					<description><![CDATA[@Geoffrey Britain:&lt;i&gt;Nature has a cure for stupidity. It is a permanent cure.&lt;/i&gt;

You might take a look around at Nature. The vast majority of successful organisms are extraordinarily stupid. I refer you to any plant, insect, or bacterium if you need an example.

&quot;Stupid&quot; can be a virtue because being &quot;smart&quot; is expensive and no organism has an unlimited budget. Resources spent on brain power could have a higher return if spent on producing or rearing more offspring or better resource gathering or sexual attractiveness.

Your highly selective list of extinctions isn&#039;t a representative sample of what actually goes extinct or doesn&#039;t. There&#039;s lots of ways to thrive and survive and &quot;smartest&quot; or &quot;strongest&quot; isn&#039;t necessarily best.

Human norms of what&#039;s desirable or undesirable don&#039;t cut any ice with Nature. 

 A stupider human could well be better adapted to what&#039;s coming in the future.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[zaphod:

Yes that little attack on 12/7/1941 worked out pretty well for them in the long run. 
 Now the British had much better luck in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Burma, wait, they didn&#039;t.  But you know all this?  

How&#039;s that CCP nuke plant doing?  Do you have a good beta/gamma instrument or just another HP calculator? Knowing how to use a G/M counter and having  really good respirator might come in handy.   

Can Do!  beeblebrox Can Do!]]></description>
