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.

Did you ever provide data on this point? IVF is such a tiny number of pregnancies that only a few ubermenchen would ensue.

It's not tiny and yes.https://twitter.com/KirkegaardEmil/status/1020801742584385536?s=19 …

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.
