Buying Babies, or Sheep with an IQ
At most Universities in Australia
today, when one looks around the cafeteria, study halls or lecture rooms, one
notices a predominance of Chinese faces peering back intently.
Australia
is a multicultural society so this is good. We are merging through our
education system with our largest trading partner.
But does the average Australian understand what the Chinese
contingent represent. To get here the
competition in China
is tremendous. The top 1% of the country’s students vie for an overseas
scholarship and every year 850,000 eager young students go forth to learn the
ways of the West.
It is a great honour to be chosen and the chosen may select
which country and what area of study they wish to apply themselves too.
The pressure to excel, once enrolled in our academic
infrastructure is high and Chinese students often lead the way with honours in
both pre and post graduate studies.
This entire system of sociological engineering has been
designed by the Chinese Government, not to keep our universities full of paying
(non-hex) students but to give China
a long term intellectual advantage on a global basis.
Social engineering can be likened to sheep farming, we’ve
written about sheep farming before.
Shepherds like their flock well fed and calm.
The better fed the flock are, the more fleece can be
removed.
The more fleece that is removed, the better fed the shepherd
is.
It’s the cycle of Life, Business and Government.
It’s a reasonably well known fact that if your flock regeneration
rate (birth rate) falls below 2.1% the financial viability of the flock is
called into question.
It may be that the pure Merino Flock needs some Romney stock
to beef up the numbers.
But of course, a good sheep farmer will know that mixing Romney
with Merino produces coarse unmanageable wool that is not so popular with the
wool buyers. In fact, it would appear that the more one indiscriminately mixes the various breeding stock,
the more unknown problems are introduced into the final quantities of mutton and wool.
Therefore the economic argument is – either maintain the
purity of the flock and suffer eventual extinction, or, import new breeding
stock to increase numbers and reproduction.
This was the problem in Australia
during WWII, and again in the eighties.
Zero Population growth.
So the Government opened the doors to immigration. After
all, a tax payer is a tax payer.
Unfortunately, PhD’s were given Taxi driver jobs, qualified
Doctors became nurses and generally, the immigrants were treated as if they
were all blue collar labour.
Is that what Australia
needs to move ahead economicaly? More blue collar labourers? Or do we need high
IQ educated people of all nationalities to create a utopian multi-cultural society
that will gain widespread acceptance in a global market looking for kindred
spirits to trade with.
But then the Government in it’s wisdom decided to start
paying for babies.
The question we have to ask ourselves is; “Who does the idea
of being paid for babies appeal too”?
Is it the same young people that don't realise that $4,000 dollars is only a very small part of the $280,000 needed to rear a child?
In the UK,
the “have five babies before you’re thirty will put you on easy street”, is an
established societal norm in certain parts of the country.
The parts of the country, that seem to turn out the lowest numbers
of “O” and “A” levels and subsequent degrees.
In Australia
we are close to encouraging the same sociological mistake created in the UK.
The poorer suburbs churning out the next generation, with no
infrastructure assured to be in place to mould the next generation into high
output individuals.
Actually, whilst I don’t necessarily agree with the concept
of paying for babies in preference to immigration; I do consider that if we
have to pay for them, let’s try to do so with an outcome in mind.
On that basis, I suggest a sliding scale, for the quality of
the offspring based on the IQ of the father (blue)
and the mother (pink)

Combined with acceptances at Australians leading academic
institutions for the offspring in the green zone
from Kindy – through Uni.
We should take a leaf out of the Chinese education system
and take the 1% of the best of the best and give them exactly the same thing
that the Chinese Government has given their brightest young stars. The
education that they want, anywhere in the world.
If we implemented a system
of social population engineering, we would become not just the lucky country,
but the clever one as well.
From the Tongue in cheek department – but again, only just.
