-------------------
Anytime the principles of equality and egalitarianism are challenged I will  
speak.
No one deserves to be put into a caste that segregates one group from  
another, no matter how minor that would appear to be superficially.
 
Seperating some, with the rule of law, into special classes is exactly what  
Ayn spoke against, and much more vocally than I.  It is what Orwell spoke  
against as well.  Once you create a power-based for one class of people,  they 
tend to accumulate more power over time without restriction.
 
And yes there is a very simple method of countering this.  Whether it  takes 
10 times the CPU cycles should be irrelevant.  If CPU cycles are put  ahead of 
human beings in our projects, then we've already lost.
 
So yes, it's a big deal.  Just the idea that people can contemplate  that it 
isn't... that is also a big deal.
 
Each human participant is far more important than any computer  system.
