for higher levels
in fact, it may be the opposite
at least today
yes
yes people will k-select themselves out of genetic relevance
and that problem does not solve the population expansion of undesirables
but before industrial revolution we were only breeding high iq people
it just doesn't
they will just breed
because they can
the Chinese actually have a fairly organic eugenic system
only in hard times do the upper class survive while the lower class is wiped out. like the black death. now most english people are related to one of the kings, since all the poor people died off.
due to the shortage of women
the problem, as i see it, is that high social status in an affluent society is a novel environment that is mismatched to the evolutionary environment
for cultural reasons and government policy
the evolutionary environment that selected their genes
but that is rapidly becoming not the case anymore
not been the case since the IR
it seems like being materially wealthy and comfortable should result in more kids
infant mortality rates bombed
it doesn't
it really just doesn't
they need high stress, disease, lots of pproblems
at least in the west
yeah the industrial revolution has made it possible for people to survive that would have died off.
struggle
and that is a big reason why we need government
humans require a struggle
life is conflict
would the situation be less dysgenic without welfare and such things?
of course it would
maybe
but it would still be dysgenic
too much soo
probably
*so
deadly amount
not necessarily
wtf am I reading
it's funny when people say technology can be used for good and for bad... lol because technology literally made the population boom that will kill us all in the end 😄 so sad
