The Future of Life

Jacques Attali argues that overpopulation will need to be addressed by reducing the population starting with the elderly, then the weak and useless, and ultimately the stupid. He claims euthanasia will be an essential tool to convince these groups it is for their own good. Attali also suggests causing pandemics or economic crises to target certain groups, ensuring treatment is available that the fearful will seek, allowing the selection of idiots to take care of itself.

Jacques Attali, 1981, advisor to François Mitterrand:

”The future will be about finding a way to reduce the population.


We start with the old, because as soon as they exceed 60-65 years,
people live longer than they produce and that costs society dearly.
Then the weak, then the useless that do not help society because
there will always be more of them, and above all, ultimately, the
stupid.

Euthanasia will have to be an essential tool in our future societies,


in all cases. Of course we will not be able to execute people or build
camps.

We get rid of them by making them believe that it is for their own
good. Overpopulation, and mostly useless, is something that is too
costly economically.

Socially, too, it is much better when the human machine comes to


an abrupt standstill than when it gradually deteriorates.

Neither will we be able to test millions upon millions of people for


their intelligence, you bet that! We will find or cause something a
pandemic targeting certain people, a real economic crisis or not, a
virus affecting the old or the fat, it doesn't matter, the weak will
succumb to it, the fearful and stupid will believe in it and seek
treatment. We will have made sure that treatment is in place,
treatment that will be the solution. The selection of idiots then
takes care of itself: You go to the slaughter by yourself."
