    The amount of times I’ve been blocked on Reddit for pointing out the hypocrisy of humans… Our species really need to be neutered by default, exceptions only for license holders.

      Oh sure, having a government body decide who’s fit or not for reproduction. Absolutely nothing that could go wrong with that. /S

        True, the design I believe in would only work if people like me would be in control, due to the nature of worldviews being unique to the individual. And the moment hands change over once, is the moment the laws get skewed by the worldview of the next group. I would restrict those who threaten humanity’s progress, who would refuse to educate or vaccinate a child, who would indoctrinate from birth into their gated world. The next person would restrict queerfolk like me. And the next would try to filter humanity into an Aryan race of purebloods.

        The theory is there. The practice is improbable. But the lack of practice results in the Chinese, Russian or American governments and their followers. Those who would, and do, filter us out.

      We as a species spent so, so long learning the painful lesson that eugenics is an awful idea. Can we please not relitigate it? That is, can we please not shift the Overton window back to the ideology that directly led to and inspired the Holocaust?
