The NY Times is Now Openly Promoting Eugenics (Eugenics vs. Polygenics)

We discuss a shocking New York Times article advocating for breeding only short people to help the environment. This blatant eugenics promotion reveals the authoritarian thinking and moral blindspots on the left. We contrast it to polygenic selection which supports family choice, not society-wide suppression of "undesirable" genes. We also cover recent studies confirming left wing authoritarianism and the left's cultural genocide of minorities through forced assimilation.

Malcolm Collins: [00:00:00] Like, if you take two steps back from all this, it's like, I feel like that meme where they're like, you know,

how's it going now?

You know, and they're like, it's like New York times promoting eugenics to help the environment. Ooh, that bad, huh?

Yikes guys. Yeah, you, you are. Deep in the spiral now

Would you like to know more?

Malcolm Collins: Yeah, what did I do? Well, I thought that recorded. I clicked the camera because I could camera for recording. You know, we've only done this a hundreds of times now. And of course I turn off my camera anyway, whatever I did to be here with you because I have seen this trend in media recently that just flabbergasted.

So. For context here, Simone and I have gone through, you know, the, the rounds in progressive media over and over and over again, they hate that we do polygenic selection on our kids because, oh, my God, we believe that humans have genes and certain traits are [00:01:00] heritable and that families should have access to the reproductive choices to have kids the way that their culture says it's the.

the ethical way to have kids and in a way that nudges those genes in directions that their family values on an individual basis. Right. And as well,

Simone Collins: they unceasingly accuse us of eugenics, even though by the definition of eugenics that anyone could agree upon, like if you look at Wikipedia's definition of eugenics, we are very much against eugenics because one, we don't believe that there are universally good or bad traits.

And two, we are very much against trying to fight for. Promulgation or suppression of those universally good or bad traits in on a society level. Right? So

Malcolm Collins: like to point it out, like what we think is every culture and every family should have the right to choose what traits they think are best for their family to optimize around.

Right? And then as a society. Like, like, the world tests us and determines which families and which groups chose correctly. [00:02:00] Yeah, but

Simone Collins: there are different societal, environmental, economic, etc. contexts

Malcolm Collins: that make different traits useful. Yeah, and one of the interesting things that has been a theme to me recently is as soon as the left, like, accepts something that we've been trying to get them to accept forever, as like, don't immediately, like, run away screaming like you touched a hot stove when you mention something like humans have genes, their first intuition is always to take it to the most insane and evil place humanly imaginable.

And so the left has finally admitted That some traits in humans may have a genetic component and the very first thing they want to do is eugenics, like, like, bad eugenics, like evil state sanctioned, like, yeah,

Simone Collins: like you should only reproduce with these people.

Malcolm Collins: Eugenics. Yeah. Yeah. You should only reproduce with these.

people because these are the good people and other people are the bad people. Like, why can't the left just not be evil for five seconds? But anyway, and I'm not talking about fringe left here. Okay. So there was an article talking [00:03:00] about New York times and the New York times now that they have realized the humans have genes.

They're like, well, short people are better for the environment. Therefore you should only breed with short people. And. Hold on, so this isn't just like the New York Times. So the article in New York Times that goes over this is there has never been a better time to be short, but there have been other articles like this.

There was 1 in popular mechanics. You should make with short people to fight.

Climate change expert says there was you know. Yeah, there's been a few articles that have sort of gone over this. And

Simone Collins: by the way, nothing against short people, first off, I want to say that. Like, there are definitely, there are longevity benefits to being short.

There are health benefits to being short. And there are environmental benefits to being short. We're not saying, it's the fact that they're taking a eugenic stance on this that we have a problem with. In fact, we shared this article on Twitter and one of our followers pointed out quite cleverly and this is a very dangerous question to ask.

Which is wait, but like, [00:04:00] what's the difference between like a short person and like a thin person in terms of their environmental impact? Oh, I know. It's like,

Malcolm Collins: don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't watch out. Watch out. No, no, no, no, no, no,

Simone Collins: no, no, no, no. We can't talk about. But being

Malcolm Collins: fat isn't their fault, it's genetic.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that because if it's genetic, then they shouldn't be breeding because they're taking up more, they're making more carbon emissions here.

Simone Collins: Well, and not, not to mention government healthcare expenditures. I mean, the burden on governments and the private healthcare system and private citizens themselves.

Malcolm Collins: on. Hold on. There's no, a human can't burden the government with expenses. What are you talking about? We're talking about their burden on the environment. The thing that matters. Okay. Not their, not their fellow citizens. Right. But the environment. Environment. And, okay. How do we get out of this New York times?

How do we get out of this? Come on. Let's quick, quick, find a way. Fat people are a discriminated class therefore, [00:05:00] but aren't short people discriminated because

short people earn less money on average and short people get

Simone Collins: passed over on dating markets and yeah,

Malcolm Collins: dating markets. Ooh, they're just as arguably a discriminated class, but, but okay.

So here's how short people are different. Okay. I figured it out. So the left is a predominantly female, okay. These days as you see voting patterns, it's predominantly female and being short as a woman, is it discriminatory? And as a woman, I don't value short men. I mean, they're not really human because I don't want to breed with them.

This is the way that I think a lot of women intuitively actually see men where they're like, I don't mind when guys hit on me. And then it's like, they get the ugly guy, you know, there's that famous meme and they're like, ah,

HR because. Those guys aren't guys. They're like these monsters that mope around in society.

And

Simone Collins: they're like 5'2 and they have on their Tinder profile. Don't DM me

Malcolm Collins: unless you're over 6'4 or something like that, like ridiculous. So I think it's very normal for women to just blatantly dehumanize. And, and, and because the left is, is they [00:06:00] don't see short people as like really people, but when you talk about fat people, well, they could be fat.

I mean. Their friends could be fat, you know, and they, you know, when you talk about like progressive women, yes, they overwhe
