im trying to think of that movies about this

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119177/

So good

have you seen this?

no

it is really relevant

looks cool though

I love me some good sci-fi

watch this

I should watch that again

it is an amazing movie and great thought experiment

I don't think it did super-well at the box office, but I think everyone who was around back then still remembers the name of the film

I read that H.G. Wells was a eugenicist. I wonder what exactly his views were because there's such a range, all the way from scientific racism and utterly evil ideas all the way to commonly practiced and obviously wholesome ideas.

But it seems most people just want to say all of eugenics is the obviously evil stuff

Wells did seem like quite a pro-leviathan guy

My english teacher a while back tried to say that all of eugenics was based in phrenology.

which is profoundly ignorant of eugenics

pro-leviathan?

what's that?

mm, I might have misused the term, gimme a sec to dig out the right book

At the very least he was more a proponent of the benevolent dictator

or a group of smart people making the decisions for everyone else

(sounds familiar)

*National Anthem of USSR plays*

Weird to think he was a Fabian for a while

Not so weird that he left them because they weren't imaginative enough for him

actually

*rummages*

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_views_of_H.G._Wells

His most consistent political ideal was the World State. He stated in his autobiography that from 1900 onward he considered a World State inevitable. He envisioned the state to be a planned society that would advance science, end nationalism, and allow people to progress by merit rather than birth. Wells's 1928 book The Open Conspiracy argued that groups of campaigners should begin advocating for a "world commonwealth", governed by a scientific elite, that would work to eliminate problems such as poverty and warfare.

In 1932, he told Young Liberals at the University of Oxford that progressive leaders must become liberal fascists or enlightened Nazis who would "compete in their enthusiasm and self-sacrifice" against the advocates of dictatorship. In 1940, Wells published a book called The New World Order that outlined his plan as to how a World Government would be set up. In The New World Order, Wells admitted that the establishment of such a government could take a long time, and be created in a piecemeal fashion.
