I think we are more or less in agreement. 🙂 I focus almost exclusively on the ‘strictly physical’ side of eugenics, cross-breeding & GMO but for humans. I see people who are fucked up, carry horrible genes, have undesirable physical traits. Sometimes they even mix & match with others that have bad genes/traits, and sometimes they even know bad things could happen…then their offspring has bad physical traits or medical problems & they’re all shocked pikachu face. How could this happen?! Well, because Mommy and/or Daddy are fucked up. And yeah that weird heart defect got passed down. Sickle cell anemia, passed down. Things of a physical nature. Good inputs, probably good outputs. Known bad inputs, hey…let’s not be shocked when there are bad outputs.

Intelligence, character traits, waters get significantly murkier. That’s just not how I think (because enough of it, I believe, is wrong). And I think this cringey couple overestimates their intellectual capacity. They might get A plusses on tests, but the way they’re interacting with the ‘real world’ displays a general lack of awareness, mental illness, & I think there’s some Main Character Syndrome at play.

Actions speak louder than words. There is nothing particularly wrong with eugenics in itself; it is how some people choose to carry it out that becomes questionable. When eugenics is used to propagate racist or dumb ideas.

These guys are a real trip. They screen, select & hand-pick embryos (that is eugenics). But then they turn around & claim they’re not eugenicists, because “they’re not racist” (???). Cool story, bro? But you’re eugenicists.

Imagine, if you will, your friend loudly says he HATES peppermint ice cream. Peppermint ice cream is so terrible. He orders vanilla. He takes out a bag of peppermints, hits them with a hammer, and rolls each spoonful of vanilla ice cream in the crushed peppermint bits. That’s…that’s peppermint ice cream. You claim you don’t like it, but took multiple, direct actions that resulted in peppermint ice cream, which you are enjoying. 🤨 These people are weird AF.

You seem to have the same problem I do. 🤭 it turns out several is kind of a fucking useless term, meaning more than two but fewer than many in number or kind. So…it’s defined by a bunch of nonsense-fluff numbers.

Several cannot mean two…but several can be 3. My sister called me to deal with “several” whatevers, I came over & there were 3 whatevers (can’t remember what it was), and I was like what the hell, sister, you said several & looked it up. Several sounds like 7, but it can mean 3 to idk, 9. It’s stupid.

For 3, most people would describe that quantity as “a few”.

They are highly atypical & their marriage is the result of a proposal over Reddit back in 2013. Wiki is wild.

That might even be true, but you know what names will be taken even less seriously? Titan Invictus and Industry Americus. 😂 Freaks creating freaks.

Invictus & Americus as standalone wouldn’t be the worst names, but Titan & Industry? For women? Those “names” sound rough as sandpaper. These people are so book-smart, and without friends/contacts to keep them in touch with reality, they’ve become kinda dumb & fallen prey to delusions of grandeur.

Wiki on this couple is an amusing, terrifying, and short read. I was wondering what they do for work, what their contribution to the world is. The answer…not much… “Venture capitalism”, so basically they’re money farmers investing money to make money. A necessary role, but not directly producing anything themselves. And tech MGMT, again, probably not directly producing many works but cracking the whip & supervising other people doing work. Color me not impressed.

They claim they’re not eugenicists, conflating eugenics with racism. Which simply isn’t true, what a stupid thing to say. They are eugenicists, they actively screen & sort embryos, pursuing the best results. That is eugenics, and there’s nothing particularly wrong with that. Very practical.

Both are the products of failed relationships, the man a classic failed marriage, the other a failed polyamorous marriage in Japan. They married after a proposal…over Reddit. Jesus Christ, am I on drugs? Is this real?

“Do you spank your kids?” “Oh, heavens no, how barbaric. Inspired by tigers in the wild, I slap my kids across the face. 😇” Lol!! Wth. 🙃 These kids will likely be mental trainwrecks (just like their parents) if they don’t straight-up commit suicide.
