You can't really accuse the Dead Boys of bad taste and expect it to mean anything. What a dumb idea though

Rationalists like to keep all their eugenics talk hypothetical or speculative, because if you ever hear or read about actual neo-eugenics it become clear how outrageous it is

Eugenics in action:

Danish parenting tests under fire after baby removed from Greenlandic mother

Psychometric tests are widely used in Denmark as part of child protection investigations into new parents, and have long been criticised by human rights bodies as culturally unsuitable for Greenlandic people and other minorities.

In a 2022 report, the institute said that because the tests were not adapted to take cultural differences into account, Greenlandic parents ran “the risk of obtaining low test scores, so that it is concluded, for example, that they have reduced cognitive abilities, without there being actual evidence for this."

Psychological assessments of her were made by a Danish-speaking psychologist. Kronvold, whose first language is Kalaallisut (West Greenlandic), is not fluent in Danish.

It's very "should RFK Jr become a completely different person to the person he is and has been for years, he could really do some great stuff"

Please sneer at this article. I thought it was pissweak myself.

Edit: "Hear me out: RFK Jr could be a transformational health secretary"

Will a Republican-controlled Congress allow for more government regulation – even if it saves lives?

No. Next question.
