You realize that quote describes *beliefs* held by progressives and makes no specific claim about the nature or even existence of sex diffs? Here is the quote in full. If there is any eugenics there, it ain't in that quote:pic.twitter.com/HkgXiN6CIu

It always starts like that, doesn’t it? Until the inferior people refuse your anti-dysgenic program. Then the greater men must think of “saving” “Western Civilization.” If our utter existence needs really needs saving, you’re talking about mass or state control, in the end.
My anti-dysgenics program? I am literally just talking about removing rules making IVF selection illegal, and state funding it. This is already the norm in e.g. Iceland and Denmark, but e.g. German and Swedish regulations are strict. No need to try to make things sound ominous.

Did you ever provide data on this point? IVF is such a tiny number of pregnancies that only a few ubermenchen would ensue.
-
Further presuming that not all IVF babies will be selected for their master race-ness, how would, say, a cohort of 25% IVF super babies save the world? They’d still have to live in a world inhabited by us untermenchen.

Yes, what kind of influence have the top 25% of a society ever had.

We already live in a world with a genetic elite. There is nothing new in this ivf except making faster progress. Imagine if the world's top scientists were much smarter, that's where we are going.

This sounds like dialogue from one of the poorer-quality James Bond films.

So Emil, did you actually author the post on child molesters? If so, what was your intent?

"Legal IVF or Western civilization dies."
That seems...credible. -
It's like you don't read history. Civilizations come and go. We are in the decline of the Western one. It's possible that ancient civilizations came and went for reasons of genetics, with cycles between eugenic and dysgenic periods. That's what my tweet refers to. Cliodynamics.

What are the signs we are in decline? Pinker says the world is wealthier, healthier and happier than its ever been. Oh—“brown people.”

You're not very good at engaging with ideas honestly. I am sure 5 mins of googling will find any plenty of reviews of various indicators of decline.
