Is eugenics a legitimate science?

>> No.11046149

>>11046137
hey /pol/ wutup

linguistically "eugenics" breaks down to "eu" and "genics"

"eu" means "good" and "genics" means "birth" or genetics

so already we see that the concept relies on subjective judgements of what is "good" as in the "eu" of "eugenics".

so basically it is not science, just value judgements. prove me wrong.

Alignment with nature and darwinsim is not subjective.

You select for positive traits relative to your environment. What will help your descendants not only survive but prosper. Maybe even become dominant.

So in our current context. You'd select for:

Physical and neurological fitness.
Intelligence
Strength
Longevity
Virility
Aggressiveness

More or less in that order. If we'd started doing this even two hundred years ago, we'd be selling hotdogs on the moon by now.

You can use scientific methods to obtain things that are only subjectively valuable. Which is literally everything, because there is no inherent value in anything other than what someone ascribes to it. All you've done is claim the goal of eugenics is subjective, which is true. You could selectively breed humans for any traits you consider desirable. This has literally no bearing on whether selective human breeding can be performed in a rigorously scientific manner. It can. Therefore, eugenics is a science.

Well, in a world where we're all born in equal enviromental circumstances (which is impossible, even in the most equal worlds multiplicity will keep being a thing) it would be possible to talk about genetic differences for such traits. In the societies we've known such conditions have not existed so it's a stupid assumption that those traits (subject to a vast amount of variables) are genetical. Just as an example see the raise in "intelligence", longevity and physical and neurological fitness during the growth of middle classes in western countries on the last decades. Just in one generation we see a huge change in traits that by some are thought to be "genetical".
Even studies with twins are a failure when trying to measure the genetical nature of IQ.
So, sure, genetics has it's part of influence, but with the exception of extreme cases, enviroment is the most important determinant.

Studies with twins. The methodology on this kind of studies is too questionable to be regarded as scientifically rigurous. There's the underlying assumption that both monozygotic and dizigotyc twins are affected in the same way by social and environmental variables, which is untrue. I hope there's no need to explain why i believe this, this is a science board after all.
Also i love how the sources on both studies almost reduce "social class" variable to salary. The sad thing is that this is pretty common along these kind of studies. They formulate an hypothesis and align their obsertvations in order to confirm it. This is not science.

in fact because its a capitalist society eugenics isnt researched enough, discoveries in that area wouldnt sell and would make a lot of people mad especially Americans.

I think its absolutely possible to find less biased ways to research genetic differences.

not because its hard to research in modernity it should be discarded.

Sure, they're correlated, but there's different variables that configure the concept of social class and salary is one of those. There's two dominant operationalizations of social class, the first one the neomarxist and the second one the neoweberian and each of those is configured by 8-12 categories and salary is only one of those. A simple example would be university proffesors and researchers, at least in europe, the salaries are actually in the low end but the social position and the kind ocupation are in the high end.
>It's not an obscure concept at all as a biological creature cannot acquire a trait that isn't tied to it's genetics it's outright lysenkoism to imply otherwise
You're confusing a potential with the actual content. Sure, biology servers as a kind of spectrum of what's possible. The field of possibilities of morphology makes pretty much impossible that a human will be born with 6 legs, but that doesn't determine how those legs will be. It's similar but much more complex in the case of behavioral traits.

What alters more the shape of legs, distinct genetics or training/injuries/etc. Doesn't "work under genetics", it "works" along with genetics.

Is this that fucking difficult to understand?
What you're saying is that everything we do, say or think has always been in our genetics. There's nothing external to genetics. Everything is genetics.

Well, but we're assuming we already have bodies with legs and brains, which is the case. Origin does not dictate the function of something. You could say that hands are made to hold things, but that would be incorrect as they're not made for anything specifically, they get their function in the diverse interactions with the world, those functions are not coded in any way as they're everchanging, even within a same genetic code.
Anyway a brain is not a hand or a leg and it's informed by elements of much more complex kinds as are sign systems amongst others. If you can't see how contingent and external are those by yourself and how we're thought rather than we think there's no point on going on with this discussion.

