Well, I guess eugenics is back... It was a nice 100 years.
Scary "Idiocracy" figures aside, this discussion is incomplete without the incel statistics. The data is relatively conclusive that anyone below a certain threshold has no chance of getting a date. I think you will find that all the eugenics you could possibly want is already happening, the "program" is being administered by everybody, and the social norms that permit it are unimpeachable.

- toolz 4y agoI'm sure you mean to sound scary with the word "eugenics" but this word is also the root cause of outlawing incest. Do you think we should legalize incest? I'd assume not, and that's quite literally a eugenics law, so no it was not 100 years ago that society agreed that eugenics in some forms was a good idea. It's very much alive today and the vast majority of people would argue that's a good thing. Of course, since I feel you've already tried to demonize my position I guess I'll go ahead and restate again that I don't know of a humane way to implement eugenics such that we end up with more children from wealthy families. So if you want to take a stab at understanding me in a more charitable light, you can take that to me all the scary ways you can think of incentivizing such behavior are things I would be against.
