So when Emil Kirkeguaard said "Eugenics or Western civilization dies. Choose wisely," that's what he was referring to. Jonny Anomaly, who writes for Quillette, favors eugenics, but I don't know if he's ever written about that in Quillette.

Where did Kirkeguaard say that? Just curious.

Referring to embryo selection, genetic engineering etc., not "state controls who breeds" old school stuff which I oppose.

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.

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.

I thought your tweet was only about state-funded legal IVF. It would appear it is about a lot more than that after all, which is kind of what people were saying.

It's like you don't read my tweet, but make all sorts of extra readings between the lines. I am literally saying that if we sponsor IVF and leave choosing up to the parents without restrictions on traits, we will be fine with regards to combating dysgenic decline.

That's not what you literally *said* though is it? Happy to see you revise your statement though. If only it could reach your same audience. Now if only we can get you to revise the racism stuff, but I'll settle for some slight progress
