@Blackmailman By its very nature Eugenics is playing God. That was his point.

@CortxVortx It's beautiful isn't it? He encapsulates the restrained outrage of reason we feel in our bones although we, now, cannot guess the horrors of what happened there.

I have watched many documentaries on the concentration camps and World War II, but nowhere have I found a more heartfelt and lucid summation of that time. This is a truly great, and I mean GREAT, series of documentaries. They just do not make them like this anymore.

RIP Jacob Bronowski

Just try to watch this without tears.

the knowledge of Gods - absolute knowledge, dogma, men behaving like Gods...

[Blackmailman]

When they aspire to the knowledge of Gods?

Now I'm not Religious, but weren't the concentration camps a Eugenics movement?

Otherwise his message is great.
