It’s quicker to recruit existing people and turn them into rationalists than to create new people from scratch. This approach will eventually exhaust the gene pool, but not for hundreds of generations.
But training new rationalists “from scratch” seems far more practical for purely experimental purposes. Don’t they make the perfect cute little control groups, after all?

But far less fun!

Good luck explaining Bayes’ law to people with IQs below 90.
