    Seems we'd genetically engineer traits of our kids the way we do dogs. We want fun, docile creatures. @tylercowenhttps://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-08-24/the-drive-for-perfect-children-gets-a-little-scary …

        we already made radical change to human biological process with birth control. no negative health or iq effects at population levels.

        passive population changes will be a bigger worry than active issues. humans historically have made the right choices for themselves.

        appropriate comparison, since dog breeding has also had unintended consequences (e.g., bulldogs’ chronically poor health)

        Funny, I want them tall, strong, smart, healthy, and wild as Conan the Barbarian. What kind of pussy would want a "fun, docile" one?

        I would say we want tall, healthy, high IQ, athletic, self-disciplined creatures.

        hmm, the sea-steading Straussian libertarians getting queasy about personal reproductive choice. Perhaps they were tribalists all along.
