Techno-optimists like Elon Musk preach that the human spirit and will to invent, to create, and to problem solve is the solution to the problems we face, including climate change, pollution, and resource depletion. This optimism is based on the technological progress of the last 300 years. If mankind can go from horseback to rocketships this quickly, surely we can accomplish unthinkable feats in the future.
This optimism, however, depends on the internal, inherent, baseline mental and spiritual quality of humanity remaining the same as it was in the past. From a Christian, leftist, or liberal perspective, human quality is an eternal, Platonic axiom. Human spiritual quality is inviolable — it is a gift from God which cannot be worsened or better. Eugenics, therefore, is not just morally wrong, but logically impossible. Humans are the crown of creation, made in the image of God. Any attempt to improve upon God’s creation and create utopia will only end in the suffering of millions, as Jordan Peterson tells us was the sin of communists and Nazis.
This is a religious dogma which cannot be argued against, since it is based on faith alone. Anyone who deviates from this narrative is an evil heretic, and must repent or be excommunicated from academia and polite society. You wouldn’t want your daughter sleeping with a eugenicist. If your son is a eugenicist, you have failed as a mother.
A scientific approach to these matters can begin in the following way: is it possible to decrease the spiritual or psychological qualities of mankind by biological means? The answer is a resounding yes. In ancient times, lead plumbing is speculated to have contributed to the decline of Roman civilization. The notion of a “mad hatter” came from the fact that hatters handled mercury. Drugs such as alcohol, psychedelics, hallucinogens, opiates, psychoactives, and narcotics all have temporary effects, but if used by children or in excess, can have long term damaging effects. Mothers who drink risk giving their children fetal alcohol syndrome. Children who smoke weed risk greater rates of schizophrenia, depression, and memory loss. Users of ayahuasca, LSD, and magic mushrooms risk a “bad trip” which could severely degrade their sense of reality and self without the possibility of recovery. Drugs such as Ritalin are essentially low grade versions of amphetamine, which when forced upon children (usually boys), can degrade, in the long term, the body’s natural ability to produce dopamine, leading to anhedonia.
Besides all of these chemical interventions, there are also identifiable genetic diseases which worsen a person’s mental and spiritual qualities. Down’s Syndrome, severe (non-verbal) autism, and schizophrenia are all debilitating and heritable. Incest is correlated with all sorts of genetic diseases, including those which degrade spiritual and mental qualities. Studies of culturally accepted incest, as in the case of Pakistan, among the Habsburg monarchs, or in extreme cases of isolated families in Appalachia and Australia, show the deleterious effect of inbreeding:
Of the female respondents [239 women from southwestern rural Virginia] in the sexual history /incest survey, 38 percent indicated that they had at least one incestuous sexual experience before the age of 18 years. In half of these cases, the other person involved was a brother. Uncles accounted for 27 percent of the reported incest [..], and fathers accounted for 15 percent of the reports[.]1
It is undeniable that incest leads to the degradation of human quality. In the face of science, it is not possible to ignore the relevance of genetics to the human potential for invention, creativity, and problem solving.
While incest may not becoming more prevalent over time, psychologist Richard Lynn argued in his book Dysgenics (1996) that, since individuals with lower intelligence have a higher birthrate than individuals with higher intelligence, the average heritable intelligence of humanity is decreasing over time. This is a trend which began with the decrease of birthrates in the 18th century, correlated with the rise in literacy and mass education.
McGenics
Classical or historical eugenics was a public, explicit, and authoritarian movement, which sought the mass testing of all individuals through the state bureaucracy. For individuals below a certain level of behavior (criminals, the insane, the mentally disabled), eugenicists prescribed compulsory sterilization. Later on, eugenicists such as Margaret Sanger advocated for a form of “voluntary eugenics,” where poor mothers would be encouraged to have abortions. Sanger and her cohort promoted the use of contraception, which she hoped that the lower classes would adopt to save themselves from the financial burden of childrearing, which would ultimately improve the stock of humankind.
As the KKK was defeated as a political organization in 1924, and Naziism was defeated in 1945, classical eugenics has become politically and morally untenable in polite society. However, this does not mean that Sanger’s vision has died. Abortion has had a dramatic effect on America’s demographics, cutting the black population in half of what it would be without abortion. Black Americans, more than any other group, are more likely to use condoms. This has not reduced their rate of STDs, but it has likely reduced their fertility.
However, merely promoting contraception and abortion has not been enough to eliminate the dysgenic trend identified by Lynn. More aggressive means would be needed. Morally and politically, such measures seem outside of the question for leftists, liberals, evangelicals, and Catholics. There is no democratic path to eugenics. Instead, corporate America has been the vehicle for what could be termed “McDonalds Eugenics.”
The crisis of biological infertility is stark. Sperm counts have dropped by 50%. Never before in human history have human beings been so biologically incapable of reproduction. This trend is not accidental — it is conscious, conspiratorial, and intentional. Alex Jones was right. The Georgia Guidestones clearly articulate the globalist depopulation agenda. The elites are trying to genocide the masses.
Jones opposes eugenics on liberal, libertarian, Christian, egalitarian, and populist grounds. Jones is unable or unwilling to confront Lynn’s thesis through a scientific lens: his approach is purely dogmatic, or perhaps calculated for democratic appeal. Whatever his motivations, the populist morality of Jones is the standard of the entire right wing. Nick Fuentes, Elon Musk, and Viktor Orban: the global populist right seems hellbent on increasing birthrates, no matter the genetic consequences.
