Assuming that humanity is at such, or would ever have such a genetic bottle neck and limit in biodiversity.

I would advise a system of reproductive stratification (as mentioned here: >>8247925). For instance, only allowing academics to reproduce with academics.

That may be true, however, if the majority of the 'higher stratum' are dissuaded from reproducing with the 'lower stratum' you can still enforce eugenics within those who are worthy of remaining within their stratum.

The point is, it doesn't matter if we lose a minority of such genetic information into a lower strata because of two things:

1) His children are less likely to return to his strata or any of the higher stratum.

2) If this current trend of universal acceptance has any merit. A combination of those lower stratum genetics may result in someone of superior genetics, who has proven to be so via entering a high enough level of which ever field, to be considered higher stratum genetics.

In other words, the loss does not affect those in the higher stratum and that genetic information should be replaced by those of a lower stratum qualifying to enter a higher strata.

Because anyone who gave the field any serious study did so by jumping to conclusions about how the generations would turn out instead of running experiments and drawing their conclusions afterward. Its study methods have always been a mockery of the scientific method. It's no wonder the athletes Nazi Germany selected still lost to African contestants when they hosted the Olympics. Aryan superiority was never fairly tested in an environment that eliminated confirmation bias.

Even then, eugenics has already been practiced ad nauseum by royal families. Even when the children don't wind up weak and broken from inbreeding, the lower genetic diversity leads to a lower rate of disease immunity, slower and more divergent evolution from the mainland of humans, and eventual signs of inbreeding where there was none. There's a reason people descended from island nations like the UK and Japan are characterized by pale skin and fucked up teeth. We need the genetic diversity to maintain a healthy gene pool.

Still, as long as we do it by making experiments to inform our predictions instead of just making predictions, it's an area that could be worth studying. That just never seems to have happened.

>implying you know what traits are desirable at all times by everyone to deserve to exist
All genes are what they are. They are supposed to be there. The idea of trade offs and antagonistic pleuotrophies suggests that every trait is in place because it was exchanged or the gene shifted away from a less desirable trait. So there really are no "perfect" genotypes for all situations. Your "strong" human lines might have an IQ of 160 but because you had no idea what you're doing you bred individuals that possess deleterious mutations and their kids now die from a slight breeze. How often traits are expressed is often a result of epigenetic effects anyway. Are you going to find people with only certain methylation patterns that are heritable? Certain pathways that are enhanced for your "good traits"? The whole idea that you can do what nature does with humans on a broad scale is ridiculous we can't even get it right in most animals

One implies it to be merely tweaking, the other seeks to "improve." There is no up or down the "evolutionary ladder," there is only change. We arose by nature and "chance," and so nature and "chance" must find a way. When one tampers with nature, they run the risk of creating a monster, figurative or otherwise.

both change. The first can be drastic, the second can be just a tweak. "improvement" is relative.

When I stated "genetic engineering" in the first post I made, I didn't mean sterilizing certain people and forcing others to breed. I meant creating a new species by directly inserting the new trait directly and ensuring it can be passed on, rather than breed several pairs of humans for that trait.

>> No.8251863

that may be what you meant, but eugenics is a part of genetic engineering.
It is unclear to me what "the new trait" is, but modified rice doesnt taste much different from even natural uncultivated rice.

From Wikipedia:
"Darwin was intrigued by his half-cousin Francis Galton's argument, introduced in 1865, that statistical analysis of heredity showed that moral and mental human traits could be inherited, and principles of animal breeding could apply to humans. In The Descent of Man, Darwin noted that aiding the weak to survive and have families could lose the benefits of natural selection, but cautioned that withholding such aid would endanger the instinct of sympathy, 'the noblest part of our nature,' and factors such as education could be more important."

I agree that eugenics is a form of genetic engineering to an extent. I thought you were saying the opposite, that genetic engineering was a form of eugenics.

I meant more like inserting a more exaggerated form of some existing trait. Like how you could adjust a dog's DNA to produce a more exaggerated feature in one generation, or do it the old-fashioned way and breed them, though this may lead to a few undesirable traits

Well no one can decide what makes better genes and what metrics should be used for one, or how to measure them.

So say we just go on physical fit. Do we filter out those with poor physical genetics? What do we clearly define as "poor"? Anyone born lame? Anyone born with asthma or epilepsy or bad allergies? Anyone too short or too weak? Not fast enough or have a weak endurance?

