And in 100 years people will criticize you as well.
What your generation did to the environment, biodiversity, the climate, will be offensive to them.
Maybe you said something in favor or against AI and that then backfires. Because if AI is used to dominate humanity tech people who made it possible will be the most hated.
Or who knows, maybe you ate an animal or used too many kWh in your house.

- big-green-man 2y agoIt's pure hubris to assume you know what the concerns and cultural fads will be important to people of the future. You don't know what they'll care about any more than I do.

- g15jv2dp 2y agoSo the eugenist should get a pass because I myself may be criticized in the future? That's bonkers. Two wrongs don't make a right.

- 29athrowaway 2y agoEugenics started by trying to transfer the lessons of selective animal breeding to people. IQ measurements had a connection with eugenics, and low IQ individuals were targetted... in the US. We know IQ is inheritable but IQ is influenced by many factors like pollution and nutrition. The approach was very pseudoscientific in nature.
