**The Left:** You know what Starjello, you're right. **Me:** Really? About what? **The Left:** [Hereditarianism](https://infogalactic.com/info/Hereditarianism) and eugenics. **Me:** Wow! I'm really glad you came around. **The Left:** We are too. Say, could you remind us of what what the first law of behavioral genetics is? **Me:** [All human behavioral traits are heritable.](http://www.unz.com/jman/all-human-behavioral-traits-are-heritable/) **The Left:** Right. That gives us a good idea for a eugenics plan. **Me:** Great! What is it? **The Left:** We're going to forcibly sterilize racists, misogynists, homophobes and other people gripped by hate. **Me:** https://pic8.co/sh/Pn6GhO.jpeg **The Left:** Except it isn't. You know that a eugenics plan has [legal ground](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/future-ruin-argument-eugenics-augustus-sol?published=u&redirectFromSplash=true). **Me:** I don't support coercive sterilizations and your definition of undesirable traits is too broad. I feel like it would disproportionately affect white people with more conservative values. **The Left:** Not wanting to coercively sterilize isn't very [effectively altruistic](https://poal.co/s/Eugenics/48576). **Me:** Are you mock... **The Left:** Wouldn't a sterilization program to reduce low IQ fertility disproportionately affect blacks? **Me:** Yes, but IQ is important... **The Left:** More important than empathy? We certainly don't think so. **Me:** It's extremely [well-validated and the top predictor of life outcomes](https://www.quora.com/What-is-more-beneficial-in-all-aspects-of-life-a-high-EQ-or-IQ-This-question-is-based-on-the-assumption-that-only-your-EQ-or-IQ-is-high-with-the-other-being-average-or-below-this-average/answer/Jordan-B-Peterson). **The Left:** That sounds like a dog whistle. Empathy is the most important trait and your attempt to "empirically" debunk EQ is just your way of justifying dehumanization. **Me:** What happened to choosing science over fiction? That's... **The Left:** The truth. This is why we choose [truth over facts](https://mobile.twitter.com/RealSaavedra/status/1159550596107554816?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1159550596107554816&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fvdare.com%2Fposts%2Fbiden-poor-kids-are-just-as-bright-and-talented-as-white-kids). **Me:** That makes no sense. **The Left:** To someone obsessed with factual correctness, it doesn't. To someone who cares about [moral correctness](https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/01/06/ocasio-cortez_people_being_more_concerned_about_me_being_factually_correct_than_morally_right.html) it makes perfect sense. **Me:** But... **The Left:** You lack the institutional backing we have. We have news outlets, TV, movies, Silicon Valley and academia. As long as we own cultural institutions, we can speak our truths of our lived experiences. **Me:** Why are you doing this? **The Left:** We’re in charge and you’re just shouting from the cheap seats. But thanks for the tip, hon.
