I tend to agree given the source material, but having worked in Norway for several months, there's still an underlying warning: even socialist societies need capable leadership. Even more so since so much is delegated to the state. if you start producing a mass of, well, spoiled brats, you won't be able to successfully replace your leadership, or potentially fall into a technocratic oligopoly.

I really don't. Humanity is so successful because it's the ultimate generalist, being able to adapt to environments very different from the ones it initially evolved in.
And it did so by having a very large degree of genetic variety, with several interbreeding episodes between human species.

Specialists thrive in stable eras, but generalists survive though crisis, we should never take steps that reduce the random variation of our collective genome, that's the ultimate stupid move to do as a species.

I also concur that this is probably another attempt from a small elite to give themselves a Hapsburg jaw, so maybe we should actually encourage it. Less work for the guillotine when the time comes.
