What are we going to do with humanity?

We only have a few shining stars propping up the masses. Most people are really stupid, gullible, paranoid, violent, superstitious, selfish, slothful.

Moving onto the future, what are we supposed to do with the masses? It would be "nice" if everyone would work to better ourselves alla StarTrek, but most people just don't give a shit.

We will have billions and billions of people who will contribute nothing, spread misery, commit crime, terrorism and hold back progress with their antiquated ideas (Islam for example).

Humanity will hold itself back from a scientific utopia. What do we do?

War. The smart ones are in positions important enough to not be mobilized.

Under secrecy, genetically engineer superior beings. Then, through wars and stuff kill off most humans.

No, they only separates the rich from the poor. All you have to do is meet a few rich people to see how stupid they are.

How do you elevate humanity without killing most of it off? Taking a genocidal approach won't work because it defeats the purpose. Less people won't solve this problem, just like cannibalism is a poor solution to hunger and survival.

>utopia

You can't even get 5 people to agree on toppings without someone relenting. Thinking there can ever be a utopia is just fucking retarded.

>How do you elevate humanity without killing most of it off?

Sterilizing people.

Mass death doesn't have to happen over night. It can be slow and gradual: as long as select cultures, systems, traditions, genes, ideologies are erased.

A scientific utopia would be a boring uneventful world no challenge no reward.

>You can't even get 5 people to agree on toppings without someone relenting. Thinking there can ever be a utopia is just fucking retarded.
no war, working towards scientific advancement, human development index rising, medical advances, the Malthusian trap ending, etc.

I'm not looking for everything to be "perfect" here.
>It can be slow and gradual: as long as select cultures, systems, traditions, genes, ideologies are erased.
that kind of approach is dangerous. Imagine if Saudi Arabia were in charge.

>humanity without killing most of it off
The only way there can be a utopia is if humanity as we know it is out of the equation.
