The Racial Policy Office cited three biological factors which cause cultures to perish. The first was a decline in birthrate. This “weakens the national strength in the face of a somewhat stronger growing neighbor. It shifts the proportionate power of the two peoples so that the numerically weaker, despite potential inner superiority, will eventually be overwhelmed.” A 1937 article in Der Sch. observed, “today, the birthrate among practically all nations of the white race is declining perilously swiftly."
The second factor was a decrease in births among society’s more talented elements, versus a parallel increase in children from families exhibiting “mediocre or below average ability, character, or physical and mental endowment.One author blamed the policy in many democracies of “maintaining the weak and ignoring development of the strong” on the liberal perception that everything human is “unconditionally worth preserving." Der Schulungsbrief pointed out how regarding education in democratic states, the liberal administrator “groups the mentally deficient into small classes in special schools staffed by exceptionally proficient teachers. He then jams 50 to 60 talented and healthy youngsters together into classrooms that are too small due to budgetary constraints, and instructs them only in the basics.
Largely influenced by mankind’s more benevolent religions, sympathy for the weak or helpless has become a natural human emotion. Gross countered this with scientific arguments: “Decisive for the historic fate of a people is whether over the centuries, bloodlines of the loftiest and most gifted elements increase in number and in so doing elevate the nation, or ... in their place those bloodlines augment that are genetically inferior and unfit. The result will be that the outstanding talent will gradually disappear, while the less worthwhile will become dominant. Sooner or later that means the inevitable downfall of the civilization."
