Genetic egalitarianism is the current zeitgeist-ish fad. There’s no opting out of the game.

Ok let’s see 1. Genetic egalitarianism is the current fad 2. Eugenics is a tool of society 3. If eugenics were pervasive in our society, it would be used to amplify genetic egalitarianism — not to counter it.

1 and 2 are correct. No need for “would,” 3 is already happening, to damn near the greatest extent possible. Immigration and the welfare state are de facto dysgenic policies.
-
The rub: since our current society can’t enforce genuinely intelligenic eugenics, we need a new society
-
I have persistent nightmares of woke westie SJW types using eugenics to “engineer out” aggression from male babies. If you’re not worried about such a possibility, just look around.
-
I’m really not worried about that. The Powers That Be are not going to last long enough to implement dystopian Soy-genics.

The crude Darwinian perspective here us that some of the most high-IQ societies in the world (the West) produce individuals who are profoundly stupid about basic human function and biology. Maybe these societies deserve to disappear.
-
Well, that comes down to a value judgement. I’m interested in e.g. building a general AI and colonizing the galaxy, so I’ll happily settle for soulless 200 IQ drones that have bad sex.

One the one hand, I am pro-tech (more pro-space than pro-AI tbh). On the other hand, it seems to be an objective fact that people who don’t have a lot of sex are responsible for some of the most oppressive totalitarian societies out there.
