Define "super race"! There are no "good genes" vs. "bad genes" -

An excellent point, Charles. My views exactly.

But a totalitarian government is not likely to understand this. After
all, they are all about standardization and conformity.

First they will want to develop the perfect soldier: men with great
strength, cunning, and fearlessness.

Then they will want the model citizen, and the perfect worker, who will
never break the law or bend the rules, and can take the stresses of the
workplace for 50 years without burning out, or developing ulcers.

And they will want to develop higher IQ individuals for the elite
ruling class.

Of course in doing this, they will develop lot of genetic sameness.
And as you alluded above, the next time the environmental wind shifts,
the die off could be total!
