Brains are survival engines, not truth detectors
- Comment on ‘Eugenics on steroids’: the toxic and contested legacy of Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute 2 months ago:
that statement is such bullshit: it implies intelligence is an easily quantifiable and purely genetic trait. What constitutes intelligence? If i know quantum physics but nothing of genetic, how smart I am? If i know both but know nothing of sociology, of politics, of the injustices perpretrated in the world, how dumb does that make me? is it decided by my genetics, or is it the nurture i am shown and i have towards my intellect that grows it?
