You want moral clarity? You want intelligent? You want rational? Try
this, from Lila, Chap. 24:
"And this is a war in which intellect, to end the paralysis of society, has
to know whose side it is on, and support that side, never undercut it.
Where biological values are undermining social values, intellectuals
must identify social behavior, no matter what its ethnic connection, and
support it all the way without restraint. Intellectuals must find biological
behavior, no matter what its ethnic connection, and limit or destroy
destructive biological patterns with complete moral ruthlessness, the
way a doctor destroys germs, before those biological patterns destroy
civilization itself."
Clear, cogent, conclusive.
