I think “completely fucked up” is more appropriate:
Planned Parenthood, a major abortion provider, is soliciting Mother’s Day gifts for itself.
In a May 3 e-mail blast, Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s president, Cecile Richards, asked recipients to “Make a Mother’s Day Gift” by donating to the organization – a solicitation that some critics say is ironic given that many Planned Parenthood clinics perform abortions. [emphasis mine]
The e-mail reads:
“Dear Friend, Join us! Make a Mother’s Day gift. My daughter, Hannah, recently wrote this for a national magazine:
‘I was raised by strong women. My mom, Cecile Richards, fights daily for women’s reproductive rights and social justice as president of Planned Parenthood. It’s a legacy she got from her mom (my late grandma), Ann Richards, the former governor of Texas. I’ve learned that the most rewarding battles in life are those waged for something you truly believe in.’ …
“… As Mother’s Day approaches, I am grateful for the opportunity to make a difference and hope you’ll join me. Happy Mother’s Day.”
Unfortunately, there’s no point in making this shit up.

Oh. Yes. Planned Parenthood has a lot pillaged and desecrated so many holy wombs that for them to exploit Mother’s Day is sacrilege most foul. And then watch them get all whiny when someone throws a pipe bomb at them. They’re so venal and calling themselves Planned Parenthood is such a sick joke. They oughta call themselves Planned Ripping Little Babies Out Of People’s Wombs is what they oughta call themselves. I need to go lie down now.

Maybe I jumped to a wrong conclusion. The comparison to Dachau and the general tenor of moral revulsion seemed like good indicators, but I’m sure there’s some nuance that I’m missing. Something that makes abortion like the extermination of the Jews, but yet legally permissible.

The other day the sister of the happyfeet she said hey I’m having a baby and then happyfeet is of course the only person in the family that is all like are you sure that’s a good idea? (dot dot dot) and everyone is all like you silly happyfeet you have to know that dot dot dot would devastate her emotionally and so I call the sister of the happyfeet and express great enthusiasm for her impending maternal adventure and she said I love you and I said I love you too and then she lost the baby yesterday. So now we say things like this is the Lord’s way and happyfeet is saying this is the Lord’s way and thinking ok so maybe that repulsive guy isn’t going to ruin Christmas after all maybe.

Comment by psycho... on 5/10 @ 4:04 pm #
How about the way that this heavily government-funded organization, whose founding purpose was the depression of reproductive rates among those whom the Progressives deemed unfit to breed (i.e., the poor and/or black), continues, in defiance of the “genetic fallacy,” to do just that, with or without any conscious effort on the part of the organization’s current members, supporters, and funders to continue its eugenic project?
Is that exterminatey enough to allow the analogy? I think so.
(And I don’t care about abortion. My principled position is almost the same as the incoherent one Kerry accidentally flip-flopped himself into: it’s murder, and it shouldn’t be illegal. I only think it’s wrong when it’s planned.)

Sorry to hear that, hf. She doing alright?
My older sister was devastated when she had a miscarriage. It would have been her fourth child. Hubby did not want another one, so there was a real difference in how the two of them reacted to the miscarriage. That was the point when their marriage really started to run downhill.

Ardsgaine, WTF? How the hell do you get from my feeling that this is sick to the idea that I oppose legal abortion? What is it about me that bothers you so much?
I think that it’s a matter of conscience and a matter of free will. I think it’s wrong, but I’m not going to impose that on someone else. On the other hand, I’m not going to make nice with infanticide, which is what I believe it is, most of the time. So, once again, WTF?
Comment by Enoch_Root - twp on 5/10 @ 5:44 pm #
My brother, whom I love very much, is tragically off of his rocker on this one. Here’s the deal: any time a person is murdered, it isn’t good. In fact it is Evil, with a big ol’ ‘E’. There is no nuance. And it’s not about forcing your beliefs on others, any more than stopping someone from smothering their newborn baby.
How do we know we aren’t killing the Doctor who will cure AIDS? Lemme get this straight: cutting down the rain forest is bad, ’cause there might be some herb that offers hope for Michael Fox, or a homeopathic manner that Baby Boomers can keep nailing one another without the bummer of pharma… Yeah, makes sense.

“How do we know we aren’t killing the Doctor who will cure AIDS?” We know that because we are quite sure no one will grow up to cure anything when they are dead. If it’s predestined, it’s obviously not going to happen as a result of a dead person growing up to be a brilliant scientist. And if it’s chance, that person isn’t the lucky one who will win the Nobel. Sheesh, ask me the odds for the 2008 Kentucky Derby next, won’t you?

