    The guy has Asperger syndrome, from the get go he’s not the pinnacle of human genetics…

      WTF is that supposed to mean? First of all Asperger’s is named after a literal Nazi, we don’t call it that anymore. Second of all, plenty of autistic people have kids and relationships and are very happy. This comes off ableist as fuck

      Eugenics in is the garbage heap of history for this kind of thinking. Evolution is never ‘done’ and there are no perfect people, there is no ubermench, no Superman, and no Pinnnacle of human genetics, you could be born cut and discovering new fields of math and science by 8, then die of a congenital heart defect at 26. You can live 110 years fully functional and never develop past the intellectual benchmarks of a 7 year old. There’s no perfect. No one’s genes are ‘good’ or ‘bad’ only more typical or less typical, and typical can be a lot better than less typical in some categories, much worse in others. One of my kids started talking at 6mon. Like full on sentences. She developed very early. So it’s she a genius? She’s very smart, she hits all her benchmarks at school. But no, she’s not moving up in grades or anything, early development isn’t superior development, that’s a big misconception. What you think a perfect human is won’t match what others think. The more you learn about human biology, the more your going to learn that the statics can’t be boiled down to RPG stats. It’s millions of factors and what is good or best is entirely subjective.
