Dude can't even get a proper fitting suit or shirt. He looks like someone who had to borrow his outfit for court

I think you missed the point where they want more of the "right people" whatever that means. They think they can outbreed everyone else and win by having the most right people. See just about every major religion as a case study for this.

I feel like proper eugenics was pretty soundly debunked as people are more complicated than peas. I think that the only thing you can reliably predict is race.

And these people look like that Nazi from Raiders of The Lost Ark.

It was never soundly debunked in theory. We are animals and like all animals our offspring inherit traits from us. Hypothetically if you could agree on what "good traits" looks like you could selectively breed people based on those traits and get people who are more likely than average to have those traits. Keep doing it for generations upon generations and you'd get people optimized for those traits. Even without knowing what gene or genes are responsible.

The problem is that we're notoriously bad at deciding what is and is not in the set of "good traits" and tend to pick stupid shit like "being Aryan/white." Also forced/restricted breeding is unethical at best, and fucking monstrous on average. It's one of those things that goes in the bin of "it would probably work, but if we start doing it we've already become the villains".

It might work, but in the same way that it does with dogs. You might get some traits you want, but they will all be as inbred as a Bulldog. Probably would knock 15 years off average lifespan.

The more mixed up your genes are, the less likely you are to have health defects.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

You'd need to start with a large enough sample and be very careful about who and how you breed them to limit damage from inbreeding. But again, it's something that's firmly in the “it would probably work, but if we start doing it we’ve already become the villains” bin.

There are 8 billion people in this world, and it will continue to grow until there are about 10 billion of us here. The world is dying because each of us takes too much, gives back too little and frankly, there are about 3 billion too many of us. The world is dying because there are too many humans AND THESE FUCKERS ARE SCARED THST BIRTH DECLINE WILL BE AN ISSUE? They actually advocate for more humans because if we don't, cultures will somehow disappear? Economies will collapse?

You know what will collapse all economies, soon enough? Climate change. It will fuck all and everything. There is a realistic chance that within a few decades tops, this "the world still generates enough food to feed everyone twice over, it's just that we keep throwing away most of the food over actually making sure it gets to the hungry"will turn into "the world can only generate enough food to feed about 5 billion or less of us".

How do you think your precious economy will respond to the ensuing wars and everything?

Why is it that even mentally deficient idiots like this can become "leaders" whilst actually smart people have to sit in the sidelines?

Oh yeah, sheer narcissism and psychopathy. They get you to the top of the food chain.

there are about 3 billion too many of us.

Even with modern agriculture at scale, the minimal-negative-impact, full-carrying-capacity population for a 100% vegan population would be 2B. With vegetarianism, 1,5B. With typical omnivory, on-par with American diets, 700M.

We are so f**king far past overshoot that it’s not even funny. And the strain on the ecology is absolutely obvious for those with the eyes to see.

Birth decline is a issue for the capitalist. Their scam depends on constant unending growth.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Infinite growth in a finite system.

Plus, they need plenty of low-wage, grindingly poor, economically desperate workers to maximize their own obscene profits. Which is why so many of them have gone all alt-right, because that’s who is taking away reproductive rights in a desperate attempt to goose birth rates.

T'fuck is this about?

As if thousands of others aren't? Forget about the thousand other red flags, why even post this bullcrap?

'elite' couple

Can't be bothered with seeing properly

I actually quite like the idea that Humanity will survive as a result of these weird cunts and their breeding programme; but only as a race of subterranean mole people with too poor eyesight for the surface world.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

No, you're thinking of the Morlocks. These idiots will obviously be the Elois.

We need miners that can work without light since the power is needed for generative AI.
