TWO CHILDREN PER COUPLE
140 - 149 IQ

ONE CHILD PER COUPLE

STERILIZATION TIER
90 - 104 IQ
People with IQs in this range can still adopt excess children of higher IQ parentage.

SUB-HUMAN TIER

This category cannot even adopt children. They should not only be sterilized, but also labelled as risks upon society for close watch by law enforcement and mental health practitioners. People falling into this category should be quarantined in dedicated islands, cities, or isolated communities so as to avoid disrupting the higher IQ social order.

Yes, but with humanity at 7B people, it's not likely that the diversity is going to decrease much at all, if any. From a hypothetical standpoint if you can keep everybody from breeding but who you want, as long as you have a big enough pool of people you want (say, the smart half, the fast have, whatever you are controlling for), then diversity would be fine.

What I dont get is why do governments promote the breeding of lower IQ people(most being lower class)? While the upper IQ people tend not to have as many kids. And when it comes to higher IQ couples why are they choosing adoption of kids from lower IQ families?

I mean if you dont want to have a kid then why not have a surrogate be implanted with your egg and sperm and then have a child that has your genetics.

It just sucks to see so many high IQ couples and people not pass on their genetics. While at the same time people with low IQs spread their genetics like crazy.

We are just promoting the breeding stupidity.

While I am not really into genetics it pains me to see so much high IQ genetics die out when scientists dont marry or dont have kids because they are too involved with their work or they believe a kid would be hinderance on their career.
Why not donate your sperm/eggs and have the people who have lower IQ, when they want to have their 4/5/6 kids use the high IQ sperm and eggs instead of their own.

How often do these women die from getting their eggs removed?
I have not heard of any case where women have died from having their eggs removed.
Also before they hit menopause(or if they decide not to have any kids) why not perform a hysterectomy to get as many eggs as they can?

Why not offer a monetary incentive for them to do this? I mean we throw so much welfare at the bottom and they breed like rabbits. Why not cut off some of that and offer it to those high IQ women for their eggs? Also there would be the logical explanation of having those genetics of you Ms/Mrs Scientist instead of having it die out with you.

ITT OP doesn't know that your IQ depends on the IQ of all the people in the world, ie 100 = the average, 200 = highest possible score. it's dynamic.
so while you test fine today, and you're allowed to have 2 children, so you decide one now and one in a few years. so you have your child, as does lots of other people around you, and progressively smarter people start taking IQ tests. this brings your IQ down as the IQ tests get harder to accommodate smarter people. so then your IQ drops below the tier where you can have a second child and your dreams are crushed.

Also yeah you didnt have a IQ of 140, you just put down whatever and that is what you scored based off of random guesswork.

Ok heres an idea. Why not sperm banks for overachievers in life? Win a Nobel prize, your perm is in high demand. Invent a style of art, write a symphony, cure a disease,Be drop dead beautiful, win a sporting event ect. Promote the idea of exceptional sperm to create exceptional children. The idea of raising an anonomous sperm baby is a smaller hurdle than convincing people to go along with a eugenics program that doesnt allow people to breed.
It would be slower, but as these select children mix with the population, the idea of having a selected sperm baby would be less and less bizzare. The same could be done with eggs, but its less risky, and now the baby is twice as foreign to the parents.

Well we do already have it in a way, just sperm donor babies aren't popular except for women that cant find a man. Since they're usually ugly or dumb or have some disease that keeps them from getting a man: the mixing of those genes isn't as effective at making a better gened person.

Besides, you cant just screen for IQ. i don't want a society of smart sociopaths, or batshit ugly geniuses. We need to screen for a huge number of traits in a person and i don't see it feasible.
the best way to screen for that seems to be attraction. Women want a man that smart, funny, articulate, handsome, strong, healthy, driven, and caring. if somehow we could use that to an advantage.

>> No.3745826

nurture vs nature.
The thing is smart people can have dumb children and vice versa. The possibility to increase potential is less than the potential for damages caused. This sort of thinking typically occurs when resources are scarce. It is the final level of enemy theory, to discern all the way down to your own population to determine who is a threat. The rule is that enemies are created based offf of scarcity and jeslousy for resources. The conclusion is to only support those with a guaranteed chance of increasing resource. ( the reverse side is opposing those who do not increase resource) This is flawed because the people chosen might not be able to remedy or increase output.

