So in your view these people are inherently more 'great' than others? What would you call these people who are so above average? The over people? The overmen? The ubermensch.. oh whoops

Are you seriously trying to compare that statement to Nazi ideology?

Yes. I think that great artists and scientists and chefs and authors and teachers and those that work hard contribute more to society than others.

The Nobel prizes are being announced this week.

The work of Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman saved millions. Most people are not capable of that.

Yes I think subdividing humanity into the great people who perform all the work, and the lowly masses that exist to serve them is at the heart of Nazi ideology so I am making that comparison.

Wtf is wrong with you?

Why on earth is what I said any more Nazi than the OP's "most people suck at communicating"?

No one is saying anything remotely like what you're proposing.

Unless you're proposing some brave new world dystopia, some people will achieve more than others.