Dan, you can’t honestly call it infanticide and believe it should be legal. Either you believe there’s a difference, or you don’t. If you don’t, then you should be howling to the heavens that the practice must be stopped. If you do, then the exagerration just confuses the issue.

No, really they do. When you validate climate change and divert kabillions of resources to stupid carbon sequestrations and regimes and such, people die what could have lived. When you say hey everybody let’s make corn gas, people die cause they get hungry. When you say hey let’s nationalize all the hospitals and have price controls for drugs people die cause socialized medicine is all about triage and not much about r&d. People kill each other a lot casually all the time. In France they killed like ten thousand old people cause it got warm outside and then they blamed it on climate change.

Don’t be silly. Of course they do. Raising CAFE standards will kill people – only a few thousand a year but if you draw the short straw…
The FDA kills people every day and has since inception. In the name of safety, too.
The WHO has killed more people in Asia Africa and South America than America has lost in wars since its beginning.

Comment by Dan Collins on 5/10 @ 6:22 pm #
No. I’m not going to budge on this. I believe it’s infanticide. I realize lots of people don’t. They’re wrong. They are damning themselves. The place where I have to win this is from the pulpit, not from the bench. Because if I compel (or try to compel) their belief, then I deny them their agency.
I don’t want them to choose wrongly. I don’t want these children to die. It is not my decision.

No, it’s not your choice, Dan. Abortion exists. The only relevant question is whether or not it is safe or dangerous. Leave your moral disquisition on the exit ramp where it belongs.

You know I’ve been thinking and it seems to be a lot more likely that the guy or maybe girl who is gonna cure AIDS unfortunately had to drop out of grad school cause of some impregnation what happened and they had to get a job and start a 529 account and learn how to cook quick, low cost, tasty meals.

Absolute bullshit. If good people do not speak up, then they will share responsibility for this evil process. If one can speak up, and convince someone to have that child, then there’s at least one soul saved. Soul, you say? There’s the difference between atheists and godbotherers…we who do, recognize that we have souls. If souls are not ‘assigned’ at conception, then when?
Not only do we who have souls have a right to speak up against such a heinous process (and Planned Parenthood operates as much a mechanical process as manufacturing a car), we have a responsibility to our own souls to speak up.
I differ from Dan only in I do want laws that limit the process. According to that little counter thingy in my sidebar, we’ve killed 6,648,010 babies since the start of the Iraq war, using the abortion process. How many of those abortions were just for convenience? That’s where I would see some nice morality codified in sensible law.
Otherwise, I would say let the liberals eat their own.
Comment by cynn on 5/10 @ 7:05 pm #
OK, you get off on your orgy of fetal detritus. Planned Parenthood makes with a ham[fisted appeal. What’s the point? Your’re certainly not going to raise these children yourselves, are you?

Planning Parenthood is important, yes, and understanding why planning is important has to be taught, ideally in the family setting. Facilitating abortions as often as Planned Parenthood does them isn’t much planning, that’s more like a slaughterhouse. Given the numbers. Not illegal, but more like the death penalty; difficult to process.
Blame Planned Parenthood for this. They are the ones who bring this up on Mother’s Day, begging for funds. Like al-Qaeda soliciting for donations on 9-11.

What’s the point? Your’re certainly not going to raise these children yourselves, are you?
Me personally? No. But there are tons of people who are desperate to adopt. Tons. They have to be drug through several legal knotholes and ride the emotional roller-coaster until their hearts break wide open. If they’re lucky, they get a kid.
So don’t act like it’s a choice between abandoning a child to the elements or terminating your own offspring. Adoption is a wonderful thing. No adopted child wishes to have been aborted, and no sane woman who gives up a child for adoption wishes they’d just killed the thing when they could.

Hmm, I’m altogether sure what you mean, I think I do but.. Anyway, emotionally I’m sure abortions effect persons differently.

I don’t think it’s anybody’s damn business what two people, or if it’s just the one person, decide to do during pregnancy.

