    It’s also telling how he shies away from bringing his line of thought to its logical conclusion: if you think you need to “optimize” your child’s genetics to perfection, why shouldn’t you try to optimize their environment like that as well? If you’re such an imperfect being with all your faulty genes after all then it’s probable you will make mistakes during parenting, so by your own logic thinking you would be suited to raise a child in the first place is a terrible crime no different from refusing cuckoldry.

    And they call this “effective altruism”. Jesus Christ these people need help.

      I thought the same thing too, but then I remembered. They don’t believe that environment matters. It’s all in the genes!
