I went to see Gattaca after watching the Daily Show last week and ended up crying. Because only humans with ordinary intelligence and ugly looks can understand such a world. For those beautiful humans, it's all too simple.
So when you wash up and go to work, we have to spend half an hour cleaning our bodies and faces at home, so as not to go out and make others sick. While you're feasting on all kinds of ice-cream roasts every day, we've got to count the calories carefully and only eat a little. When you take off your clothes casually in the summer, it is a toned muscle, we have to practice for half an hour every day for half a year.
So we can swim farther than you, not because our bodies are better, our bodies are terrible. Just because you saved your energy and gave up, we never thought of swimming back. When you saw us running on the treadmill like no one else, you couldn't see us nearly fainting in the locker room.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately, but also understand that at least I have average intelligence, and many people don't. Therefore, we believe that all our genetic advantages should belong to the Public Common, and the more we get from innate, the more we should return.
