Why do people worry about stupid people out reproducing intelligent people? Are we genetically savvy enough to even think about something like this? I was reading on the Amish a little bit lately and they are a very close knit community with little interaction with the outside world. The article mentioned that there are hardly any family names. There are approximately 5 or 6 family names you hear all the time and that as a population they have a higher incidence of dwarfism, but at the same time they seem to be a very dignified, peaceful people.

What if stupid people's reproduction were to be regulated? What is the chance that we could affect something in the gene pool that we know nothing about. What if it turns out after we isolate the purpose of genes that certain genes have symbiotic purposes and we disrupt those purposes tinkering around with what we think we understand. Didn't we just upset natural selection? What if we are able to isolate the "stupid" gene and it turns out its related to another gene that regulates body temperature?

I'm genetically savvy enough to specify a group that composes 0.2% of the world's population yet has won 25% of all Nobel Prizes awarded. And no worries raised by reproductive isolation of this group; there's 3,000 years precedent of good results.

So, um, could we get a few more Jews over here plz? Might be nice. 14M isn't very many to go around when we have like 6B Gentiles mucking everything up.

can we ban this guy for racism? why is it ok to act like jews are superior to everyone else, even if its a joke? if you switch jews with gentiles or jews with whites and gentiles with african americans it would be an instaban. so sick.

at least give him a little ban, for equality's sake.

ZOMG REVERSE RACISM AMIRITE??!?!

from what i have heard/read, there are so many different genetic diseases that follow jews because jews tend to reproduce primarily with other jews making it more probable that these recessive genes present themselves, less genetic variation has its benefits and pitfalls
