Quoted By:
scientific advancement and achievement would obviously be a good society's ultimate goal, so the intellectual class, particularly those well-trained in the STEM fields, would be fully utilized, they would be employed 16 hours a day doing the most advanced and taxing research possible, and then housed communally where they will be expected to use their leisure time studying or will lose privileges. this will require constant observation. the most capable of these workers will be selectively "bred," with focus being on intellectual ability and secondly endurance and obedience, disregarding all physical characteristics. of course the duties of fertilization, pregnancy, and family rearing would obviously be done by outsiders. everyone else would essentially be free to enjoy the benefits accrued by the intellectual class and everything would be run by capable philosophers, kept separate from the worker drones, who would be kept in opulent comfort as to not disturb their ethical and political reasoning, and to attract willing mates as to spread their seed widely and combine the twin goods of wisdom and aesthetics to the benefit of the rest.
