Genetics isn't scientific racism, eugenics is. A huge chunk of psychometrics has a horrible history, closely linked to eugenics, and the people who study it haven't done the best job of unlinking the two.

Sure. I agree with that. But who is a eugenicist here? Scott?

Interpersonal eugenics is practiced by everyone. State imposed eugenics is morally problematic, but Scott doesn’t support that

If you genuinely decide to have kids because you think your genes are superior, I can't stop you, but you're an asshole, and if you actually say it I can call you one

That’s not what I mean or what he means. If a woman wants to have babies with the smartest and most attractive man she can find, is that wrong? Is that eugenics? No.

It's kind of creepy if she actually seriously believes that this will guarantee her kids to share the guy's positive qualities, especially intangible and indefinable ones like "intelligence"

No, actually, I think I get the point of all of this discourse really fucking well, and most of those low-IQ masses get it too, and you're just uncomfortable with the game-theoretic strategy we have opted for in responsehttps://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1275721667126460418?s=19 …

Several things you’ve said above demonstrate that you don’t know basic evolutionary theory.

Evolution is a lie, God created Adam and Eve from dust in the Garden of Eden in the year 4004 BC

Yup, just like seeking a mate with positive attributes doesn’t increase the likelihood that your offspring will have these attributes.

You embarrassingly tried to strawman it by using language like “this will guarantee her kids...”
