It is more vicious to be selfish and untruthful (using society against others, passively) than it is to slaughter some so that the rest can live well.
So being untruthful is worse than killing people in the name of 'population control'?
Yea. That's definitely a holistic way to look at things.
Even worse, the majority of our population are so devoid of inherited intelligence, nobility, beauty and strength that they are always viciously and passively attacking those that they perceive to be above them (blonde jokes, anyone?).
I don't know where to start, on you.
Our society and culture is devoid of intelligence? Is that why our culture is on the cutting edge of technology in many fields? What do you mean by 'so devoid of inherited intelligence'? Not only is there intelligence in every field in this country, there's beauty and strength as well.
What's your definition of strength? Is it joining the military when you know there's a chance of dying? Is it raising several children as a single parent? Is it working three jobs to put yourself through college? Is it sticking to whatever your moral core is, despite pressure from every imaginable side to feel some alternative way?
Because we have all that, in our society. We have all that, and a lot more.
Are you such a cynical fool that you cannot recognize gorgeousity and strength in everyday life, and everyday people? Does it have to be Rembrant, or Van Gogh to beautiful? Does it have to be Ghandi, or Martin Luther King, to be strong?
Wake the fuck up. You're an eternal-pessimist who thinks everything is, and always will be, shit. And you're rightfully entitled to feel that way. Proposing silly little plans to 'fix' your malcontented opinions about things, however, is fucking ridiculous.
[ Only in an insane society would we spend all of our time demonizing terrorists and nazis when the real threat comes from our loss of holistic values. ]
As technology increases, and economies strengthen...holistic values die. You know this. Anyone who took an intro-to-business in highschool knows this.
It's just how a culture evolves.

Who gets to breed then, the people who are ‘inherited’ with intelligence, nobility, beauty and strength (have to point out of course, none of these traits are inherited)
Actually traits are inherited: It's called DNA, and you share it with your relatives.
Nobility, strenght, and beauty are all perspective. There is no 'true definiton' of nobility, or beauty.
It's an opinion. Like everything else you say.
I don't think science fiction is going to help us any time soon, so in the meantime I'd rather we all focus on pragmatic means of preserving our planet and its biological diversity.
Oh, space travel is 'science fiction'...while 'purifying our ethnicity' is complete scientific fact.
Way to go.
