if I were a single billionaire I'd set up a 1,000 acre compound in Wyoming or something, and then pay hundreds of women to be surrogates 200% serious https://twitter.com/mims/status/1040666277696729090 …

So long as there are kids awaiting adoption, this whole practice of manufacturing kids needs to stop.

No. High IQ, high conscientiousness kids are much better than average quality kids. How do I know? I've fostered some kids waiting for adoption.

Not the point. We're talking about caring for already-existing human beings vs. creating human beings who will need care, too. Can't write off kids who already exist for the sake of hypothetical "better kids".

I tried to help kids with low IQ, low conscientiousness, ADHD, PTSD, RAS. It was impossible. It is entirely sane to want ones own children, and not deeply damaged kids w bad genes. God bless anyone who decides otherwise, of course!

It's not a rule that all children given up for adoption are "deeply damaged". And they're still human beings who need care whether they're going to be difficult or not. So if one can't create one's own biological children naturally, then these existing children should come first.

Yep, they are human beings. Yep, they need care. However, I have learned FROM EXPERIENCE that dealing with someone else's low IQ, low conscientiousness normie children is hell for me.

Okay, then either make your own, don't have kids, or find a high-IQ kid to adopt.

1) yes, you have exactly enumerated the choices, in the same way that saying "integers between 1 and 3 include 1, 2, and 3" 2) Your ethics may work for you but they are not mine.

It's not about whether my ethics "work" for me. If my ethics don't get me what I want, I don't therefore modify them. Getting what you want is not the point of ethics.

Agreed. Poor word choice on my part; I meant "work" as in "seem correct". They do not seem correct to me.
