If we were ALL ruled by a Philosopher (decentralized cryptocurrency comes to mind) then improving humanity by controlled breeding in order to increase desirable heritable characteristics is not a bad idea.
Unfortunately this has already been tried by power hungry individuals with disastrous consequences.
It seems obvious to me that natural selection should work to ensure that those who live according to sustainable, established qualities would survive and procreate. And that these superior people would individually and collectively work to constantly ensure that problems are solved as they happen.
Of course this has not been true. Even if the decision of who would live to continue the species were put up to a vote the results would be inconclusive.
I vote for survival of those most compatible with permaculture standards! People who see the long lasting value in caring for the earth and people, and investing any surpluses back into caring for the earth and each other are the ones I would select to continue the species.
Tithing is the key! It changed my life to realize that I am just a steward in God's world. Everything belongs to God. Returning only 10% back to doing God's work in the world is a mind blowing idea to live by.
It leads naturally to the realization that we have an obligation to care for His earth and all people; to act as His stewards.
I know that the solution to world problems begins with me. If I live according to the ideal in the best way I can it sets an example. I am the only one I can control.
Pass on to others all the best. While it circulates around it will eventually come back to you and we will all be blessed by the abundance.
The variable ways and means of achieving this goal can be found in innumerable places. If we all individually live our lives as if this change for the good was possible, then the balance will be tipped in our favor and the cascade of possibilities will amaze us all! and hopefully come to fruition.