Comment by Ardsgaine on 5/10 @ 9:15 pm #
(Stepped away for a bit, and now I’m playing catch up.)
HF, in your #47 you listed a bunch of things that we agree are wrong, but I don’t agree that the bastards who advocate those programs are just being “sinful” in a way that is within their rights. They are violating individual rights, and it is causing people to die. They get to do it because we have insufficient constitutional protection for private property. (Nitpick: I didn’t think there was a “they” responsible for the deaths in France. Maybe you could clarify that for me.)
Dan: I think I understand your position better now, but it’s not clear whether your laissez-faire stance is based on the principle that abortion should in no case be proscribed by law, or if it is based on the principle that societal change must occur through persuasion. If there were enough people in the US to support a constitutional amendment banning abortion (with an exception for the life of the mother), would you support its passage?
Karl @ #99: In the cases where homicide is legal, it is also considered moral. Killing in self defense is morally right. Is that your position on abortion, that even though it is infanticide in the technical sense, it is morally justified?
My position on the use of the term infanticide is that to call the fetus an infant is to beg the question. It’s giving the fetus the same status as a baby. Since there is no case in law where the killing of an innocent is justified, and since there is nothing on Earth as innocent as a baby, baby-killing is always illegal. So when someone calls abortion infanticide, I don’t think that leaves him much wiggle room for saying it should be legal.
Comment by happyfeet on 5/10 @ 9:19 pm #
Oh. Good point. But mostly I think the French were negligent. Prevalence of air conditioning being what it is over there. They never thought to check on those people. Mostly though you can be a lot assured if that happened over here we’d find a “they” pretty damn quick with a documentary getting a greenlight the day after that.

Since there is no case in law where the killing of an innocent is justified, and since there is nothing on Earth as innocent as a baby, baby-killing is always illegal.
So when does a fetus become a baby? Is it not a baby the day before it is born, and then one when it pops out? Is babyhood merely a matter of residence? I personally believe the same laws and criterion should be applied to the beginning of life as is used at the end, that biological life-support is no different from mechanical when the ethics of removal are concerned. An adult patient with a functioning heart and active brain waves can’t be removed from life support, and a fetus developed enough to exhibit the same should have the same protection.

a. that is flatly false. An adult can refuse or by proxy have removed life support in many situations, even ones where support isn’t futile.
b. Children can be taken off of life support in many situations, even when not brain dead – especially when it will be futile.
c. more en point, the “life support” in the case of pregnancy happens to be an actual human being. Women aren’t machines, not bottles.
It’s Not a mechanical repirator, a persons lungs. Not an echmo, a woman’s heart, he blood vessels, her brain. Not a dialysis machine, a woman’s kidneys. Not a feeding tube, a woman’s liver.
If said my child could not have my kidney, there’s no law that can compel me to give it, even if my child were to die. If you gave me money for my eggs or a piece of my liver, you could not enforce specific performance of me handing over my flesh if I refused. If I could save you by hooking you up to my own body and be human life support for you, I could back out of the deal, even if it mean’t you would die. Even if I’m the one who made you sick, by running you over with my car, or giving you the wrong medicine.

#64 serr8d – I’m curious where you get your abortion numbers? Seriously, please let me know. You guys don’t know me (been lurking for years though). I have a bulletin board at my place of work (academia) and a few of us feel it is our obligation to tell the “rest of the story” so I’d love to have a source…
#68 nishi – As a woman, I am always completely floored that folks think the woman’s “choice” comes so late in the game. Am I the only gal on the planet who knows how/when to keep her legs crossed? I get that in some situations that isn’t the issue. And I am certainly no stranger to the powerful effect hormones have on both sexes. But come on! Even my six year old knows (approximately) how babies are made.
#80 cynn – And we’re full circle. Margaret Sanger (Planned Parenthood founder) was way into eugenics.
#154 Ardsgaine – On seeing the pee dipstick turn into a pink plus sign, “Look honey! We’re having a fetus!!”
#179 B Moe – Always curious to me that the liberal crowd thinks abortion should be legal but the death penalty not so much. Perfect solution – allow abortion through 75 years of age. (They’ve pretty much got the other end of the spectrum covered already what with the Right to Die stuff.)

