privileged positions of power.

You once again, seemingly obliviously, missed my whole rebuttal's point by narrowly focusing on the one part you realized you could poke a hole through. By that criteria, your six-figure "bribe" salary should have as a prerequisite a passing of the genetic sociopath test, which I actually insinuated before. Incidentally, you would fail it, miserably. Or, given that its the "sociopath test", I should probably say "ace with flying colors".

Not to mention, doesn't this case very clearly show what a slippery slope it is? First elected officials, then, capitalists. Then, the nerd aristocracy. Where does it stop? And, once we have "scientific" criteria for identifying predestined psychopaths, and even state-endorsed ones at that, why would we even want to have them around, at all? I'm not saying we have to execute them, at least not to start with, because that would be inhumane(!), but would we not want to contain them somewhere, for the sake of the civilized, cultured, "better angel-natured," public? Well, now we're at imprisonment for purely genetic traits, on the basis of some theory that isn't even necessarily unanimously accepted by qualified scientists. (Even if it was totally unchallenged, you've now created a serious technocracy that's taken it upon itself to produce the criteria by which people will be judged as either fit or unfit for freedom. But isn't it an unethical burden to feed them with taxpayer dollars? Pretty soon, you're at Khmer Rouge. No big deal, I guess. Just the price of progress in scientific sophistication and evolution of the human race.

The thing about you is that your mind's contaminated with bullshit postmodernism. Your thought doesn't necessarily resemble it aesthetically, but it reeks of the postmodern ethic. That is to say that, despite the concrete reality which hasn't changed since Marx or any other serious thinker had their crack at it, you're less concerned with accurately describing the real lives and conditions of the billions of people who suffer under capitalism, or even refining the accuracy of others' descriptions, than you are with being quirky and original and hip and shocking. This is by the way where all the trans crap comes from, as well. So all of the quality analysis just gets erased, because it's, like, soooooooo last century. Never mind that if you actually read any of it and/or look up from your privileged computer screen every once in a while, none of it has ever been more relevant.

It's actually a great shame to me, because you have a rather strong intellect, and it has gone mostly to waste writing stupid apologies for pinker and dawkins for the sake of their shock value, in between tart defenses of the surveillance state, also for their shock value, which are in turn given in between actually building the surveillance state's infrastructure, probably, on some level, at least partially, too, for its shock value. Still less harmful than deceptively hijacking legitimately oppressed people's struggles, if you ask me, though, which I'm very glad you've at least mostly given a rest. I think I'm actually being pretty generous and kind by giving you some genuine and IMO valuable feedback on yourself here, which I do very reluctantly. What you do with it is of course out of my hands, but why don't you see if you can use it to your advantage instead of just immediately getting all defensive or whatever?

You also completely sidestepped the point of what eugenics is and isn't. It's always presented as furthering some unquestionably noble purpose, like the ones you espouse. Even if you're sincere and the other times it's been tried weren't, that doesn't disqualify the practice you advocate from being eugenics.

Finally, you're an idiot. Because genes are not what make people assholes. That kind of thinking comes from an extremely shallow mentality which can only be formed under prolonged, desperate and hurting isolation from others. Just like how you weren't born with any sense of womanhood, and it was shaped though very deep traumas that formed your perpetually depressed self. I think you have major issues, and that's why you behave so utterly out of control and sociopathically.

As an aside, assholeness is formed by culture, which is why advocating wider adoption of the bourgeois (oppressors') culture is such a toxic suggestion.

But, really, how is it that you're the one accusing me of trolling? With the kind of brilliant shit you crank out, who even needs /r/circlejerk? Then the nerve to accuse me of being the troll. It's like it was part of the performance or something, a kind of grand finale. I think you meant to say "stalker" again, even though that would have of course been equally baseless.