Or do we go on intelligence? How are you measuring that? IQ tests that are bunk after a number? Education which is based more on socioeconomic factors? Or more recent theories that intelligence should be categorized between logical, spatial, linguistic, interpersonal, naturalist, kinaesthetic, musical and intrapersonal? Which forms of intelligence do we value most? Practical? Analytical? Creative? Emotional? How do you decide which could help the human race most when you don't know which the human race would need most in 1000s of years?

Ultimately it's best to leave it up to how can fuck and survive. Life and genetics aren't passed on because they're cool or make society better or anything like that. They're passed on because you could survive in the environment and fuck. Nature doesn't give a shit if you go to mars with that information or not. Eugenics is a stupid idea because it's assuming that what we want of humanity is what humanity needs. It could very well be that we want to be super brains but in the future we need to be faster runners. And above all our genes need diversity so fucking that up on purpose is retarded.

>most replies are someone linking it all "see what said here"

Seems like you're over promoting some shit plan man.

If you could pull someone from labor to academia, why not then level up academia for all?

You'd need to argue that those in academics are genetically superior and worthy of being the ones used in eugenics. If any schmuck can be educated up to academia level than you're arguing that it's not genetic. So why bother?

And you can't bottleneck and throw in a couple others for diversity. That's not how genetic diversity happens. Christ you can learn that from watching bullshit science channel.


All the same I still question why academics for the top? And which academics? Any field of study? Can a community college be equal to ivy league? How do you measure which study/school is best to genetically advance? What about socioeconomic factors? What if you make this law so to survive now near everyone in the world joins academia in name only, pushes a paper out just so they can have kids and fuck as well? Academia in name alone becoming a meaningless metric.

It's a simple thing to understand.

Currently parents pass their genes on when they reproduce together.

There is no reason to force them to pass on certain genes if they do not want to.

Hence parents, who already create new humans, should have the rights to more carefully choose which genes to pass on.

In this situation, genetic technology becomes empowering to parents to have more control over what genetics they choose to give.

oh a gattaca like scifi world?

You might as well be asking about magic hovercrafts in moral taboo of flying.

jesus we know so little about which traits are linked with which parts of the dna, and so many diseases are recessive, you'd need a genetic make up of both parents, and gene editing is such bullshit right now. It's just overall doubtful we'll ever be at that precision level where you can even decide between blue eyes and green let alone important things like diseases and height and intelligence. Jesus especially the last given what little we know of the brain right now. Along with how any one gene can effects multiple unrelated ones, just look up pleiotropy. And still cultural a bunch of parents deciding on some genes being superior and filtering out any variation would lead to a loss in genetic diversity.

>>8252030
I assume you mean our study of genetics is improving, and linked the results of a study showing genetic association as proof, but I don't think it's exponential. It only appears that way because we've just now gotten into studying it so much. And much of what we are learning, that study included (since it had, at most, 45% variance of any trait explained by SNPs), is that it's not any single base pair that effects any single trait alone.

So it's not "ah let's fuck with this specific gene variation and you're baby will be free of cancer" and more likely "fuck we fucked with this gene to get your kid 6'6, and he is totally gonna be 6'6 so good job on that, but now he's got a micropenis and might be predisposed to ADHD, who the fuck knows. ask the neurologists, they understand this shit more maybe. fuck it. he might not even end up 6'6 if you don't feed him right. or smoke while pregnant. or eat too much. or don't get any calcium."

Yeah but you're only proving my point. The most healthy dogs are those that are not bred specifically, but the mixed race ones with a lot of genetic diversity.

Nothing in your post is remotely true.

Actual worker breeds such as Belgian malinois are prized because the breeders have kept certain instincts and prey drives. These behaviors are instrumental for training them for military combat roles and for police work.

>I'm about race mixing to have the next generation take the healthiest traits from all races

This line shows a complete lack of basic intelligence and understanding of anything. Mating does not take "the best of both parents" and mix them together.

https://www.ucdavis.edu/news/biracial-asian-americans-and-mental-health?id=8732

A new study of Chinese-Caucasian, Filipino-Caucasian, Japanese-Caucasian and Vietnamese-Caucasian individuals concludes that biracial Asian Americans are twice as likely as monoracial Asian Americans to be diagnosed with a psychological disorder.
IF your logic was actually true Brazil would have the longer living population and not some inbred Japanese islanders.
