We could selectively breed humans to have super long fingernails. I'm not saying it's right, it's just important for me to bring this up for some reason. How dare you accuse me of being weird about fingernails, i'm just stating facts devoid of political context

Some Eugenics dude was hired for a British position so people did mention it first.

the dawkins tweet for context

It’s one thing to deplore eugenics on ideological, political, moral grounds. It’s quite another to conclude that it wouldn’t work in practice. Of course it would. It works for cows, horses, pigs, dogs & roses. Why on earth wouldn’t it work for humans? Facts ignore ideology.

So, Dawkins wants to make humans more docile and have a higher meat yield? Has anyone thought to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't occasionally swallow a whole mouse?

He's got us there though. There are no Jewish horses left and as such we must conclude that horse eugenics has been an absolute success.

Every time I meet a bulldog, I pet it and say, “oh you poor mistake of creation.”

I mean, it did. They look like people wanted them to look. People were wrong in wanting that, but it worked.

Quoted cause no one follows links: Shaun @shaun_vids > selective breeding is the process. you can selectively breed for traits. you can say that works eugenics is specifically about improving, making better. > saying eugenics would work for humans means you have a subjective idea of what 'better' would be. a personal value judgement ... >thinking this a question that can be answered sans ideology is absurd. thankyou

If eugenics works, why did they always have to take soma in Brave New World? Cheqmate.
