I value the idea of selectively breeding humans to improve the race as long as it's done voluntarily, but at the same time I'm not so sure what we would select for would be ultimately beneficial, like the now much maligned Red Delicious apple that were selectively bred for decades to look better but unintentionally became horrible tasting.

Often people say they want to breed out things like drug addiction and mental instability... but would a world of normie NPCs really be an improvement? I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have most of our modern technology if we had been actively engaging in eugenics for the last 80 years.

Mentally stable people who don't do drugs don't always have to be "normie NPCs".

Otherwise, very based.

With LSD you could become the next Boris Gates.

Or I could become a homeless junkie as it could be a slippery slope to other hard drugs & addiction.
