When I was a freshman in college I thought “Surely nobody would want to inherit genetic diseases, and why wouldn’t we want to to try and make people just naturally live longer, healthier lives?” but then I did even the tiniest bit of research on how eugenics actually worked and I completely abandoned that line of thinking.
I like to see what’s going on in the handheld emulator world!
I was telling a customer that he had to wear a mask to enter my place of business during COVID masking mandates, and he got furious and called me a “white privilege redneck libtard” and I’m just astonished at that particular combination of words to angrily shout.
People are actually meant to be functionally immortal, but ghosts always catch up to us and make us die within about a century at most.
That’s certainly one of the points that I needed to learn about. There are certainly genetic diseases like congenital heart defects or hemophilia. But then there are genetic differences that might seem maladaptive under certain given circumstances, but wouldn’t be any issue at all or might even confer advantages under different societal contexts. And then there are the straightforward differences that eugenics-obsessed regimes like to define as undesirable, like having the wrong hair, eye, or skin color, and then use that as an excuse to persecute whomever they want to. The whole thing is irreparably fucked.
