Now—I think you and I can both agree that it is highly probable that, almost regardless of the ultimate goal, pursuing a nation wide strategy of “putting away” thousands of intellectuals (and doing this by using “methods” as crude as rounding up anyone who wears glasses, say...) is virtually guaranteed to be a dumb objective.
I do not agree. Morality (ethics) is orthogonal to intelligence (strategy).
Mmmyes well while your theoretical framework may be sound, such an outcome is almost certainly not. I’d be willing to agree that it is not impossible such a step might, in the most uncommon of circumstances be part of an otherwise sound strategy/goal. Intelligence without morality is neither.
