AI Thread Summary
Dividing the United States into "specialists" and "workers" could theoretically promote fairness and progress by allowing specialists to focus on science and innovation while workers handle essential jobs. However, this division raises concerns about personal aspirations, as individuals may want to switch roles, complicating the categorization process. The feasibility of such a system is questioned, given the diverse capabilities of the population and the government's inability to accurately classify individuals. The discussion suggests that while the idea aims for equality, it overlooks the complexities of human ambition and societal needs. Ultimately, the proposed solution may not be practical or achievable.

Simple solution to everything, If the United States were to be divided into "specialists" and "workers". If the specialists got money to pursue sciences(instead of wasting money on war), we would progress ourselves as a country. If the workers just did "lower" jobs (ones that no one wants(ones we need like mining, farming, ...). If everyone also learned to listen to others (when referring to experiences, stories, and guidance). The Country i think, would be completely fair.

But, on the other hand, that'll never happen, because the majority of people in the United States don't meet those requirements.

Hypethetically, if the country was to try to work twords that goal(like i think it is) Could it result in a Civil War by 2012?

We already have people that work in "lower jobs" and "higher jobs." What is the benefit of a formalization?
The Country i think, would be completely fair.
Completely fair? What if a worker wants to be a specialist? What if a specialist wants to be a worker? The federal government looks at three hundred million people and sees them in terms of numbers on pieces of paper. How are they going to know who is a specialist and who is a worker?
 
Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
