degrading for
hundreds of thousands of years.
We also like to titillate ourselves with the pleasant fantasy that
humans are superior
to animals, but it makes no sense to say one animal is superior to
another. Every animal has impressive characteristics, and some animals
have characteristics that are superior to that of humans, such as their
vision,
reflexes, hearing, and sense of smell. Some animals also have better regenerative
abilities.
The more ignorant we are about a subject, the more likely we are to
fill in the details
according to our emotional
cravings rather than intellectual
analyses. A simple example is that we have no idea what happens to us
when we
die, and our desire to titillate ourselves causes us to create a theory
that is the most emotionally pleasant, which is to believe that we will
have another life when we die,
and a better life.
Our tendency to believe whatever is most emotionally pleasing can cause
a lot of
trouble for us, such as when we believe that we are going to win our
gambling
bets, and when government officials believe that they can stop crime by
punishing criminals. We must ensure that our leaders show an
above-average ability to design theories according to intellectual analyses rather than
emotionally pleasing fantasies.
We
must test people's acceptance of reality
Every culture requires a
person to pass certain intellectual and health tests to become a
doctor, pilot, or dentist, but no culture has any tests for people
in leadership positions of governments, businesses, charities, think
tanks, religions, or sports groups. This allows people to become
leaders of those organizations even if they have obvious mental
problems,
criminal backgrounds, or drug problems, and even if they believe in
witches, clairvoyance, Sigmund Freud's
theories, Noah's Ark, or Scientology.
This constitution requires the people in leadership positions
to meet higher standards than everybody else. The
top positions are
restricted to people who excel
at accepting unpleasant
aspects of reality, and who are less likely to believe in
fantasies. Unfortunately, determining who is best able to accept
reality creates two unsolvable problems:
|
1) |
We have different
ideas on what reality
is.
|
|
2)
|
We do not know how
to measure a person's ability to accept reality.
|
Whoever gets control of society will have to make decisions on what
"reality" is, and then they have to create tests to determine who is best able
to accept that reality. By experimenting with those tests, we will
slowly improve them. This is how we determine who qualifies to be a
pilot, dentist, or doctor. For example, a test could have questions
similar to:
Why do humans have a strong attraction
to the taste of muscle meat,
but a low attraction to the taste of liver?
There are some people who speculate that prehistoric people had a
tendency to eat liver because it was easy to remove from a dead animal
and cut into pieces, and it was easy to chew. Liver also has a lot of
nutrients. So why do we prefer to eat the muscles?
Nobody knows the answer to that question, so we cannot say whether a
person has answered the question correctly, but we can pass judgment
on whether the person's answer shows an above-average ability to think and
understand evolution.
For example, imagine that four candidates for president
responded with these answers:
#1) |
Liver contains
extremely high levels of certain minerals and vitamins, such as iron,
vitamin D, and vitamin A, and high levels of purine, and very low
levels of certain other vitamins
and minerals. Muscle meat also has low levels of certain vitamins and
minerals, but it does not have excessive amounts of anything.
The prehistoric humans who had a preference for liver would have had a
tendency to suffer from an excessive level of certain nutrients,
thereby
reducing their success in reproduction. The people who preferred muscle
meat would be healthier.

We
don't
like liver because God does not want us to eat the organs of animals.

An animal has a
lot
more muscle than liver, and this results in businesses wanting to sell
more muscle meat than liver, so they promote the consumption of muscle
meat. This causes consumers to
purchase muscle meat.

An
animal has a lot
more muscle than liver, and the muscle meat can be stored for longer
periods of time, so if people preferred liver, they would not have
enough food to eat. The people who were best adapted to a prehistoric
life were those who preferred the foods that were in adequate supplies
in their particular environment.

It is possible that all four of those answers are incorrect, but
candidates #1 and #4 show evidence that they understand the concept of
evolution and genetics, whereas candidates #2 and #3 gave such idiotic
responses that they should be regarded as having inappropriate mental
characteristics for a
leadership position.
