Eugenics in Action

Now they have a company that will scan embryos for IQ related genes from GWAS studies.  The fact that the studies are trash hardly seems to matter.  They can always say that they are improving with each new study and never have any accountability.  You can never prove them wrong.  Scientists doing these studies: You are the new eugenicists and I suspect history won't treat you kindly.

    KSR has a new book out about why we can't flee planet earth.
    Eugenicists may be our only hope.
    Of course, we wouldn't be breeding for intelligence, just diligence.
    Famous old study: If given a pill that the participants had to take every day at the same time for a month, in order to "not die" (this was figurative in the study, but probably a proxy for radiation pills), only a third managed compliance.

    There are no identified genes for diligence (or really any mental trait).
