we'd shrivel up and die. we've set our economy and life up so that if this were to happen, the best and brightest marks of our culture would die first. only those who contribute nothing would survive bc they really have little to adapt to.
i saw we let everything stay but live on our own selfish terms with absolute truth being our most important virute. how long would most of us surive then?

A lot of us are even barely surviving with truth as a virtue. It's a pretty damn good way to live, live on your terms butbe truthful. It takes a lot to do that, but how many can handle the truth and grow from it rather than carrying around an open wound from it forever.

When it comes to nature, I think the ability to contribute has little to do as a factor. Someone with a Harvard degree has a chance of failing if they don't know how to forage for food or make a shelter or fire or navigate their way home via stars or which side the moss grows or whatever. Those who have l ttle to contribute could have a number of factors (laziness? disease?) Everyone's chances are almost equal.

Sacrifice survival of the fittest for equality.
