But do eugenics. Make sure to select for intelligence, health, strength, psychological stability, beauty, social acceptance.

why? i mean what is the function for what and what should be the model for it?
imagine a society of yorkshireterrier who will do eugenics. wouldn´t they transform even a wolf concerning their idea of intelligence, physiology, psychology, appearance etc. till it becomes a yorkshireterrier?

thanks to @g3reth a great important question concerning a similar problem was :

Even though capitalism may not be perfect, it’s the best system that we have. It’s good at leveraging collective intelligence and encourages people to work for the collective good, even when they think they only pursue their own individual interests. Capitalism is really good at creating wealth. The problems that seem to be caused by capitalism are usually much more pronounced in other systems. What I think is best about capitalism is that it incentivizes people to create progress, whether they want or not.

@Radivis

Right, it does not. But to some degree, it does. And to the degree that it does, it gets a lot of things right, and some wrong.

how could you be so sure about that? when you agree with @ZeUs statement, that reality and the capitalistic market differ, it could be possible, that all the things that went right are due to peoples own initiatives apart from capitalism, and all, what went wrong, are only consequences of capitalism. and it might be possible, that the best things we experience now, would not vanish, if we get rid of capitalism. but it would not be easy to sort that out. only if we understand the core elements and flaws of capitalism.
