>>7734985>And genetic material is an infinitely more precious resource than steelwoah woah woah buddy, this is a patently false statement. Information which is capable of propagating itself is very much an unlimited resource, in fact one which is only limited from spread by geographic factors, which have so far been inexhaustible on Earth.
Trial and error does produce a massive amount of waste, but it more frequently produces a more optimal solution than theorization-development. I don't actually think the trial-and-error thing is applicable to finding a best race because there is no competing test case, no control in which people are producing people according to a system of eugenics. Trial and error is the state of human reproduction right now, whether for better or worse. I'd argue that more reproduction would inevitably lead to higher caliber individuals, with the concession that *filters* (of natural, not man-made origin) would produce higher quality humans at higher rates. These filters being hardships like plagues, droughts, mass-land-migrations.
I concede your dog-breeder point, but only because the dog-breeder has limited resources/time. If you really wanted to get the ideal dog, you'd let evolution take its course. The timescale of human racial shift is probably more on par with your limited-timescale ideas.
As an aside, could you tell me which goalposts I shifted, and how also how someone can be genetically incapable of a specific admission? Good luck with your book
