INTRODUCTION

Around the time frame of the 1930's-1940's, certain revolutionary scientific discoveries were madewhich had the potential to significantly transform the world. Some of these discoveries, like the atomicbomb, became publicly known, but most did not. It was argued that these new technologies, whichcould, for example, eliminate the need for fossil fuel and transform the world into a paradise, could alsobe used to create new weapons with powers which would dwarf the atomic bomb and could easilydestroy the planet. It was concluded that the good from these new technologies could never be realizedas long as there existed people on the earth with serious disagreements because they would use thetechnologies for war. Therefore, three scenarios were proposed:

Option 1

Lock up the new technologies and forget about them. The world would remain forever in an artificiallyinduced "dark age".

Option 2

Create a sort of "split level" world where certain "chosen people" would get to use the advancedtechnologies while the "ordinary people" would be kept in an artificially maintained "dark age". This isthe present solution. An elaborate information control system of "security clearances", enforced bycomplex and expensive spy network, separates the "chosen people" from the "ordinary people".

Option 3

Kill the ordinary people so that the advanced technologies could be freely used since only the "chosenpeople" would remain alive. This is the proposed future "final solution". An estimated 75% - 90% ofthe population would be murdered. This is considered the most economically sound solution becausethe tremendous cost of the information suppression spy network would be eliminated. Also, allproblems concerning shortages of resources would be eliminated because there would now be a surplusof resources in relation to population which would allow the surviving "chosen people" to all live a lifeof luxury. The moral implications of this option are considered irrelevant.