Thankfully, they have powerful opponents: Bill Gates, George Soros, Larry Fink, and Klaus Schwab all understand the threat of populism and its democratic morality. The have formed an effective coalition of global elites who promote “McDonalds Eugenics.”
The premise of McGenics is simple: promote anything and everything which reduces fertility. Smart people will avoid these low hanging, poisonous fruits, while stupid people will gobble them up. In other words, McGenics is a form of pest control, placing out mice traps and poisonous food for the masses to eat. The dumbest mice get trapped, while the smartest avoid the trap and reproduce.
Unlike classical eugenics, McGenics is not public, bureaucratic, explicit, authoritarian, or coercive. It does not require eugenic councils, stormtroopers, standardized testing, a police state, fascist parades, or concentration camps. No one is forced to eat fast food. It is all voluntary. Rather than fighting the logic of democracy, it uses the logic of democracy with the skill of judo to turn it against itself.
Dumb people cannot help but eat McDonalds. However, intelligence is not the only factor being selected for in McGenics. Mentally ill people are especially targeted. Although conservative Christians like JK Rowling are desperate to protect trans people from their own mental illness, McGenics encourages voluntary castration. Under McGenics, mental illness is incentivized, aggravated, targeted, and encouraged. The result is that the 10% of the population which is the least sexually dimorphic, the least mentally stable, and the most sadomasochistic are led to self-sterilization.
Conservative Christians are opposed to the idea that homosexuality has biological or genetic origins. They see homosexuality as a satanic mind virus. They seek to suppress homosexual identity and expression, and wish to force gays through “conversion therapy.” Conversion therapy is a combination of NLP behavioral modification with electro-shock torture. Despite what liberals contend, it is possible to force homosexuals to reproduce. But is this desirable from a eugenic standpoint?
Conclusion
Classical eugenics was systemically defeated, politically and morally, between 1924 and 1945. However, the problem of dysgenics has only become more pressing. Humanity is polluting the planet, destroying our natural resources, destroying the environment, and putting us on the course of mass extinction through the flagrant use of weapons of mass destruction. Elon Musk is correct to say that the genius which sent us to the moon is the only possibility of salvation.
However, having more babies is not the best means to preserve this genius. On the contrary, more babies means more dysgenics, and more problems. The Apollo Program which sent us to the moon required 400,000 people. Assuming that each of these 400,000 employees require 100 slaves or servants to take care of their basic needs (housing, farming, recreation), then the earth needs a population of 40 million people to achieve space travel: less than 0.5% of our current global population.
Radical right-wingers advocate disastrous, apocalyptic visions of the world: genocide, nuclear war, “billions must die.” But warfare is dysgenic: the best men go to the front lines, while the weak and infirm remain at home. Europe lost its best men in the tragedies of the world wars. While nuclear war would reduce the population, it would not be eugenic.
Instead, McGenics, or liberal eugenics, presents a sensible, pragmatic, and feasible means of reducing the worst elements of humanity, while at the same time allowing the best and brightest to voluntarily avoid McDonalds, transgenderism, and drug use. By promoting everything bad, only the smartest and most mentally stable people will survive. Gay pride, fast food, and marijuana are not just opiates for the masses: they are a form of sterilization. Intelligent, mentally stable people will avoid these, and reproduce. Idiots and the insane are attracted to every poison pill. The logic of democracy is turned against itself.
While the promotion of mass insanity and poisonous food seems to be a recipe for the collapse of civilization, it is in fact the most effective eugenic program. By targeting the most vulnerable members of society, McGenics is forcing humanity to undergo an ugly process of aborting its worst elements. This process is disgusting, and it is bringing out all the worst aspects of human nature and putting them on full display. Conservatives, with their higher disgust response, seek to cover up this ugliness, and impose fascistic Christianity once again.
However, Francoism cannot save us. The problem of dysgenics is too severe to be dealt with by classical means. There is no time to waste in attempting to change the entire morality of the west from a Christian or liberal egalitarianism to some form of authoritarian Nietzscheanism. Instead, this morality must be subverted from within and its own logic used against itself to produce the necessary outcomes. Once this process is complete, the resulting human material will be ripe for a new moral paradigm. The philosophy of Ubermensch cannot arrive until after the biological victory of the Ubermensch.2
The conservative Christian, walking in the forest, comes upon a dead corpse. This dead body, rotting and decaying, disgusts him. He picks it up, brings it to the mortuary, and embalms and fortifies it with formaldehyde into a perfectly preserved mummy. He prides himself on saving the corpse from the feast of maggots and worms. But the conservative Christian is fighting the law of nature, and making humanity into a doll-house of corpses, meant for display with no higher purpose.
The Deep Leftist understands the law of nature, and acts in accordance with it. He sees the decaying corpse, but does not lay down beside it. He steps over it. Let the dead bury the dead. Only by accordance with this law can humanity overcome dysgenics, so that genius may reemerge out of the morass of democracy and chart a course to the stars.

Esoterically, however, it could be argued that the elites pushing McGenics are all consciously aware of Nietzsche and his critiques of the Last Man. Therefore, philosophy is still the father of biology, as preached by Plato.
Fascinating, hilarious, and horrific. A great read.
Really enjoyed this piece. One of your best maybe.
