Alberto reminds me [or Aldous, take yer pick] of an issue I have been considering. It seems, and geneticists will correct me if I'm wrong, that potential has little to do with *direct* heritage. That is, if your parents are dwarfs, your children may be tall, may be giants.
Therefore, and this is tre-obvious, an education system that is fair, balanced, and allows for social improvement is required. The Booker scheme ain't bad, and I was using it as a start, but formal education is the goal and always has been the goal. Duh.
