_no way to improve society_

Making the average human tougher, faster, stronger, and smarter would be a big advantage to the species.

You don't even need to have sterilization or anything, just give tax credits to high IQ people for each kid they have.

That’s astounding

It honestly is a question of quality of life

Is the fetus going to survive

Implementing existing mutations should be a relatively simple process

@Benis that’s not how humans work

Also, that’s not eugenics

That is classic eugenics

And IQ has nothing to do with genetic defects

There's more to eugenic policy than sterilization

It’s like you guys just look at shit as a 1+1 problem.

Raising national IQ should be the goal of any eugenic policy

Oh fuck I'm not touching the IQ-genetics debate with a ten foot pole

...

Jesus Christ

🍿

Time for the weekly rofl moon debate

nah fam it's the benis-runes debate now

I'm not saying we should sterilize low IQ people, but we should incentivize high IQ people to have kids.

I just want to make everybody literal ubermensch.

How do you propose that?

Next it’s gonna be phrenology

Benis

Subsidies or loans that get paid off with each child, a classic way to raise birthrates

So where does that money come from

Benis, you know smart people can have really fucking stupid children with alarming frequency, right?

But... that’s not how people work

Tax dollars of course

And that’s not how genetics works

^

And that’s not how anything works

@RoflTank I know, it's the regression towards the mean

Benis that has got to be the dumbest thing I've heard

Are you denying the link between genes and intelligence

It’s a very small part of the equation

Also, I know plenty of very intelligent people who are utter idiots

There is a link but it plays a very small role

Incorrect, it's most of the equation

Not true