Sure, i agree, you need some kind of potential to perform anything in order to perform it. But that doesn't determine how it will be performed, that's what's contingent and can't in anyway be coded. And anyway, genetic code isn't immutable and changes during the lifetime of creatures. So all your argument goes to the trash.

eugenics can be a science if you define it as a 'body of knowledge' because it is.
however, it's totally inapplicable since it requires a near perfect fairness in nurturing for any set
which is forever blocked by the rampant lust of the impoverished

so in terms of a 'legitimate science' being applicable knowledge then fuck no it's not.

Is phrenology a science? Is any religious cult a science? they're both bodies of knowledge but they're not sciences. Science is by definition a verificable set of observations that rigorously contrasts it's own hypotheses with reality. Not any body of knowledge is science.

under your definition i would say eugenics is not a science

>What do you mean by this?
to create a reliable set of people to infer eugenic decisions from there needs to be a certain level of fairness in relation to the development of traits.
we can say that this level of fairness can be achieved by giving people an upbringing to at least a certain socioeconomic level; access to education, nutrition, etc.

now, we can only use eugenics practically if we can avoid the next situation, which is where for the next generation the people who are in unfair conditions, who statistically perform a greater volume of sex. don't outsize the group of eugenically produced children because then the choice to perform eugenics would actually decrease the proportion of people with 'desirable' traits in the next generation.

realistically this is infeasible because it's a problem of income inequality on a global scale, and even from any microcosm there has never been an income equality distribution that would suffice for eugenics ever. and then you have to bring that to a global scale. it's totally impractical.

It's not even the recipe as the recipe is the arrangement and orders in which the ingredients are combined, it's the raw ingredients. Those raw ingredients don't have any code in which they'll be combined in their many interactions with different cooks and cooking instruments. Anyway, who said that the raw ingredients don't matter? i wasn't even arguing that.
To say that what happens to living beings is performed by living beings therefore what has happened must be biologically possible just says that what has happened must have been possible.

Okay, i agree with some of the underlying fundaments of what you're saying even if i find eugenics problematic in itself.
You're assuming that those who actually have the "desirable traits" (and we're talking exclusively about biology here) are those who have the better social position and status. The uneducated and poor have the "undesirable traits". To even begin thinking about grasping the surface of actual biological traits we'd need a perfectly equal and homogeneous society. This would mean that every children of that ideal society would have to be raised with equal care and without any distinction (even those of gender should be neutralised). Then maybe we'd be able to see the actual influence of biology in a individual and general scale and to discriminate between traits.

In the case of biology, raw ingredients are even more important because better genes create a better starting point. Starting smarter makes you more likely to make smart decisions that make you smarter. Having stupider genes makes you more likely to make stupid decisions that keep you stupid. Smart people are more likely to create environments that foster intelligence. Stupid people are more likely to create environments that don't help. Smarter genes help improve every factor of intelligence, not just the purely genetic ones.

not the anon you were talking to, but your problem, of genome edited humans only being the %1 or what-have-you, can resolved through Gene DRIVE techniques (making the edited gene force dominant inheritance).

Want an irl example? True professional dog breeders that select for health and ability, such as those the military hires for their German Sheppard's.

Of course we are evolving through natural selection, but we have become conscious beings and we can assume that we don't follow the classical rules of evolution; but then again, humans evolve so slowly we have no idea really.
In any way though, too much focus on eugenic is pointless because of recessive genes.

Eugenics, like medicine, engineering, art, sports, and farming is not science but a practical application of it. Humans are animals and can be bred to have characteristics, so yes eugenics is possible. But it runs counter to our christian-turned-liberal egalitarianism so it won’t ever have the funding of medicine, engineering, sports, art, etc. The question should not be if eugenics is a science; instead it is a question of legalizing it in your country. It is also a question that does not belong on the science board; meaning that YOU ARE A FAG OP GO TO /POL/

Modern era has produced a different environment that has very lax selective pressures and the only real form of selection going on would be the mass proliferation of offspring which is perfectly normal and healthy for a species however this is only when there is a strong selective pressure being applied which simply no longer happens and in the current world it seems to be moving towards a dysgenic future as can be seen with intelligent people having less children and over the generations this will lead to an increased quantity of these traits within the genepool and with the lack of selective pressures those that would in other ages be deemed unfit are able to live and reproduce which is likely to further cause dysgenics

Is this 'modern life selects poorly' myth just an offshoot of the endless 'society is crumbling and only we can save it' mentality?
