The mainstream media in the United States have been quick to denounce Russian claims that a Nazi philosophy is being proliferated in the West. The latest gambit by some of the AI “nerds” in Silicon Valley give proof that the spirit of Adolf Hitler still lives.
Tsvi Benson-Tilsen, a mathematician, who is a co-founder of the Genomics Project, a non-profit supporting the development of genetic testing to determine if babies are genetically capable of becoming geniuses or must be relegated to the position of “useless eaters,” as Malthus termed them, is one of the strongest proponents of this. According to Benson-Tilsen and other promoters of this idea, the “geniuses” have to be given the opportunity for better education and greater opportunities. Race and discrimination will no longer be criteria in this new diversity policy of “genetic optimization.”
This is merely the whole AI hoax gone berserk. Benson-Tilsen claims that he has initiated the project because of his “fears” that AI will be taking over from humans, necessitating an increase in “brainpower,” using so-called “cutting-edge technology” for the humans in their “competition” with AI.
Procreation between a man and a woman is now frowned upon by this new cybernetic-age elite. With the advance of IVF, they feel they can “select” their optimal offspring. As one of the key proponents of such new “technology,” Noor Siddiqi, the CEO of Orchid Health in San Francisco, says, “Sex is for fun and embryo-screening is for babies.” She claims she is thus “ushering in a generation that gets to be genetically blessed and avoid disease.” It is feared that it will much rather be a generation of neurotic “zombies” whose only question to their father will be “But who is my real Daddy?” The whole thing reminds one of a 1978 film with Gregory Peck called “The Boys From Brazil,” which was a fictional story about the very real Josef Mengele, who is depicted as having “cloned” 13 Adolf Hitlers.
This whole operation caters to wealthy families who want to choose their children in the same way that they would choose their favorite furniture. We may find some of this in the more bizarre “futuristic” novels of psychedelic Aldous Huxley or H.G. Wells, who actually wanted to see such a future. Most Americans, raised in the Judeo-Christian, Islamic or Confucian culture would be horrified by this disgusting scheme. And that leaves out of the picture what happens to those embryos that do not “make the grade.” These, of course, could simply be discarded, without retribution. Since they were not allowed to develop, it won’t be considered murder, but the drift is the same, and the upshot of the whole thing is the affirmation that there is a “master race” based on genetic testing, and the rest of us are effectively servants to the elite—or even “useless eaters.” It is now time to respond before this pestilence has a chance to spread.
Genetics has virtually nothing to do with producing genius in the first place, as actual geniuses like Ludwig van Beethoven and Lyndon LaRouche would tell you.
