    Could we just skip the bullshit and fine liberals 50k for every reproduction?

    A father and mother who both have IQ's of 150 will produce kids with an IQ average of 130 (on average). There's an expected regression of 40% towards the white IQ average of 100. The IQ's of the kids will be on a Bell Curve (median 130).

    The happiest countries are the whites countries. White men created the modern world. Western civilization is not possible without white DNA.

    Brai lolns expanded in size as man left Africa and moved to colder climates where it was harder to get food during winter. Men had to protect mother and child during the winter and help provide food. Family survival meant a man's DNA would survive.

    In Africa rood was easy to get. Men that banged a lot of women had their DNA spread to future generations in a dominant fashion.

    East Asians evolved in even colder climate than whites. That's why they have the largest brains

    The future of the human race is in technology, not genetics. Genetics is just software and can be rewritten fairly easily.

    Also, it's hard to pull out...

    Right here
    Ignoring the tremendous ethical issues here, you are correct that we actually have a giant scientific problem here. And it goes further than just what genetics might be beneficial in the future, we actually don’t know what genetics are beneficial today. There simply isn’t a genetic test in the world that is going to be able to assess this.

    This 2018 article from Vox is the best I’ve seen at explaining how all this works. On one hand, genetics influences many more traits than most people understand, but on the other, we have almost no idea how it does this. The test for educational attainment, the best one for any behavioral trait, still can only predict 11-15% of variation. And probably every trait has a trade off. Eg having a high genetic score for IQ and educational attainment is also associated with a higher propensity for bipolar disorder. Even if we all agreed this was a good idea, we can’t do it right now, and we might never have this ability.

    The fascinating, stunningly complicated new science of genetics

    Only question I have is …. if this is done …. who will the liberal elites hire to maintain their landscaping and pool, raise their kids, clean their home, detail their SUV, fuel their private jet, remove their garbage and recycle, do their grocery shopping and prepare their meals, and re-roof their house??

    Ancestry confirmed that my sister is probably related to me.

    Weird that you think the “elites” are much different between parties, or that there are so many of them that own a private jet that this would be a problem.

    Can't we just put tariffs on having kids with a sliding scale based on genetics?

    They're so smart they could figure out how to do that menial stuff themselves.

    Let’s just start with the obvious reason that some people should not be “reproducting”.

    I'd swear some of the posters on here are day drinkers.

    Tell me what is wrong about what I said? Do you really think trash genetics should be passed on? You would essentially be dooming that offspring to all the same chronic conditions and medical problems that you have. That's why I won't do it, I'm not passing along my trash genetics. Just today my doctor is now saying I should see a pulmonologist, essentially to see if my allergies and asthma can be better control and if the scaring in my left lung from pneumonia and previous infections will cause issues going down the road. Screw my life, I'm not going to have one going forward at this rate. Might as well call it quits now. :(

    I regard it as a personal issue between people, not as a social one and I don't think the govt should ever be involved in this. There might be an exception in some extreme instance I haven't thought about but basically society shouldn't do this. What your proposing is what the Germans started doing years before Hitler came around and how did that turn out? They started with "experiments" that included "mercy killing" of mentally challenged children, etc. I saw a presentation several years ago about that and I almost started crying when I saw some of the pictures of some of the children that were killed.

    This is the slipperiest of slippery slopes. This door should be shut, locked, and then backfilled with concrete.