Comment by dicentra on 5/10 @ 11:59 pm #
If said my child could not have my kidney, there’s no law that can compel me to give it, even if my child were to die.
These arguments ignore the fact that conception doesn’t happen without volition. Pregnancy is forced upon a woman only in cases of rape, which is a crime.
In an age where we have abundant information about how children are conceived, and when we have more contraceptive choices than we know what to do with, no woman truly gets pregnant by accident.
All women know from moment to moment whether we want to conceive. We know how to avoid it. We have the ability to avoid it. If, through carelessness or weakness, we conceive, it is barbaric to rip that nascent life from the womb and call it freedom.
We assert that women aren’t walking incubators, but that’s not how Mother Nature sees it. Reproduction is the Prime Directive for all living things. Notice how our reproductive systems do what they do without regard to our comfort or well-being. That our culture no longer sees human fecundity as a positive shows how far off the mark we’ve gone. We should embrace this gift of nature instead of hating our own flesh.
The ability to reproduce is a solemn and sacred responsibility. We offend God and/or Nature by behaving otherwise.
Comment by Ardsgaine on 5/11 @ 12:04 am #
I missed serr8d’s comment at #64 when I was backtracking earlier, so…
Soul, you say? There’s the difference between atheists and godbotherers…we who do, recognize that we have souls.
That’s not necessarily a difference. As an atheist, I still believe that I have a soul, spirit, or whatever one wants to call it. I just don’t believe that it’s separable from my body, nor assigned at conception. I believe it develops over time.
If souls are not ‘assigned’ at conception, then when?
Do you want the government to start deciding what God does and when? If not, then the debate has to be decided on non-theological grounds.

Comment by Little Miss Attila on 5/11 @ 4:23 am #
None of this is easy. None of it. Freedom = good. Abortion = bad. Sex = good. Unplanned pregnancy = a mixed blessing.
I got buffaloed into an abortion when I was twenty (pushy boyfriend thing). I couldn’t hack the adoption process several years ago. So now I’m having hot flashes and figuring out where to go from here.
All I know is that God was good to me, and we didn’t have the usual ordeal at mass today, wherein all the mothers stand up to get their special blessing: everyone stood up, and the mothers were only specially mentioned. I used to cry every year after the Mother’s Day mass. They did hand out flowers to all the mothers on their way out of the church, but I just kept my head down and my hands at my sides, and didn’t give anyone any eye contact.
Comment by Carin- on 5/11 @ 5:15 am #
Strange day for confession – but when I had an abortion, I believed the lie about a clump of cells. If I had known then, what I know now… what I learned when pregnant with my babies – it wouldn’t have happened. Regret. I just want people/women to not regret such a thing. I want girls to know that there is a beating heart. That one day, a six week old baby in their tummy is going to be something they talk to and dream about.
I mostly just get pissed about the pro-abortion propaganda.
Comment by Enoch_Root - twp on 5/11 @ 5:57 am #
Little Miss Attila – If you are going to Mass and receiving Communion, I will take it that you have Reconciled in the Catholic manner. If you have, then you MUST forgive yourself. God knows what is in your heart and His Mercy is vast. Let the dead bury their dead. Forgive yourself as the Christ has forgiven you. Have Faith.
Comment by Cowboy on 5/11 @ 6:36 am #
I’m so sorry, LMA. I will never feel the same way at Mass when we do the “mother recognition” thingy. Isn’t it strange how we never consider how emotionally charged such a seemingly innocuous moment might be?

All of which I appreciate, but matters not to the child. I have been conflicted on this my whole life, what I stated is the rationale I have used to arrive at a conclusion. I did mispeak in asserting the life support issue as absolutes rather than generalities, my apologies. Basically in any discussion on the matter, I feel compelled to speak for the voiceless, and the truly innocent.

Comment by Darleen on 5/11 @ 10:13 am #
;It is when that social more becomes codified into law that is the problem.
Cannot happen in a free society.
one of your many problems, child, is that you say “freedom” meaning “license” when American society is really “freedom” meaning “liberty.”
All behavioral law is based on morals. Murder, theft, assault, fraud, etc. Law is only the floor, those behaviors serious enough breeches of the concept of Liberty (wherein citizens are free to pursue their own happiness as long as they live up to the responsibility of dealing with each other in a voluntary/honest manner) that the force of the state must come into play. There are a lot of immoral behaviors we do not feel the government has a vested interest in regulating.
And what behaviors are/are not codified is always an ongoing process of evaluation in a free society. It is the purpose of legislatures to be responsive to the concerns of the citizenry, with an eye on Constitutional restrictions.
And that is where our society has come to such infighting where abortion is concerned. The usual path to how the law treats abortion was abbrogated by judical fiat in Roe v Wade, and further expanded (new standard of “undue burden”) in Planned Parenthood v Casey. (it should be noted, however that in both those cases the deciding opinions agreed that the state does have an interest once viability occurs)
In the intervening years, however, pro-abortion advocates, like Planned Parenthood, denigrate any regulation of abortion even in 2nd and 3rd trimester … well into the viabilty arena. They keep saying “abortion is a right”, but that is wrong. Language from Casey
A woman has the right to DECIDE to abort, but there has never been anything in the language or Roe or Casey that obligates the State to provide or pay for an abortion.
I should note here that I’m a Reluctant Pro-choicer. I don’t believe the state has any compelling interest in banning elective or theraputic abortions for adult women of a sound mind up to 10-12 weeks gestation. In a way, I consider it a woman’s choice of first refusal. After that, I believe it should be the determination of The People of each state to figure out how to regulate abortion.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 5/11 @ 10:30 am #
I disagree.
I think judicial fiat is a builtin failsafe to protect the rights of a minority tribe against a majority tribe.
A libertarian society requires personal responsibility.
The state should never pay for helath care in a libertarian society.
PP should not recieve either fed fundage or state fundage.

