Leaflet #3: Degeneracy in Action

For an example of degeneracy, let us take a look at popular culture, with which we are all unfortunately too well versed.

Remember that prior to the technological breakthroughs during and after WW II, celebrities were famous for displaying discernible talents. With the advent of the MTV generation, celebrities are now famous simply because they can get their faces on television. There is no person who exemplifies this vexing phenomenon more than Paris Hilton. She became world renown overnight because she is a billionaire heiress who appeared on a scandalous video that circulated around the internet. Instead shunning her for her inglorious scandal, the media and much of the general public have become enamored with every facet of her extravagant and promiscuous life. This young woman has attracted millions of adoring fans, yet she is glorified not by any contributions to science, to society, or to politics. Her followers love her purely because she lives an opulent and profligate life, one that is packaged neatly by paparazzi for mass consumption. People like her have become America’s drug. Rather than spend their time in worthwhile pursuits, the public makes following celebrities’ lives its scholarly expertise. Many are scholars of pop trivia, reading time consuming nonsense like the tabloids. Average high school students know more about Paris Hilton’s latest fashion trends than they do about evolution. Youth are so deluded and hypnotized by popular culture – via music, movies, and the internet – that they have no clue the commoner’s mind is degenerating.

If more young girls become like Paris, then the coming generation will face epidemics like sexually transmitted diseases, idleness, and ignorance. The world has degenerated into this sad state, in which people are revered for no other reason than that they have money and are famous. Paris Hilton is the embodiment of modern female degeneracy.

Hollywood has played an insidious part in society’s potential downfall as well. While filmmakers are generally to be lauded for their commitment to the science of Darwin, the silver screen has tragically produced personages who threaten mankind’s progress. Lindsay Lohan is a prime example of a degenerate whose self-destructive behavior is damaging because the public is titillated by her worthless activities. This starlet is the offspring of a criminal father and an unscrupulous mother, both of whom have genetic flaws, which predictably have been passed onto their daughter. When teenagers who idolize Lohan see her on the news constantly carousing, partying, and drinking-and-driving, what will these young girls do but imitate her?

Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan’s degeneracy is the degeneracy of North American young girls. These impressionable and ignorant youths will invariable ape their starlet goddesses. Degeneracy affects both genders, though, as young boys are in no better position than the fairer, more delicate sex. The popularity of degenerate starlets entices men to lust for unhealthy and unfit women who ought not to reproduce. Furthermore, young girls will not develop the intelligence that they need. While rich degenerates like Paris can survive and live luxuriously without ever acquiring many skills, middle-class women will grow up to discover that the world is a harsh and maleficent place, where natural selection destroys the weak.

Although eugenics is a controversial subject, it indisputably has scientific merit. Scientists are identifying key genes that are linked to criminality and violent dispositions. In the near future, science will tell us who are fittest to propagate, and who should not spread their genes. For now, those of you who are vigorous, patriotic, and intelligent, you should marry a similarly endowed partner and make plans for a large family. Nature has given you favored traits, so you are obligated to pass them on and replenish our race.