>> No.3745827

The real solution is public transparency of problems , solutions of that sort poses the drawback of the governing body being elected by specality and once the door of hidden problems is open it leads to overthrow of the body by discredation of those unable to solve the problem internally. However by coupling the notion of a disperse set of skills to democracy you can create an environment where people select those who already believe they have the skills to accomplish the job. Perhaps once in office politicians should be rated against and compensation for the level completion or assistance to a problem they have. If they increase the economy by a certin amount then they can be paid more. ( this leads to wanting to help the offical since when he gets paid more he will pay you more) There should be some set measurement where people rate the job as well as the people they measure against. If you have only bad candidates and you have to chose between them then you should also be able to choose to assign a grade to how well they do the job. This method will hopefully attract talent outside of running office to offer solutions that will be paid for by the elected official. Instead of looking at it as the best person at all the jobs by assigning IQ. Assign everyone the current job and watch as different skills are brought in to solve certain facets of a particular problem. ( transpose problem for accumulating more resource) ( transpose jobs for accumulating more resources) the reason I decided to keep them and mention afterwards was to keep the wording in common vernacular.

"Our results unequivocally confirm that a substantial proportion of individual differences in human intelligence is due to genetic variation, and are consistent with many genes of small effects underlying the additive genetic influences on intelligence."

"Genetic influences on brain morphology and IQ are well studied. A variety of sophisticated brain-mapping approaches relating genetic influences on brain structure and intelligence establishes a regional distribution for this relationship that is consistent with behavioral studies. We highlight those studies that illustrate the complex cortical patterns associated with measures of cognitive ability. A measure of cognitive ability, known as g, has been shown highly heritable across many studies. We argue that these genetic links are partly mediated by brain structure that is likewise under strong genetic control."

I'm not sure what you're trying to suggest, but Einstein was responsible for relativity and the photoelectric effect; nothing about brain size.

And modern MRI studies have shown that brain size is correlated with IQ by about 0.44, which is statistically significant.

Are you seriously implying that the world wouldn't be better off with high intelligence? We would be in the Stone Age if it weren't for our intelligence and the prehistoric evolution thereof. Intelligence allows us to modify our environment to make our lives easier and more meaningful. I don't think I need to stress this particular point further.

Also, what makes you assume that high IQ people are averse to hard work? Most intelligent people are in white collar professions because they *can*. If the average intelligence were in the future significantly higher than it is now, the "new average" (so to speak) would be intelligent by today's standards, yet they would still have to do menial labor. They would have no other option.

If anything, society should run more smoothly with a high IQ populous. Look at Singapore. Their average IQ is around 108, and their economy is one of the most affluent in the world. Not to mention their high level of productivity and social stability.

High IQ is good. Everyone needs more of it.

IT MAY BE THE CASE that successful people have IQs, but the main fallacy here is that not all people with high IQs are successful. nature and nurture come into play and we simply haven't solved that problem yet. we need to know more before being able to actively decide the future for our species.

Yes. Obviously IQ doesn't entirely determine an individual's success. However, it does help determine the success of a nation, society, or group.

A population-wide increase in IQ will, over time, undoubtedly raise the number of brilliant researchers, scientists, and engineers. Some people will still end up poor due to circumstance and despite their intelligence. Nevertheless, our society is meritocratic enough that the vast majority of intelligent people will have a chance to contribute to society in ways they would have been unable with lower IQs.

If you're planning to breed the human species into an even higher state of intelligence I've got bad news for you: we're about as evolved as it gets:

- bigger brains are a possibility, but these consume energy like fuck and axions become to long

-denser brains are also a good way to go but oh wait, efficiency loss due to erorscaused by wild firing

- faster connections between neurons are also big consumers

-and lastly more wiring, also an energywhore

So, if you are going for bigger intelligence then you are breeding a whole different species, one with a either way more efficient or a wat diffferent metabolism

and besides, we need the dumb fucks for all the heavy lifting and to fill all the ill-paying jobs. It's not like a genius is going to collect garbage or wash you're windows.

