That was my point, DB. Kinda like the only people who harp on and on about racial politics are those who feel most disenfranchised or who feel most insecure.
Regardless, to make it clear, being interested in equivivalent of getting 1 million bucks no-strings-attached (being "enhanced" via genetics or whatever) in the future which can expand ones experience of life dramatically = just being clever.
In response to your post: there are findings that indicates that the shifting demographics (including a decline in the average cognitive abilities
) and political favorization of the "lesser fortunate morons from 85th street" will result in a future world with less opportunities and more "negative elements" for people with enormously high IQ scores,
black hair blond hair,
brown eyes blue eyes and overall genetic superiority. Any sane human being employing a long-term timespan "way of thinking" when making plans for the future would base their planning on this assumption, and discussing this + raising awareness around it (like what Mazi is doing) could definitely be a result of a calculated approach to ones own "design of the future" instead of trying to take the edge out of an irrational fear that runs rampant in ones head due to the percieved danger of 85th street hoodlums killing off all the greats from 130th street or above.
And Debussey = the most insecure person on Getbig. Between daily panic attacks and major depression-episodes (covered up with heroic doses of benzos and SSRI's), Debussey's extremely low confidence results in a lethargic being, bound to a wheelchair, a medium for pain and agony with no prospects for the future.
