The Experiment
A thought experiment about producing the highest percentage of intellectuals and great minds.
The purpose of this experiment is to produce the highest percentage of intellectuals and great minds within a small population. It is highly unethical and probably should not be attempted in a real world environment, or maybe it should be. The experiment entails myself, a self proclaimed intellectual, and ten highly intelligent and athletic women who will be willing to give me ten children each and help raise them. A staff of appropriate numbers of doctors, dietitians, professors, teachers, psychologists, nurses, chefs, physical instructors, scientists, nannies, and butlers will be required.
These members will assist my concubines and I to create super human, intellectually geared, athletically charged members of society. From birth till the ages of twenty, they will be implemented in a strict regime established by the various scholars and psychologists to create the most bright and noble winning humans imaginable. Their education, diets, psychical activity, and most importantly, their levels of enjoyment will be closely monitored to produce the smartest and happiest people. The concubines and I will do our best to provide love and affection for the Benjamin Franklin cohort of future worldly leaders. Only the top scholars and intellectuals will help raise these children and the various activities which we will employ will broaden their horizons continually. They will travel the world and learn about the world firsthand, and in our school, they will be taught everything humanly possible. To strengthen the external validity and to test the nature v nurture hypothesis I postulate we take one hundred children from various orphanages and place them in the program with my children. Not only will this allow my children to have possible intimate relationships with the other children when older, it will purvey a more natural environment.
My theory is that a perfect environment, education, oversight, genetics, nutrition, activities, and happiness will produce a higher percentage of overall successful people, on a statistically significant difference or an order of a magnitude more impressive than any other school and program ever made. I will create the Übermensch.

Why do you think so highly of yourself?? Since there really is no proof that you are any better than anyone else, you really are not essential to this experiment.
