An interesting question is whether modern people are morally superior than those who in their day believed such things. People today pride themselves on their morals while believing in the most patently absurd things. Who was right?

>> No.19060704

>>19060646
They were right. Human life has no inherent, universal worth. We westerns act like there is such a thing only because our societies are permeated with christian sentiment. But this view is highly unpractical, has no basis in reality and ignores concrete circumstances. If we enable all cripples to breed we will have real, negative evolutionary consequences (already have actually, like loss of iq and raise of mental illnesses) that will affect our culture (ideals, morals that stem from stupidity, weakness etc). Serious politics of the future will have to acknowledge these problems and will have to adopt some kind of eugenics program.

you clearly have no grasp of how population genetics work
without selsective pressure which promote "cripple" genes, they do not spread and multiply, it is just like shuffling the exactly the same cards around and around again

>> No.19060754

>>19060744
its not that there is selection pressure that propagates "cripple" genes, the point is that due to our advance in medicine and because of our prevailing morality "cripple" genes are no longer selected agaisn't as it was before. And this "improvement" has negative, dysgenic consequences.

where is the problem if a stable 1% percent is crippled?

>> No.19060776

>>19060761
I'm not talking about literally crippled, disabled people. The fact is that more weaker people live on to adulthood than pre medicine revolution which basically wiped out infant mortality. The mechanism of infant mortality would wipe out those, who were not strong enough and it was a harsh selection process, since it was literally 50/50 if the child will live on. In our days weakness just has more chance of surviving and spreading out in culture.

>weakness just has more chance of surviving and spreading out in culture.
in the west we have basically no selective pressure regarding "weakness/strenghth" only selection pressure regarding social abilities which just means that weakness and strenghth does not spread or decrease
I ask again where is the problem?

>> No.19060825

>>19060788
I'm talking in relative terms. In relation to older times, (pre infant morality reduction) we have 50 percent higher chance of those, who would have died in earlier times, living on. Physically and mentally weak people survive more often that before. Again, I'm not talking about positive selective pressure that you keep repeating. I'm talking about disappearance of negative selective pressure (infant mortality).

My problem is that today's culture is the product of weakness that dominates. Our cultural, moral ideals are oriented towards securing and propagating the existence of midwits and disadvantaged (compare with ideals and morality of ancient greeks/romans, where infant mortality was very high, so high that parents would not name their children some weeks after the birth and where securing the existence of healthy, strong children was prevalent due to social necessity). I just have a suspicion that high culture can not flourish in these settings.

>> No.19060827

>>19060761
The problem is that healthy people tend to die more before having kids, because they join the army, take part in risky activities, etc., whereas the crippled and weak stay at home, breed like rabbits, and use up welfare incessantly. This imbalance gradually leads to a dysgenic increase in the disabled percentage. The selective pressure FOR disabled is essentially welfare, the pleasure of sex over other non-disabled activities, and the tendency of lower humans to value sex and reproduction over higher activities.

By saying that human life has no inherent value, one actually cannot conclude that people with disabilities should have a lesser right to live.

You know, because the argument that they have a lesser right to live stems from the idea that their lives are less valuable which is all built on the idea that there is inherent value to human life.

No value -> no euthanasia for disabled people.

no inherent universal value =/= no value at all. Their worth comes from society and if society deems them as unworth of life, then they are unworthy. The same problem arises in law, where the distinction between universal and positive law exists.

morals are important and practical from a certain perspective, to certain people. There are no morals that could be important and practical universally, across time and space. That's why I say our current christianity influenced morality is blind to concrete here and now problems that we face.

>The IQ has been increasing
it has been increasing due to enviromental factors (better living conditions). This fact accounts for the Flynn effect. But it is observed, that Flynn effect has stopped/is on reverse in some well developed countries. There are other factors that decrease general intelligence (such as lower amount of highly intelligent women having offsprings due to contraception/career/modern ideals). Woodley of Menie has called this co-occurence model, since both increase and decrease can be posited, but the first trend is stopping, since out living conditions have reached its peak. Not to say about the distinction between s and g components of iq and how g has been silently on the decrease. Would suggest you to read more about it, but you seem to be already set on your worldview.

I talked to the guy and he went on and on about how his books haven't been given a cum tribute and how he's upset that it hasn't happened.

I'm pretty sure that such tributes open a portal to hell and victims become characters in his novels. That's why there has never been any evidence of a Gardner cum tribute and why he eggs us on to "complete" them.

Gardner is a devil-worshipping psychopath who uses 4chan and cum tributes to trap souls. He then uses the souls to generate novels.
