What’s crazy to me is that eugenics is largely sound… It’s literally a forbidden branch of science not because it’s unscientific, but because our species can’t be trusted with it
So much so that it becomes worthless. Elon Musk is doing his best to spread his genetics, even inappropriately offering up his sperm to female employees… He thinks he’s one of humanities best and brightest. The kedamine addicted failed programmer turned conman, a guy so insecure he faked being good at video games and has created nothing himself, thinks his genes need to be spread far and wide
We are animals, we can indeed be bred for traits like animals, but we’re so bad at evaluating ourselves we literally cannot use this branch of science
Science is a tool.
20th century facists used eugenics (which was considered scientifically sound at the time) to argue for genociding disabled people.
With the small caveat that eugenics is not scientific.
It was an extremist interpretation of mendelian genetics. But it was a near dominant view among geneticists at the time.
