Eugenics has two side - discouraging certain people to have fewer (or no) children and encouraging others to have more. We seem to be obsessed with the fewer side and don’t look much at the more side.
The most powerful eugenics force in history is the modern education system. It is extremely effective in identifying those with high levels of abstract reasoning and strongly discouraging them from having children. Gets very little attention outside of documentaries masquerading as comedies.
