Have you ever been to trailer parks? In the USA you get a certain amount per kid there is no cap on it either. There was a single mother in NYC who was making 6 figures off welfare alone for 8 kids.

No. People are extremely opposed to Eugenics so it would never be possible to get it legislated.

The thing is that genetics is a product of your environment. If people are being placed in an environment which causes IQ declines, then you dont shoot the messenger (genetics) you resolve the issue and change the environment. So basically what im saying is that whatever you do dont be like America.

Social safety nets are fantastic if they're made to incentivize the right things. Hungary has a government loan and loan forgiveness program where newlywed ethnic Hungarians can buy a house and pay it off by having children. That's a eugenic and socially responsible public welfare program.

Probably true with overt eugenic policies, most people are very impressionable though, Eugenic policies are regularly snuck into the mainstream via movements like the pro-choice or transgenderism movements.

>The thing is that genetics is a product of your environment. If people are being placed in an environment which causes IQ declines, then you dont shoot the messenger (genetics) you resolve the issue and change the environment.
This is untrue in the sense it is being discussed here. The only case you could argue that environment causes widespread changes in IQ was historically and probably mostly in areas where it was difficult for low IQ people to survive and reproduce/survive at higher rates than higher IQ people, specifically you need a positive selective pressure for high IQ which no longer truly exists in our modern times of abundance.

Let different "cultivars" handle it. You don't need to have just one project going on per jurisdiction. You can have like 20 experiment frameworks in parallel and see what brings the most. And that's just in per country.

It's eugenics or eventual societal collapse.
Every generation gets more defective than the last, because selection pressures like childbirth or sicknesses don't matter as much as they used to. Some of the most important pressures selecting for "health" have completely vanished. We are even searching and finding workarounds for "functionally sterile" right now.
This isn't sustainable. This isn't sustainable at all.

>> No.14991329

Re framework:
One could take have the following scheme: to speed up insights, we can't wait too long. So can start collect parameters in a staggered manner:
- At age 5, the health/sickliness of the eugeniced children is evaluated.
- At 10, the preliminary intelligence is evaluated. I highly doubt there will be major "surprises" after, but it's valuable to again have an eval with adults.
at 15, character is evaluated. Same applies as before: 15 is "ripe" enough to judge a person's lifetime character. (Remember, this data isn't supposed to be optimal, but just deliver an optimal 'data gathered/time waited' efficiency).
- At age 20, intelligence can be evaluated again, this time with the full gamut. Also, physical attractiveness is evaluated. In particular, we can also check here what predicts if someone ends up having had a major transformation from their childhood physical attractiveness, or if it was just an "expected" trajectory. It's useful to determine what genes/factors result in an unexpected delta (bodily appearance wise), that can be corrected/exploited/studied/etc.
- At age 25, mental maturity and how well they "adult" is evaluated. May have an autism check effect. This also includes aesthetics (not in a "certain styles are haram" way, but more "jeez, you evolved at all from your literal 15 years old self". What they elected to have as their adult style isn't actually important).
- At age 30, you can have a final test where you discuss and assess philosophy and shit.

I think, counterintuitively, we should give more weight to normalized tests like IQ tests or at the very least such semi-subjective evaluations as listed above, rather than career etc. there are too many unknowns determining an entire person's life/career/success, whereas you can find out if someone is a sack of walking garbage in one day, accurately enough.

It's too slow to killoff undesirable people or incentivizing the desired people to procreate. That'd take many generations just to see any notable difference.
We must engineer superbeings in a lab. Forgo the limitation that it has to be "human." In fact it might be preferred to create something that doesn't look human. So that inferior humans (everyone) don't get upset to the point of creating unrest, riots and wars.

I guess the main problem with eugenics is that you need to pick a eugenic strategy that isn't retarded; this, in itself is a problem which requires intelligence. Sadly, a eugenic program run by retards will only serve to accelerate the process of retardation.

It's brown. And always has been. One of the most common German surnames is literally just saying this person has brown hair. Are you stupid?

Nazis advocated for the pogromming and removal of Jews after they took power, which escalated in fervor as the war turned against them, and ended with them desperately trying to kill off the people they saw as the cause of every bad thing that ever happened to them before they lost the chance to by the time of the surrender. Saying otherwise betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of history on par with claiming that Japan was nothing but a bunch of brainless honor-obssessed retards who attacked the US for no reason.

They hated the Jewish race, and thought that Slavs and Poles were significantly lesser. They hated the politics of other European countries but were fairly neutral on their racial identities.
