Universal Humanism is doomed by the fact that its object of ethical commitment is falling off a dysgenic cliff. Eventually, washing lepers' feet in sackcloth and ashes is all that's left.

Does this mean you're no longer confident that assortative mating based on SES can provide an insulated breeding ground for superhumans with face tentacles? Or is this critique strictly aimed at the withering of a Universal Humanist utopia?

The latter. The "insulation" is, of course, precisely the point at issue. Systematic fragmentation of species destiny.

Yes, interesting. It's continually fascinating to me how much of this is already contained in Nietzsche's late nachlass fragments, like WP 898. Do you think his late thought has any obvious deficiencies on these issues, or is it still proving to be a philosophy of the future?
