        Unprecedented levels of illogical wtfuffery here. I mean, the 100-tweet “let’s talk game theory” thread that contained no game theory did not, in aggregate, wtfuff as hard as steps 1-3 here.

        Much like the elites of old it's going to end in a lot of kids with deformities and unusual bleeding disorders

        Even accepting the first two points as true (which, uh…) it’s really telling that “let’s engineer the master race” is preferred to “let’s increase immigration, provide education opportunities, and improve the social safety net.”

        I find it very interesting that the solution to competition with China is eugenics and not education. Is this them doubling down on the idea of meritocracy?

        We don't have the data we'd need, even if every other technical and ethical issue disappeared.
