That's a touchy subject....The point I was trying to make is that our current
society keeps natural selection from working. Too many people with weak (both
physical and mental. hell, social too) traits are alive. Nothing against these
people personally, but they are taking up some of the livelihood of others.
For that reason, I hope I die before I get to a state when I'm just taking up
space and money. In more "primitive" time, the traits in question would be
less common, because of the process of natural selection. Hmm, I still haven't
answered the question...I suppose that physical traits wouldn't matter much in
a more high tech society, (there are plenty of jobs that just require a
functioning brain to do) and that could transfer over into anarchy. Mental
traits would be a bigger deal now, but in the switch-over to anarchy, more
physical labor may be required, (at least at first) so people with problems
like learning disabilities and other minor traits would still be able to
contribute. Major mental problems would be up to the family of the person
involved. Hopefully, people will know whether or not its worth keeping someone
alive. The big issue here is social traits. People who have leadership
abilities, would be valuable, but only if they are not overly domineering.
Natural followers would get along well, but may be too reserved to speak up
about their own ideas. The problem traits are people who are very abrasive,
stubborn, and lazy. These are people able to contribute, but refuse to do so
for a myriad of reasons. These people would probably be ostracized from their
community and have to strike it out on their own.