That is simply not true.
The global correlation goes the other way around. Lower IQ is weakly related less social behaviour. This shouldn't be a surprise, if you've ever interacted with somebody with an IQ of 80.
True, in the tip of the top IQ, the relation is reversed. But there might be 3rd factor causing both high IQ and a-social behaviour (higher probability of savants, for example).

How about the biological factors which underlie both high IQ and breeds more savants are the same which makes them less socially functional?

There are longitudinal studies done on the gifted which show this correlation. High IQ is not a magic bullet which simply solves all your problems and is not a case of more is better on all accounts.

Hitler decreased the mean global IQ by killing jews, who had/have an above average IQ. Clearly seen by the distribution of nobel prizes between jews/non jews.

And also for those who don't seem to get it, IQ tests don't have to do with knowledge, just mental capacity. I thought this was obvious?

Better plan OP

180+IQ:
Must have children someone who has an IQ of 100 or so.

150 - 179 IQ:
Must have children with people who have 105 - 139 IQ

And so on and so on with everyone else.

This plan is hundred times better mostly because we could breed out the retardation without sacrificing diversity that could cause genetic diseases. Also you won't have to do a nazi like thing and sterilize people like a bat shit crazy person.

But you will still be limiting the variation in the population. There will still be unintended consequences. It will still take hundreds, if not thousands, of generations to have any effect.

How are is this going to limiting the variation? It would be breeding people who are going to be completely different and passing only the dominate. (not sure if higher intelligence would be dominate trait) also we can end up with a people who are not just smart but fucking strong, beautiful and still have much variation as there is now. Also everyone is bitching how genetics are going to end up fucked up if we don't have enough people. I hope you guys know during our evolution there there was a bunch of our fucking dumb ass fucking monkey caveman ancesters that ended up dying and only very few variation to but look at us now. What you guys consider large amount of differences in genetics is barely nothing compared with what use to be in the past. It was called the bottleneck effect if I remember right. Also OP plan would probably take just as long then with less people around because it would cause another bottleneck effect unlike my plan.

I hope humanity manages to discover the principles of intelligence and crate intelligent machines before they go the way of the dodo bird.

Then with some luck, these machines evolve like computers did (Moores Law)

As soon as this happens, these machines will be superior to humans in every aspect, maybe except self recreation/reproduction. But factories could be used for that.
If mankind would create strong intelligent electronics, they would even outperform a human brain today, since the switching speed is faster and memory is much smaller than neurons in the human brain.

Imagine to have an working memory of 2TB, accessible in hundreds of nanoseconds. Some servers (e.g.Sunfire X4800 M2) can do it, they just lacks intelligence and a body for movement and interaction with the outside world and an onboard fuel cell.

patience is a virtue evolutionarily speaking. Taking the humanity out of life to try to speed up evolution will not benefit our future and it will even have an unnatural effect on the way we are supposed to evolve. You should feel fortunate that so much change and advancement is taking place in a single generation. Evolution normally takes millions of generations worth of lifeforms for small amounts of change to take place.

Personally, I think good parenting can do more to help a kid succeed than genes. I know a guy who's pretty much a genius at everything he does (straight A's and shit in EVERYTHING), but his parents were at best average intelligence and they work menial jobs. What they did right was being good parents and fostering a strong sense of importance when it comes to education and shit early on in his life.

So yeah, most people can be successful if they only had good role-models or parents. Also, I am probably sure that most of the people who tout the same old "ENSLAVE ALL PLEBS"-line are themselves only average or slightly above-average intelligence.

Jesus christ since when were grades a good approximation of intelligence. They could just as well call them a give-a-fuckometers since that's all they're good for.

Now, if we ignored that part of your dumb as shit example, it still only accounts for one out of billions of people. All it does is show that average parents can produce intelligent offspring, not giving even a hint of an indication of an approximation of the frequency of this occuring.

In short, everything you've said can be categorized into three strongly overlapping groups;
Dumb as shit shit
Irrelevant fucking bullshit
Just plain fucking wrong

I mean, your conclusion doesn't even follow from the faulty example based on the false premise. I can imagine no way you could be more wrong.
