One might think we need more academically brilliant straight-A students -- genius mathematicians and physicists for example. In college and grad school 50+ years ago, I was surrounded by those straight-A students -- folks we called "grinds". They were truly brilliant.
But most lacked something -- an imagination, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a joy of life. Some were professional students - their goal in life was not to create a great new product or service -- it was to get that next research grant with a generous stipend.
As one author put it (can't remember who), "Good thinkers are rare. Good doers are rarer. But the rarest of all is a great thinker-doer -- a person like an Elon Musk. Cutting our population robs us of those great thinker-doers!
You comment makes me think…there are countries out there that have a lot of "grinds"—hardworking high-IQ people, but they are not known for innovating, but rather for copying the innovations of elsewhere. I wonder why that is…
Fewer people equals fewer competitors for resources. The plan is to depopulate, consolidate control and ownership of resources and enslave whoever survives.
It should always be considered a possibility that the result of a policy was the goal of the policy.
Oh yes. When faced with the question of whether stupidity or evil is behind a government action, my money is always on evil.

Yes, that's exactly it!

They may find those of us who remain not so easily cowed.
The flaw in their plan is they are only getting rid of the gullible and stupid people.
I think they thought they we be able to handle the rest of us.
They thought wrong.
To a significant degree, yes.
