Graduate Mothers’ Scheme

What is the similarity between the Nazi regime and the graduate mothers’ scheme? The answer is Eugenics. Eugenics is intervention in human evolution in order to improve on the human species. You can either practise it in a positive way or negative way. Positive would be to encourage those who are ‘fitter’ to breed while discouraging those who aren’t to not breed or to inter-breed with those who are. Negatively, it would entail the sterilization or more extremely the gradual elimination of an entire race.

The most notorious example would be Hitler’s concentration camps where ‘undesirables’ were put away. On a lesser scale would be the various sterilisation programmes enforced throughout the United States when eugenics was still endorsed as a way to improve the human race and lessen suffering.

Of course, the Graduate Mothers; Scheme would be an example of positive eugenics, where people who are considered more intelligent are encouraged to reproduce in order to increase the amount of such people in the population. “2 or more if you can afford it” targets those of a better socio-economic background and expensive dating agencies preclude those who can’t afford it. As anyone with an inkling of sense and social awareness can tell, intelligence is directly correlated with wealth/social background so these campaigns can be seen as an attempt by a certain person/people to specifically target those who are better or more ‘elite’.

Thankfully, eugenics has long been discredited and abandoned, although largely more due to the atrocities commited by the Nazis then genuine care for the human race’s gene pool. Remants of eugenics still remain, with genetic screening for people with heritable diseases; this is necessary to avoid the pain to both parent and child when a child is afflicted with such an illness.

Hitler and Fanart.If Hitler was born in 1992, would he have been an anime fanboy? Looks that way.He found coloured cartoons of the characters Bashful and Doc from the 1937 Disney film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which were signed A.H., and an unsigned sketch of Pinocchio as he appeared in the 1940 Disney film.

Hitler tried to make a living as an artist before his rise to power. While there was no independent confirmation yesterday that the drawings were the work of the Nazi leader, Hitler is known to have owned a copy of Snow White, the classic animated adaptation of a German fairy tale, and to have viewed it in his private cinema.

Hitler

While other kids were listening to crappy pop music, I reading about Hitler in P5. loved how he became a ruler.

I’m only talking about him ‘coz, apparently there’s a link between how intelligent your blog is and Hitler.

That’s my interpretation of Yong Zhi’s comments on how unintelligent people’s blog are, except for mine.

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider God-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, wrongly believing that he has the Gods on his side.

–Aristotle, Politica bk v (ca. 340 BCE)

How true it is, that we saw Hitler, adhering to Catholicism.
