i disagree about too much work part. gene editing tech is already advanced today - it is just illegal to use on humans.

low-IQ racists want to select people purely on the basis of eye color arguing that this is the best measure of racial "purity"

that it may be ... but it is not a measure of the value of the genes

i am not racist - i am EUGENICIST

the high-IQ thing to do would be to select people who are excellent at various things and then in the future use gene editing to combine only the best parts of different genomes to create people to precise specifications

we already use gene editing to create different kinds of lawn grasses for different parts of the golf course ( as well as for different climates, of course ) so why not use gene editing to create different people for different parts of the planet. we could create a dark skin race for hot climates while simultaneously giving them intelligence of whites and work ethic of the Japanese for example.

Yeah, not so fast. A geneticist friend of mine wants to modify an uncommon and high-value crop plant to have extras of its valuable bits. He hasn't made a viable true-breeding transgenic version of the plant yet.

(Mind you, he has a day job and also can usually be found chasing a new and even more expensive slut.)

Eugenics in the sense of artificial selection is far more practical, but also 100% certain to be misused or just fail. Israel has various schemes to promote breeding of their ideologically-preferred phenotypes, as does Singapore, but AFAIK they've mostly only suceeded in inspiring mocking memes.

betting against future tech is dumb.

Jetsons cars wen?

Will become normalized much after robot waifus tbh.

Cyberpunk Edgerunners is a more realistic view on the future.

they already sell flying cars in China.

And Uzbekistan, since 20 years ago. But they're not manouverable like the Jetsons, and likely will never be.

that's a strawman. i don't care about Jetsons.

Betting against future tech tsk tsk.

There is no reason to believe technology will continue to develop in any particular direction. The history of futurism is quite funny...

WE ALREADY HAVE THE TECH.

nobody says that our gene editing tech gets you everything you want on 1st attempt but constant progress is being made on GMO crops and we could have the same for humans

and as you pointed out even without gene editing selective breeding alone can accomplish this:

somebody told me something interesting - that black women who date white men have higher IQs than white women who date black men - i 100% believe that. because only a retarded hoe would date a nigger ! and only a smart Nigress like Candace Owens would recognize her own race is worthless garbage and dump it.

either way - gene editing or selective breeding - there is no basis for focusing on race ( when we can focus on things like IQ ) - let alone for focusing on eye color

only a low IQ plumber can be proud of his eye color in the same way as 6 year olds are proud of the shape of their belly button

Source on that IQ anecdote? Please? I know a girl who'll be tickled by a paper proving that!
