to evolve does not necessarily mean to get better, it means
to become better adapted to ones environment, specifically
for the purposes of leaving larger litters. in the current welfare
state of the u.s., the best adapted is the teenage welfare mama.
while intellectuals agonize for years over the decision to bring
one offspring into the world, their better adapted counterpart
has already sired three or four, most of which will survive to
reproduce. in the current environment, it is not at all clear that
intelligence inhances survivability.
if extropians figure out how to clone high iq offspring, we will,
in the current environment at least, be devolving. {8-[ spike
