Hmm I'm not that political so I guess I meant that as a bit of a cop-out like "I'm not too far that way, and not too far the other way. So all those that are too far from me will die." Nut jobs do exist at every point on the political spectrum I'm sure.

Maybe I'd change it to just those persons of whatever political stripe would be most inclined to want to 'boss people around and tell them what to do' (a phrase I heard used in a book or something). And the psychopaths/sociopaths, those with zero empathy for others. The easily offended could disapear too.

I dunno, mainly I wanted to mention the kids/dogs thing. But setting the dial to a certain percentage and having the 'extremely not my type' people disappear would be an interesting thought experiment. For a generation or two we'd have less extremes of behavior perhaps, then be back to square 1.

In truth I'd set it to zero and walk away. The 'law of unintended consequences' scares the heck outta me. And I'm not a killer. There's that.
