First Eugenics has an outsider making breeding choices not the breeders that's the point of self selecting.

No, that's not what eugenicist theory means.

Eugenics starts with the statement that left to its' own, self-selecting devices, humanity is in danger of undesirable traits self-selecting in such a way that humanity might/will degenerate into something worse. Therefore, intervention is supposedly needed. That was the starting point of eugenic theories. It doesn't need any action taken, to be a eugenicist theory.

Claiming that eugenics starts at someone actively changing breeding patterns is like claiming that theoretical physics isn't physics.

Second I don't think you even conceptually understand theoretic/metaphoric modeling

Well, if you think something wrong, I guess that's a you problem.

As to the purpose of the satire it's an absurd mirror to modern life and a thought experiment on the consequences of free breeding without external pressure (see earlier discussion about how intelligence is expensive).

You're again describing an eugenicist thought.
