I don't know how else to phrase it: the claim that intelligence is breedable is a eugenicist foundation.
Evolution is a process, you're confusing evolution with evolutionary science.
Your definition of intelligence is incredibly oversimplified. Intelligence is not an inheritable trait (as in: the difference in intelligence of human population does not significantly stem from genetic differences).
Yeah. That is a fundamentally eugenicist idea.
You repeatedly claim that it's a satire. What is the target and the purpose of that satire?
No, that's not what eugenicist theory means.
Eugenics starts with the statement that left to its' own, self-selecting devices, humanity is in danger of undesirable traits self-selecting in such a way that humanity might/will degenerate into something worse. Therefore, intervention is supposedly needed. That was the starting point of eugenic theories. It doesn't need any action taken, to be a eugenicist theory.
Claiming that eugenics starts at someone actively changing breeding patterns is like claiming that theoretical physics isn't physics.
Well, if you think something wrong, I guess that's a you problem.
You're again describing an eugenicist thought.
Article: Is Intelligence Hereditary? - Scientific American
That's not really a study, nor does it cite any.
Oh...I'm so very sorry. My sincerest apologies. I didn't realize you requested an academic study. What kind of study would you like me to produce for you, my lord? Should it be qualitative? Quantitative? Peer-reviewed?
...or better yet, how about you go fuck yourself? Take your uppity, ill-informed opinions and shove them straight up your tightwad asshole. K? Thaaanks!
... sorry, if I don't put much scientific trust in some article someone wrote? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No need to be butthurt about it.
