In order for philosophy to be anything more than an interesting but ultimately meaningless thought experiment, forever confined to the realms of theory and literature it must be able to demonstrate a practical application. That is arguably the ultimate goal of philosophy - philosophers wouldn't bother talking about half the things they do talk about if they didn't think it were applicable in some way. Philosophy provides the schematics for the moral, the societal, the political, the academic etc. with the aim of optimising it. Generally this optimising is met with controversy because people have different end goals; however one optimisation that nobody (besides maybe the most die-hard anarcho-primitavists) can argue against is the increase of intellectual ability, or at least the protection of intellectual ability from ablation.

Unfortunately that's what we see happening and it is directly, almost solely, down to race. A nation of fifty million sub-saharan africans simply is not going to have the intellectual output of a nation of fifty million europeans or east-asians. I don't intend this in any kind of malicious way, it's merely a fact. For a philosophy/worldview that is so interlaced with technological innovation and advancement it seems implausible to be able to sweep it under the rug.

The word eugenics is clearly a VERY loaded word, but the notion behind it is one that can't be criticised. Improve the human race. What we currently see at the moment is a thoroughly dysgenic attitude. This doesn't even touch the moralising aspect of it where the progressive left gives moral validity to non-whites and demonises whites, this is just the raw, hard hitting, factual IQ disparity that is apparent to anyone willing to look.

Quite frankly: whites and eat-asians accelerate, other races either do not or decelerate.

>The outcome would most likely favor IQ rather than race.
I tend to agree, however race and IQ are inherently linked. If you take a standard distribution of IQs from any homogeneous population you can accurately predict the race of that population.

He wrote a part describing: how there are thousands of scared animals all over the world; trying not to starve, and be taken out by predictors - was the only non-biology part he has written, out of the books i have read; was beautifully saddening.
