Wait, rationality is genetic? Since when?
Possibly not, but the desire to sterilize inconvenient people probably is.
This raises a question: has anyone done twin studies to determine whether any aspects of rationality do have a genetic element?
IQ improves rationality somewhat, and IQ is genetic.
Furthermore, consider reasoning with a prior over the heritability coefficient.
I see—you’re right that I don’t have any data against heritability of rationality.
(And JoshuaZ will need to take the IQ into account when doing the twin studies.)
