      For one thing humans take a LONG time to rear to sexual maturity compared to most other mammals (we are a highly neotenous species) So your imaginary human farm could be as evil and monstrous as you want and the time horizons would still keep it from workinghttps://twitter.com/christapeterso/status/1229267548300021760 …

      ok everything everyone else already said but also like... actual eugenics proposals do not approach the level of reproductive control used in the selective breeding of livestock ?? Do Wright and Dawkins think a human stud farm would “of course work in practice” https://twitter.com/SwipeWright/status/1229059035401465871 …

      The real life eugenicists were mostly deluding themselves They were talking about seeing real, major changes in genetics after like two or three reproductive generations, which is nonsense

      To go several generations deep you'd need a "breeding program" on the order of centuries, which no one has really achieved except maybe the ancient aristocratic families, and we see it didn't do them very much good

          (The flip side of this is people who don't work with animals don't realize how fucked up the process of creating a new animal breed is, and it relies on the fact that most animal "generations" are a year or less)

          If I get a cat with an interesting shaped face I can burn through ten generations of breeding that cat's kittens with each other (and throwing away all the incest-generated kittens with genetic diseases) and create a new breed well within the original's lifetime

          The Onion had that joke article about this, how human babies are so useless compared to any other animal A one-year-old cat, dog, horse, etc are all ready to survive on their own in the wild, a one-year-old human can't even feed itself

          Yep... inbreeding is a bad idea. At least where humans are concerned. Genetic diversity leads to better outcomes.
