"How dare you call us eugenicists!"
Is that top reply from Scott? And is he really saying that what is holding eugenics back for now is ethical concerns?
Best way to do it would be adding some genetic fitness signalling to internet dating.
Yeah, I may look like a serial killer and my political views would make Hitler blush, but check out my genes, baby!
Indeed, super casual. Disturbingly so.
"2 of the triplets can't read at grade level; the plus 5 IQ option didn't deliver enough utils in my Monte Carlo simulation."
How many rounds of IVF is the poor pregnant partner, inevitably a cis woman, meant to do? Isn't IVF infamously fucking gruelling, requiring injections and ending in miscarriages? Is her husband going to make her feel like shit for refusing to make being pregnant her full time job? A massive amount of reproductive labour is just being taken for granted here.
And if these EAers refuse, the reproductive labour just gets passed on to other women. Grimes didn't want to have another kid with Elon (aren't they nonbinary? I'm sure it might have caused them dysphoria) so Elon persuaded one of his fucking employees into doing IVF and being their surrogate because it's important for smart people to have kids. (Source)
Reproductive rights - never more important!
I'm just going to pretend that this thread was instead about IV breeding Pokemon. I don't need to see a casual expression of some of humanity's worst ideas on Reddit.
Do not give SSC a water stone.
they will not stop until everything organic can be machine readable
Uggggghhhhhhhhhhhh
Should really be doing screen shots or an archive link so we're not driving traffic to reddit.
That said, fucking wot?
Is "polygenic" a real word or is a SSC shibboleth?
It's a real term, meaning "influenced by multiple genes", but who knows what weird baggage SSC have around it.
