There is also the gender bellcurve argument that states the DNA of women are more normalized and the DNA of males are more radical to the extreme tails of the bellcurve.(both good and bad)
If we are looking for the best and the brightest to lead, then we must be focused on these DNA tails.

Just as long as the drivers are also bankrupted by fines. Responsibility should be symmetrical.
What dodge? I'm simply asking you for an explanation why drivers do not go bankrupt.

What is rhetorical about the question? Drivers get fined for driving outside of their lane. That is not a hypothetical.

People jaywalk less in Singapore, because instead of getting a fat payout from lawsuit if a car hits you and zero consequences if it doesn't, you get up to $1,000 dollars in fines if you step out onto the pavement and if you get hit outside of a crosswalk you don't have right of way. If you argued against the Singaporean system by citing the frequency of jaywalking in the US and then trying to argue that X amount of people would be bankrupted by fines or mowed over then you are making either a dishonest or an ignorant argument. This is because when you introduce a risk to a decision, people decide differently.
I think it was pretty impressive that you predicted his counter argument before he actually gave it.

Then how do we as a species resolve our out-dated DNA? Most humans are not genetically compatible with an automated existence. Something has to give.

Technology moves faster than our DNA. We still have the most of the genetic makeup required to live in conditions 2000 years ago, along with the genetic instincts and impulses.

I disagree. Smollett is the natural course of woke politics when the game is a mad scramble up the oppression ladder. There is not a single current person running on the left with the exception of Bernie Sanders who would think twice about manufacturing oppression from identity groups.

At this point, I would be happy to support a socialist if they promise to adopt the Nordic Tax policies. No taxes on the poor has rotted the government to the core. Near half the country with zero skin in the game.

A Federal Sales tax would be a flat rate. It's not rocket science for fucks sake.
You don't understand Poly. There's no way to care for the poor without harming the rich in the twisted minds of the left, because it's always in EVERY CASE the productive person's fault that the less productive person has less money.
You can scream that a flat federal tax would actually generate more revenue to provide more services the poor (and all people too) till you are blue in the face and it won't matter to these twisted freaks. They talk a good game with the emulation of Government provided services like they have in the Nordic countries, but how dare you tax the poor like the Nords do? It's almost like they admit taxes are "bad" and the poor are "good." Let's just drop the entire argument that the billions of political dollars spent on politicians for the precise purpose of getting an edge in the current crony tax code would practically vanish instantly with a flat tax. The next generation will completely forget why Citizens United was even a big deal. Nah, preserve the status quo, it's what both parties are best at doing.

I'm actually enjoying that Battle of Blair Mountain article because I happen to be evicting a roommate in real life.
He never paid, so he gets the boot, he has no right to steal property. There's plenty of homeless shelters in the state I live where he can flop in. I really don't care. When someone personally stiffs you for a rent bill, it's really hard to be compassionate, especially when they flash money in your face before heading of to their drug supplier to blow it.
So happens when you declare that a place you rent is yours and you don't have to pay nuffin, that's theft and trespassing, and a reason to call the law like they did at Blair Mountain. When you start shooting the law, you're a traitor. When you try to capture the town government by force, that's insurrection.
There's a reason why the Mob went into the business of labor unions, and it was definitely as a cover to do similar criminal activities while claiming to be "oppressed"
Yo! Joey...pay the man so we can protect yous...from who? You don't wanna know. Nice protection racket the labor unions were in the glory days of crony capitalism.

Approximately around 550 miners and labor activists were convicted of murder, insurrection, and treason for their participation in the march from Lens Creek to Logan County and the ensuing Battle of Blair Mountain

Got any kewl anecdotes from the 21st century? I mean history is fun but not very relevant to many things today.
Did you know people would use leeches for headaches?
Like, how would Walmart today be allowed by the government to form a mercenary militia? That hasn't happened since 1861.

@3RU7AL
You make it sound like a bad thing. I actually enjoy shopping at Walmart. It's way cheaper than the mom and pop shops I grew up with, plus it has the stuff I want.
Your link shows that government non-competition regulations on small businesses are the same thing as holding a gun to your head in your movie.
Crony Capitalism is a system where by both Government and the financial markets protect big business. Government protects it by regulations, these regulations are an annoyance to big business but they help to keep small business under control because they often cannot comply with the regulations.
You don't need a billion dollars to compete. Just offer me more than Walmart gives me.

There is no legally mandated minimum wage in Denmark. Danes are against the idea that the government would set minimum wages. Some other developed countries like Sweden, Norway and Switzerland do not have any minimum or maximum wage.

What % socialist is Denmark? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Denmark
Seems similar to Norway where businesses are privately owned and not managed by the government while the poor are taxed at 40% for many government services.
I don't think there is a single politician in any party advocating for a 40% tax on the poor.
Denmark also has no minimum wage, so they have a big advantage over the USA.

The government bans nobody, and you are a fool to believe the fake news narrative when you know full well as Chomsky does that it's in corporate media's interests to satisfy their advertisers by suggesting the fake narrative that government has or would ban fake news.
The only people doing the actual banning is corporate media themselves on smaller outlets, and you are a fool for supporting them. Why won't you agree with Chomsky?

The first 3 links are foreign media, tacitly acknowledging corporations drive the fake narratives in America to secure advertising dollars. The last link directly supports this.
I particularly enjoyed your last link for exposing that:
The dominant mass-media outlets are large companies operated for profit, and therefore they must cater to the financial interests of the owners, who are usually corporations and controlling investors. The size of a media company is a consequence of the investment capital required for the mass-communications technology required to reach a mass audience of viewers, listeners, and readers.
Since the majority of the revenue of major media outlets derives from advertising (not from sales or subscriptions), advertisers have acquired a "de facto licensing authority." Media outlets are not commercially viable without the support of advertisers. News media must therefore cater to the political prejudices and economic desires of their advertisers. This has weakened the working class press, for example, and also helps explain the attrition in the number of newspapers.
Herman and Chomsky argue that “the large bureaucracies of the powerful subsidize the mass media, and gain special access [to the news], by their contribution to reducing the media’s costs of acquiring [...] and producing, news. The large entities that provide this subsidy become 'routine' news sources and have privileged access to the gates. Non-routine sources must struggle for access, and may be ignored by the arbitrary decision of the gatekeepers.” Editorial distortion is aggravated by the news media’s dependence upon private and governmental news sources. If a given newspaper, television station, magazine, etc., incurs disfavor from the sources, it is subtly excluded from access to information. Consequently, it loses readers or viewers, and ultimately, advertisers. To minimize such financial danger, news media businesses editorially distort their reporting to favor government and corporate policies in order to stay in business.
I hope Chomsky could convince you where I have not.

The most recent journalists killed in the United States were four reporters for The Capital in Annapolis, Maryland, who were killed on June 28, 2018 in a mass shooting at the newspaper's office.
Yes, a yellow journal outfit who badgered a crazyman in 2011 got caught with reckless paparazzi. Big deal.
The reporter felt responsible for not redacting the crazy person's name after the shooting. Whatever. Crucifying individual people in the court of public opinion is the zeitgeist of neo-kangaroo public courts. The press protections facilitate this.
All news is entertainment for advertisers. They don't care if the news is fake or not, as long as people tune in to watch and buy their products.
Advertisers have little incentive to invest in actual investigative journalism. It's bad for business in a crony capitalist society.
A shame that corporate media still has the trust of most of the left, who generally inherently worship institutions over principles, no matter how crony.
Used to be the left actually spoke truth to power, now they accept the truth from power without question.
