Well my music days here are over, it's hopeless
But I had a thought. Was thinking about writing a song, or it could even be a concept album.
I was thinking about how in school, teachers used to say...if everybody looked the same life would be boring...
Could say...if everybody was same height, same hair color, same eyes, same skin.
Everybody same intelligence...
My thought is, everything that creates problems in the world, is difference.
You can't tell me that the most gorgeous girl in school, is going to be less interesting than a homely looking one. She's gonna have guy's, she's gonna get good jobs, she's gonna make money or Marry into money.
Assuming if course that looks prevail.
If every guy had six pack abs, how is that boring?
Why should only some people have advantages?
If everybody had same income... There would be less crime, less adversity.
If everybody was equally attractive, marriages wouldn't end due to cheating...why cheat were all the same????
If we all had same personality...nobody could bring us down. If we're all happy, life is better.
As is only the people...the genetically superior , have it the best.
Better looks, better dimensions, healthier,
But if we all were like that, there would be no school shootings... No depression, no wars
Differences make the world a bad place.

"Life ain't fair" No question. But it probably is already possible to create ourselves to the top of the genetic line. I mean I saw something in TV . Kids viewed the more attractive teacher as nicer... THATs sad

And how likely would it be if the most attractive, popular, captain in the football team being a school shooter?
Zero possiblity unless something mental was going on.

THATs sad Yes they do. Look at CNN and MSNBC. Liberal and woke, yet physical attractiveness amongst women seems to be a required job skill for the most part. (Maybe not Joy reid)

Yeah and I used to think tjere weren't many good looking conservatives.
I love that kat timph. Gorgeous.
I realize it sounds utopian and sounds even socialist in some ways
But politics is after the fact.
I'm talking basics of life. Some people hit the genetic gene pool others don't.
Majority are in the middle. Odd how there are more in the middle in everything.
But I have a friend who never had to try to get a girl, they'd walk right up to him.
He's actually a news caster. But he's like it's so easy to pick up women lol.
He doesn't know anything else.
But I do ok. I'm shorter than I'd like to be, but I sing well, pretty good looking. Smeart.
Funny, [naughty word removed] I'm awesome!

It's a bit easier now tech makes it easy I'm hoping AI will help us more than hurt us. But I just thought of a hook.... It's crowded in the middle"

Good looking or bad looking is not the probllem or the solution.
Ted Bundy, a mass murderer, was very handsome and charming. That is part of why he was able to get so many victimes.
Looks can be decieving but not always. Elon Musk and RFK Jr are every bit as hideously ugly on the inside as they are on the outside. Some but not all of the murder suspects on the news, have that look in their eye and you can tell they are tweeked.
The problem lies in that most people are never taught that everywhere in the world, there are good people and bad people and lots of people that are some mix of good and evil. And you can not tell their true nature just by whether they look good or ugly or look just like you, or much different and strange. You need to look at the things they do. You need to observe and think.
When all else is the same, trust your ugly firend morel than your good looking friend. They both might be tempted to seduce your girlfriend, but the good looking one might actually succeed.

All true, and there's no right or wrong. And we're not just talking looks here. Genes control out personalities, our health, our sense of humor. The people who hit the genetic jackpot have much better lives. Imagine being born with Michael Jordans basketball ability? Where not a single person on earth is better. Some are close, some can't dribble a basketball. Imagine having songwriting talent like Bob Dylan, or being able to live to 120. Some people have nothing that stands out. Some bosses hiring are not even aware that they are hiring a woman cause of her tats... " Gee, there was something I really liked about her, can't figure it out" lol But going back to original premise... Imagine being a homely girl and friends with a beauty queen. And everywhere you go nobody is interested In you Would life be boring if we all looked the same? Well perhaps, but as I see it, bring different, creates problems. Social problems, financial problems, satisfaction problems, criminal problems.... I may be talking extremes here, most people are falling in the Middle. Which is neither bad nor good Most accept and are content We accept it and as most have said here life is not fair.

It all boils down to genetics, huh? Eugenics would fix everything...?

TMI Dom. This thread speaks volumes about YOU! Blows WhAT theory out water? Tony imagine you had a brain,? Genetics are powerful influencers. There other things, but for sure they determine our looks, our physique, our Pedonslity. If you get the right genes, your gonna have an easier time. Most of us get by, but it's been proven that even differences in skin color creates a flight of fight response in humans. We feel challenged by people different than us. Solve that by all having same color skin.

Test tube babies is a great idea Exactly, they might be able to cure ugliness, stupidity, social awkwardness, max out IQ, max out human life span which is supposed to be 12o years. Give all women big cans, it levels the playing field. As is it's all about competitive advantage. It probably could happen, I'm sure ethics committee would be against. But why would you want somebody to suffer if they could live fulfilling amazing lives. Fur the record I'm not sure myself, but it does seem like life is easier when you got all the goods working together

The highest functioning set of animals on earth is the human race. Humans are smarter than the rest, capable of abstract thought, but disordered in a lot of ways.
I think its a safe bet that Bill Gates et al are in think tanks contemplating what the next gen of bio-engineered humans is going to be. It is not going to be anyone like any of us.
A big question is...how do they plan to get rid of all the unwanted leftovers that won't make the cut?

Yeah Microsoft and Apple battling for the best machine.
But I'm not endorsing we achieve this by machine, or that half robo half human.
I'm talking all human. The top in the human race obvious have dna that could be replicated.
Man can live 120 years, it's been done, figure out the dna.
We can all be attractive without plastic surgery.
Take a look at the animal kingdom, talk about life not being fair. Be a zebra in the savannah get mailed by a Lion. He wins cause he's bigger and stronger.
If we're all same strength nobody ficks with anyone.
Wakke up every morning loving yourself.
I'm not suggesting all clones, we could still have plenty of variety, while tops in genes.
Timagine having beautiful women who want to be with you . And we're all beautiful.
Strange thoughts I'm sure there's been sci fi movies about.
The giver maybe?
