Why didn't more states fully commit to eugenics? The Nazis did but they were more focused on racial purity than other metrics and were destroyed pretty quickly. I'm surprised there hasn't been some third world dictator who's tried to make a country of high IQ supermodels through (potentially brutal) selective breeding methods

Didn't America and Britain do eugenics for a while?
>>184689961. Most people consider it an immoral practice2. People are reluctant to give the state the power to practice eugenics in the first place3. People can't agree on positive (encourage good traits) or negative (purge bad traits) eugenics4. People can't agree on which traits are good and which traits are bad5. It is incredibly difficult to encourage people to have more children if they already don't want it6. Genetics are expressed in environments, having good genetics doesn't mean you automatically succeed, a person with average genetics can end up better than someone with good genetics if they have a better upbringing.So in short, people don't want to give the state the power to sterilize or execute citizens based on arbitrary metrics set by some government bureaucrat in the hopes that the child will end up better compared to a child we can't know how they would've ended up as because they don't exist. We're content with the less controversial methods of eliminating malnutrition or making basic education compulsory so most citizens have a chance to reach their potential.
>>18468996Sweden and Denmark basically kept at it until the 1970s desu
>>18468996Because it doesn't work.
If eugenics worked don't you think it would have worked in the past?Your treating humans like farm animals right? Nothing about this is complicated I wonder why no one does it. It can't be because it doesn't work at all right?
>>18469132>Didn't America and Britain do eugenics for a while?The U.S. pioneered eugenics and at the time it was seen as progressive and ScIeNcE!! by people like Margaret Sanger. Poor people, low IQ, native Americans and especially “tri racial isolates” (rural communities of poor whites, blacks and Indians) were targeted for sterilization.
