Ridding the world of ugly people would do to beautiful people what creating a machine that makes stunning artworks would do to art. It would make it standard, mediocre, average, mundane, and boring.
They say that 99% of music is rubbish, but I say that's what makes the 1% pure ecstacy. We are only reminded that something is special if we see little of it, or do not have it at all. That is what is so ironic. We take for granted the miracles that are standard... life, the universe, our technology, our transport, and the world we live on... We see it, use it, and experience it so much that we no longer notice it...
Can you imagine something like that happening to something as wonderous as beauty? Can you imagine what a crime it would be to standardise something that so deserves to be as special as it is? I can... and I don't like it.
