@RojoLoco Genetic diversity is needed for a species to advance though. That means everyone is valuable.
I'm certainly not suggesting this be decided along lines of location, ethnicity, nationality, or anything else like that. Genetic diversity can be achieved by taking the best and brightest from all countries and all races.

Given that DNA researches claim that racial diversity in the gene pool is so small that you can't even really find it (maybe they make that stuff up for political reasons, though) it would suggest that smart people might be more related to each other genetically than people of the same family or race to each other.
Now there is an interesting conundrum.

Not only are we the most inter-related family in America, we also are the population of the most inter-related city in America. Thankfully my wife is from a very different gene pool.
Before my wife passed away, I told everyone I had to marry a Texas girl because I'm related to everyone born in the county. One of those jokes that made everyone laugh till they actually thought about it.... yeah, I could tell how quickly they picked up on things by how long it took them to stop laughing the first time I used that line around them.

Yeah.. given that we are likely related, we share the same problem there.

Miller, Hershberger, Yoder, Beachy and a few others I'm forgetting at the moment, all inner-related, and constitutes the vast majority of the population around here.

Yup. Obviously my name is Miller. I'm from the Beachy Amish. Yoder is the biggest name in the family, Miller is a lesser branch. Hershberger sounds familiar but I'm not sure how close I have one in the tree.

I wish I had popcorn
-
My father in law makes popcorn every night in his full commercial popcorn machine. He's very into popcorn. Almost everyone in the family has a full size popcorn machine except for us, the homeless branch. He has a commercial snow cone machine too. And my sister in law has a commercial cotton candy machine.
