Then you throw out all the hard parts of the question like: Then you ignore all of history

Seems to me that this is all swimming in the same water as End of History and anti-politics: defining humans and humanity out of the problem space, and insisting that in order to be taken seriously you must be focused only on productivity, good governance, and technological progress, the only problems.

"Well, step one will naturally have to be that every single person in the world accepts that I am the pinnacle of evolution and everybody else is comparatively worthless and nothing but a waste of space. Once we got that out of the way, we can tackle the question of how to make humanity as cool and awesome as I am while weeding out all the factors I do not approve of. Why is everybody looking at me like I am the crazy one? Didn't we just establish that everybody else is inferior trash?"

Aella always my go-to on consent issues

In the netherlands they apologized and are giving trans people affected money over this, doubt it applies to you (if it does you obv already knew) but yes it was fucked up.

Also, the premier thirstfluencer of the Rationalist Right.

If you could harness the unrequitable longing of her numerous incel followers and convert it to energy, you could bootstrap the Basilisk off it, even allowing for losses due to no-fap covenant violations.

hahahahahahahahahahaha

The sex research stuff reminds me of the time a bunch of my friends got their first introduction to Aella. Someone posted in the group chat one of her Buzzfeed personality quizzes masquerading as respectable sexuality/kink surveys where at the end it tells you what fictional character your sex life resembles. Aside from myself, only one of my friends in the group knew who Aella is and the one who did didn't realize it was her.

Anyway, if you want to make a good impression on a new group of people, maybe don't make a cute and kinky fun little sex survey that compares some of them to Jabba the Hutt.

Epilogenic - relating to or involved in the creation of an epilogue

Would be nice if this actually did cause the end and some kind of metaphorical postscript of eugenics but I doubt it's going to be that easy.

An epilator is an electrical device used to remove hair by mechanically grasping multiple hairs simultaneously and pulling them out. The way in which epilators pull out hair is similar to waxing, but unlike waxing, they do not remove cells from the epidermis. Epilators may use an electric motor or be manually powered with a spring. They may also come with various attachments, like a smaller head to help with epilation of hard-to-reach areas, or an exfoliation head that may help exfoliate the skin before and after epilation.

Epilation can be painful to some people because, as with waxing, it involves pulling hair out of the roots. Because the first epilation of an area is often especially painful, some people prefer to have the area professionally waxed first, then use epilation to remove regrowth.[1] Pain from epilation is sometimes mitigated by reducing the speed of the device, relaxing the skin with a hot shower or bath, or using a numbing cream on the skin before epilation.

Spring type

Epilator in use.

The first type of epilator was the original Epilady released in Israel, and manufactured by Mepro in kibbutz HaGoshrim in 1986.[2] The design incorporated a coil spring, which was bowed into a curve such that the coils on one side of the spring were squeezed tightly together while on the other side the coils were spread apart. The motor in the epilady rotated the spring, causing it to flex as it rotated. Moving the rotating spring across the skin caused the hairs to be caught up in the spring and pulled out through hair follicles.[3]

Because the springs flexed continuously, they were subject to occasional failure and were sold separately as a replacement part.[citation needed]

Today, there are manual epilators designed for the face that do not use a power supply. This design consists simply of a coil spring with two handles. The spring is then bowed into a curve and placed upon the unwanted facial hair whilst turning the handles. This caused the hairs to be caught between the coils of the springs and pulled out from the roots.[citation needed]

Rotating disc type

The Remington Lady Remington Smooth and Silky was designed to operate in a similar way to the spring type Epilady, except that a series of metal discs were used instead of a spring. It was the subject of extensive patent litigation in Europe due to a conceptual similarity to the spring type epilator.[4] The UK patent infringement case is known as Improver Corporation v Remington Consumer Product Limited [1990] F.S.R. 181.

Tweezer type

The rotating disc design has been refined such that, in modern designs, the plates are no longer complete discs. The head of a modern epilator incorporates a series of metal plates mounted in a plastic housing. The ends of the plates may be exposed at one or both sides of the housing. As the head rotates, the tips of the plates move together and apart once per revolution. This creates a tweezing effect, where the hair between the plates, when they close, is pulled as the plates rotate away from the skin, then released as the plates separate. This allows a continuous cycle of gripping, pulling, extracting and discarding the hair as the epilator is moved across the skin.

Depending upon the strength and brittleness of the hair, some may snap off rather than being pulled out. Because those hairs snap off just above the skin surface, they can look somewhat like stubble from shaving, but are far more sparsely spread because the other hairs have been pulled out entirely. As with waxing, because of the phases of growth that occur with hair, there is not as much regrowth following the first epilation. Regular epilation of regrowth is less painful than the initial epilation and the number of broken off hairs diminishes with regular epilation.

Wet use type

Many modern epilators have a built in rechargeable battery and are designed to be used either wet or dry. These types of devices are built to be used in or out of the shower or with an optional cream or gel. The use of a skin cream or gel is said to be helpful with reducing the pain and irritation associated with the dry use only devices.[5]

I didn’t know the “eu” in “eugenics” came from greek.

Further fun facts: Eugene (the name) is greek for noble born, but since like most people we did away with nobles a long time ago now eugenic just means to have good manners, so when the modern term 'eugenics' came to Greece it was regreekified into eugonics (ευγονική).

5, is the implication is that the OP thinks anti-incest laws are eugenics and therefore bad and therefore should be abolished???

I think they're saying that actually everyone loves Eugenics they just don't know it yet.

What's "that whole eudaimonia thing from a while back"? (I'm familiar with the concept of eudaimonia in general, but I'm not sure what you're referring to)

this is dude echoing the race scientists' own bad-faith arguments, where they claim that any selection whatsoever concerning partners - and especially not wanting to fuck them - is the same as race science really if you think about it
