It's moving the personal locus control into an institutional one, but in this case the institution is a university or pharmaceutical corporation rather than a government.
I am not arguing in support of option four, only laying it out. Whether a "eugenic" solution is truly eugenic or not, is besides whether the state may be or currently is in pursuit of it or not.
The manners novels like Jane Austen and others wrote were personalized eugenics, ie don't marry the smooth talking heart breaker
The future, it seems to me, is about converting the nature of a thing, including cultural processes, from implicit to explicit. It is a matter of "what is the will of civilization? What is it intentionally moving toward?"
Without which, we're all just adrift in history.
Fix the culture and you'll get that anyways.
Excellent, couldn't agree more.

I know. What I'm saying is that the state, so long as it exists, will have an effect on the reproductive success of some groups of people, and whether it's eugenic or dysgenic is dependent on the goals of the people involved. Setting no goals is only an option if there is no state.
Carol Quigley in Tragedy and Hope even argued that the fundamental goal of a state is to further the reproductive aims of those that control it. The jews that control our state now see dysgenics for us (reduced IQ, slavish obedience, dependant thought) as eugenic for themselves.

100% agreed. Much of our enemy's power has come from distorting our implicit rules into the opposite of their intended goals. Make it explicit and it becomes very hard to do that.
