If one makes the assumption that professional generally equates to more intelligence/motivation, then society will be come bottom heavy in a couple of generations.
God knows how society will then decide who gets what, maybe some rotation system combined with a lottery, or an advanced rep system.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Eventually even gene choices will become less relevant, as people will probably be able change their characteristics temporarily "on the hoof", for example acquiring black skin for a month or two while visiting Africa on holiday and later changing it back after they return.Work in the public sector?
