Is rationalism a humanism?

[Fireball]

Yeah, it's unfortunate.  I think the main reply is that eugenics -as a political program- doesn't work..but that's probably because the eugenicists tend to be more interested in racial purity™ and social ills than the genetic health of the population.

We already engage in ad hoc eugenics as sexual selectors.  I'd be surprised to find anyone hitting the bricks in search of the dumbest, ugliest, and least fit mate....but I don't wanna kinkshame, so...

For every scraggly horse, there's a scraggly bush to tie it to.
