Let us look at who are the most sophisticated people: criminals (especially scammers), the military, law-enforcement agencies, lawyers, accountants and advertisers.

Sophistication is nearly synonymous with cunning, using wit to gain the upper hand, whether that be over other people or over nature.

This essentially excludes two groups:

1) The incapable and/or lazy who fail to improve their situation.
2) Those who are peaceful, happy and content, thus have no desire to compete or grab.

Some comments praised the sophisticated as better while others claimed that the unsophisticated are better, yet I claim that the sophisticated are middling - they are better than the lazy, but the contented are better than the sophisticated.

Sophistication can achieve measurable success, but it cannot give or allow peace of mind.

Technically, Aboriginality can be determined by DNA testing. Practically, at this time, its difficult because most of the testing agencies lack sufficient verified aboriginal DNA to make valid assessments. But that could be resolved in very short order.

The same problems existed for AmerIndians before they (the Indians) realised the benefits of weeding out the imposters and therefore ensured the testing agencies had sufficient genome samples to test against.

But returning to Pascoe, DNA is surplus to needs. Pascoe originally claimed that he was aboriginal on his mother's side. His great grandmother was Koori, he said, born in Dudley, Victoria. Instead, he later discovered, she was actually born in Dudley, England and was a rooly-trooly POM. Never mind, because Pascoe then 'discovered' that he was aboriginal on his father's side, the evidence for which is, shall we say, rather sparce.

As an aboriginal on SBS said of these fake aboriginals (ABBAriginals), "they are making money from our misery".

How many Pascoe's will still on the Voice?

Wait there,

How do we know the self professed "genuine" Aboriginals are not really the "fake" Aboriginals masquerading as the "genuine" Aboriginals to exclude the "genuine" "genuine" Aboriginals who the "fake" "genuine" Aboriginals want to 'kick out' for no other reason than they are "fake" "fake" Aboriginals masquerading as "genuine" "genuine" Aboriginals. Is that clear?

I do believe there has been exhaustive research done by Professor Nincompoop on behalf of the 'Institute Of Outer Galactic Studies" on this very subject. The good professor was able to place 20 willing volunteers into an oven at 2000 degrees C for 24 hours. After the elapsed time the good professor unequivocally declared that the subjects were all indeed, BLACK! Who needs DNA!

Paul, you are an idiot when discussing a serious topic.

Jose,

The notion that Aboriginal people should have another humiliation heaped upon them by being forcibly tested to prove their "Aboriginality" to the satisfaction of bigoted red necked racists like yourself is abhorrent to me. Deserving of nothing less than ridicule!

BTW, What would you do with those that refused to be tested? Hummmmm!
