A long time ago, I remember reading this short story about a world where equality was not an ideal, it was enforced by law: thus athletic people would have to wear bags around their necks filled with sand, beautiful people would have to wear masks and smart people would have to wear headphones where a jolt of loud sound every few seconds would give them forced ADD.
Sounds like a world we want? What happened to the Newtonian Utopia where inquiry was held sacred, where people knew, somehow that thinking ennobles man? Read this article where a man was prevented from joining the police because he was too smart.
