In Huxley's Brave New World those smart enough or independent enough to act against the system would have been exterminated.

This is the gravest problem with eugenics. If an altruist is not in charge of an eugenics program then it will be used to enslave people, not uplift them.

Of course. You're not getting any superpowers unless the social engineers get to control how you use them. Any other option is just inherently unstable, even if you strip away any moral value judgments about utopias and dystopias.

Whoever wrote it is a degenerate psychopath, and so are you. The difference between you, of course, is that his likes will be the ones rewriting your DNA to their specifications and not the other way around.

That's true for literally everything. Literally everything that people in power can offer to humanity
>government
>security forces/police
>laws
>technology
>education
>housing
>money

All of it CAN be used to uplift people, but is used to enslave instead. Actual altruists do not exist unless they are very low IQ bottom rungs of society. That's why this happens every time

Almost like if you give someone enough power to offer you that stuff, they have no incentive to offer it without strings attached. Who'da thunk.

This is incorrect. If you had actually read the book you'd have known that those people are saved from the system and offered to help govern it.
