1- Now you say I'm different to that Nazi, but you compared me to her as I was the same. Don't do any more this kind of mistake.
2- I don't say that killing 6 millions of Humans, even if the species is far to be destroyed, is acceptable. I would never they such a thing!
But you understood my point about species.
3- You're a little wrong about something at the end. Well, take a true example: I heard that leopards almost disappeared, thousands years ago, and even if they're still there, they're now victim of too much inbreeding. They become weaker and weaker as the time goes and will probably disappear totally one day. Now, take the same thing with a species who is almost destroyed because of the quantum virus. I know that the Hork-Bajirs were "made", but... Still, if a species is close to disappear, the last members won't have enough gene to reform a strong species. We had a question at school who could be about the beginning of Remnants (other series by Applegate): if the humanity was destroyed, you can save only 6 people, we give you 10 persons, who will you send? Some people said "the most intelligent", some other "the people who can have the more children", but I couldn't answer: to me, it was totally stupid, because 6 persons are useless to continue a species, and I couldn't decide who need to be saved! The teacher couldn't make me answer. I just can't decide.
And it's why I can't agree with you when you say that smart people must be saved more than others, or that the "stupid" people who make a lot of children are better. I don't think I can judge the other Humans like that, and who are you to judge the others?!
Something else, please think about it: "intelligence" and "knowledge" are 2 different things. Some people who are poor can be very intelligent, but don't have any way to go to school and have knowledge. Some other people are quite rich, can pay the best universities and will have a lot of knowledge, but it doesn't mean they're intelligent. To me, intelligence permit to understand the world, understand the other people and think by yourself. Knowledge comes more easily when you're intelligent, and it's also a way to improve your intelligence, but it's different.
PS: Well, it's one of my longest message on RAF, please applaud :p
