      Your hypothetical: "If a woman wants to have babies with the smartest and most attractive man she can find..." I'm trying to extract the reason why. Some of the reasons seem to me like they'd conceivably be creepy; others, not. That's what I'm trying to unmix.

      "Eugenics" is a CONSCIOUS BELIEF SYSTEM It's not a general description of things that happen in the world, and by diluting it down like that you're engaging in Scott's favorite fallacy, the motte-and-bailey fallacy

      Moreover, the statement that "everyone engages in eugenics *whether or not they know it*" is itself an expression of the eugenicist belief system and therefore not falsifiable except by falsifying eugenics itself

      It's like a Christian saying "Even the unbelievers in their perversity give glory to God" It's vacuous nonsense

      If I actually took your assertion seriously then *everything* is eugenics and "dysgenics" does not exist The human brain is an evolved, deterministic system like everything else in the world and all of it is just evolution working itself out, including me saying I'm against it

      lol no I’ve never claimed that “everything” is eugenics. Dysgenics exist as well. Contraception is basically dysgenics. And that second thing looks like a gibberish mix of genetic determinism with agency bypassing and.....just very unclear and odd

      Yeah no this is MRA/HBD/alt-right standard shit They believe that "attractiveness = genetic fitness" and everyone operates on the same evolutionarily determined attractiveness scale, and therefore having sex with the hottest person you can is "unconsciously practicing eugenics"

      Which is how you wind up with peacocks, which have grossly impractical tail feathers that make them considerably worse at flying and other practical stuff, due to too much selection based on what peahens find attractive rather than actual survival traits.

      Yes, whether "sexual selection" of this kind actually has a long term effect of "maximizing fitness" rather than just being a garden path evolution goes down is a very complicated topic that these people have very stupid basic takes one

          Look at how quickly certain purebred dog breeds have gone from working dogs to literally being unable to function properly without medical attention due to our selective breeding. That's a pretty damning condemnation of our ability to maximise fitness by selecting for traits.

          People always jump to distantly related animals with weak kin selection, no pack dynamics, and no generational knowledge transfer. It’s weird. Look at animals that have those and Sexy Son clearly doesn’t matter as much.
