Dawkins talking Eugenics?

in philosophy •  5 years ago 

Don't we already sort of do that in our system through society and hypergamy woman want to mate with the men with the money and the greatest chance of getting success for themselves and their offspring.

While this doesn't produce necessarily faster people it does block certain genetics in the gene pool from moving forward just because its not institutionary decided doesn't mean its not happening already.

I like how Matt put it... it's decentralized breeding selection. It may sound gimmicky for us crypto folks, but it's pretty accurate.

I like that description, it makes a lot of sense but I wouldn't way its more or less virtuous than eugenics. We just love putting ourselves on a pedestal don't we?
