Dude, modern eugenics was invented almost 40 years before they knew genes were even a thing. Do you expect them pointing at a double helix and saying "this is the stupid gene", before you accept a premise that's based on breeding having an eugenic message?
Nice cherry-picking. In the rest of the clip, they're constantly ref renceing, how much "stupid" people breed. One punchline is specifically that a stupid person's junk was saved.
Do you know what "except" means?
When? When does it reference the dichotomy of nature vs. nurture.
"Tabula rasa" is used in German as an equivalent of "clean slate". I read that stuff up... the movie explicitly negates these behaviorist ideas. (Again: it focuses almost exclusively on breeding)
You would have a point if it would have focused more on the poor children being badly cared for, instead of slutshaming the poor.
Yes, and this movie was written in the 2000s... If we want to get pedantic with the science aspect, then your theory is out the window to begin with. 500 years is not long enough for a species to radically alter their intellect on a societal scale.
The rest of the clip? It's literally the end of the movie..... And again, there's no way to delineate if the stupidity in question is a byproduct of parenting vs "breeding" as you put it.
Lol, and how does it conflate poor people with stupidity? Just out of the blue....no context?
Lol, no it doesn't.
Lol, what are you talking about? I've brought up the care of children several times, and havent brought up sexual provocation at all?
I think you need to take a nap or something.
Keep at it homie. I got you way down here.
Lol, I really don't know what this guy's going on about. I feel the only way you could be this obtuse about nature vs nurture argument is if you actually believe intellect is a purely inherited trait.
