Or rather recast it as a demographic/intelligence analysis. Is there any data on the Internet showing the relationship between fertility and intelligence? My guess would be that the truly feebleminded, those most likely to be sterilized, would have a low fertility rate. If this is so then such sterilization programs would be of little value. Looking for data, Humbaba Fertility as a function of intelligence

Laying aside for a moment ethical issues I’d like to examine the demographic economic paradox. Or rather recast it as a demographic/intelligence analysis.

Is there any data on the Internet showing the relationship between fertility and intelligence? My guess would be that the truly feebleminded, those most likely to be sterilized, would have a low fertility rate. If this is so then such sterilization programs would be of little value.

Looking for data,

Way long before reading this, I was thinking that this could be employed under water using a glass tube to get passengers between our Islands, then I saw something on Discovery channel about the concept of doing it across the atlantic. I was so excited about it, just thinking I had thought about it without seeing or hearing about it at all. I would still like to see it done on a smaller scale between Islands. Thanks DI, well done.

This is a great site, and I wish I'd come across it sooner! The exchanges between the commenters are (for the most part) funny and smart. And the articles really are damn interesting, not to mention well-written. I agree with JustcallmeChug. This is a great site, and I wish I’d come across it sooner!

Interesting article and (for the most part) inteligent responses. It is so refreshing to see a blog that is not riddled with profanity and name calling. I am certainly no prude, but the ignorance infesting most web sites is overwhelming. This is my first visit to DI, but it will not be my last. My compliments to Silverhill......good answers.
