Even if the answer to the first question were “genes predict 100% of academic performance differences”, I would still insist that eugenics policies are an unconscionable violation of the right to bodily autonomy.
What a fucking dweeb. What better way to illustrate that you’re an ivory basement weirdo with no skin in the game than to refer to eugenics / genocide as “a violation of the right to bodily autonomy.”
A violation was performed on the rights and autonomy of certain members of the population of our current society, which affects birth trends in an effort to create a new and better society than previously possible from genetic potential, based on our theories and understanding of inheritance.
I’m a little peeved that individuals with high IQs are often perceived to be inherently desirable under all circumstances. High IQ people are more likely to be frustrated by performing many tasks that are absolutely critical for a functioning society. “Dumb” people can be incredibly valuable.
:what-the-hell:
people who work on assembly lines are able to do it because they need money to live in a capitalist society, and so will take the available job. id hesitate to say theyre “fine” with it and are content only knowing how to do that thing. think about where you find factory work and what kind of condition the people who work there generally live in.
Yeah I don’t think saying people are “fine” with anything they do for work really overlooks that people are doing it to keep a roof over their head . Hell the whole ‘an intelligent person wouldn’t like X job’ totally glosses over the idea that jobs are not the only outlet of mental exercise.
Hi. I would like you to know that you’re an elitist asshole who loves the smell if their own farts.
Intelligence is NOT a good determiner of the kind of job you will do in society and most people who work shit, undervalued jobs are in that position not because they aren’t smart, but because society bludgeoned them until any other path seemed impossible.
If anything I think there does need to be a hereditarian left

it,s fascinating to me that some people value “not conciding anything to neonazis” than figuring what is true
