Eugenics isn’t a stupid idea on the face of it, but then you look at where our dog breeding has gone…
The good news is that humans are pretty adaptable already. The only things that really definitely could sink us are our inability to react to very abstract, gradual problems and our tribalism.
The funny thing is that a lot of those problems are better attributed to society/culture/education than genetics or biology, since it’s people that vote/support other people. Unless you can somehow breed out psychopaths, and whatever makes people willing to sacrifice the collective for personal gain, from the human species, eugenics won’t do shit.

Eugenicists are the only people who should be barred from reproduction tbh
Eugenics is the single stupidest idea in human history. To advocate for it now is to deny biology and history.
It relies on the same misunderstanding of evolution that underpins ‘great replacement theory’.
I agree with you but only on Eugenics being automatically downvoted. Look, I did it!

The assignment was to state a topic. Not advocate for it.
