There's this discussion going around in science circles about the question of, separate from ethics, eugenics would "work" in the sense of selecting for traits. I don't wanna even dip a pinky in this on twitter, but I do have a technical question:

Wrong conclusion. Of course (with some regression to the mean) tall people are more likely to have tall kids. No one is questioning banal observations about hereditary.

Heredity works but it's probabilistic so it doesn't work when you add more examples - this is due to the central limit theorem /sarc