Everybody that is young is our future. The problem with believing too much in your own youth and futureness though, is that eventually you have to realize that you aren’t the youngest future anymore.

- Too bad your mom didn’t feel the same way about abortion as you do thor. Then your unborn spirit could have explained how right she was in her choice.
- But then that sort of “I got mine, me me me” narccissism so typifies the Leftie thinking.
- Personally, I would fight any laws the made it illegal for progressives to annilhilate themselves as fast as possible. Keep up the good owrk. More. Faster please.

Ok that’s a lot ahistorical and afflicting marriage on gays is just mean. Making minorities conform to the matrimonial strictures of the majority is really a lot fascist I think.

Comment by Cowboy on 5/11 @ 6:45 pm #
She’s a lot the future I think and I’m comfortable with that.
You shouldn’t, though, happyfeet, if you really do like her. She envisions herself to be a part of some large, like-thinking tribe, and she is safe in that assumption as long as she never leaves her little nest. But some day, she’ll have to face a world that will not merely parrot back her inanities, and will instead kick her in the teeth.
There are very few places in the world where you can insulate yourself from the rest of us. The state university campus is one, and a government office building is the other. Even there, however, one day you’ll recognize that noone outside of your little enclave pays any serious attention to you–mostly they think you’re exotic, weird, like a three-legged defanged tiger at a low-rent circus.
You’re interesting, but totally ineffectual.

But then of course, the latter is simply “inconveinient”. The Left has raised “feckless” to an art form.

life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and all that jazz.
teh gay pay taxes too.

nah carin, im just sayin that maybee’s kids should unnerstand that ToE has nothing to do with the “origins of life”.
that is a whole other separate science, theory of abiogenisis.

Comment by nishizonoshinji on 5/12 @ 8:25 am #
non-citizens will never be favoured over citizens in judicial rulings.
but the judiciary does protect minority tribes from being oppressed by majority ones.
that is why samesex marriage will become legal…..because teh gay are citizens.
Comment by JD on 5/12 @ 8:25 am #
Let’s try this, very slowly for the nishit. There is this little thing called the Bill of Rights. Same sex marriage is not listed. Nor is traditional marriage. Nor is healthcare. Nor is freedom from religion. There are all sorts of things that are listed. Throughout our history, the Courts have read a few Rights into this, including the notion of privacy. But, no same sex marriage.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 5/12 @ 8:27 am #
Nishi believes that a yet-to-be-born child is a slave.
actually, a parasite, like sarahw said.
and a fetus is not a slave, but a non-citizen.
make an amendment like the 13th if you want fetuses to be citizens.
Comment by McGehee on 5/12 @ 8:27 am #
Straight people are banned from marrying people of the same sex too. Where’s the discrimination, Nishi?
Comment by McGehee on 5/12 @ 8:29 am #
Before the 13th Amendment, the Constitution explicitly prescribed that slaves were not citizens. There is no such provision denying citizenship to fetuses.

Nishi, if you’re expecting the courts to overturn laws against SSM, it’s most likely to be on an equal protection argument. That requires identifying actual, legal discrimination.
You may find judges willing to find legal discrimination based on “we want it,” but those judges are slightly less likely to get on the Supreme Court. If “we want it” is the argument for legalizing SSM, that’s political rather than legal. Which means you have to convince the moties, not the judges.

nishi: Every fucking argument you make about anything is both intellectually sloppy and, more importantly, devoid of simple humanity!
You are as shallow and despicable a person as I have ever seen on the nets. You care not one whit what anyone else has to say or what they may have gone through on a human level. Instead you trumpet you views like some elephant seal on a beach with this idiotic faux authority complex that requires everybody who disagrees with you to be pigeonholed as some kind of “stoopid” religious idealogue rather than a someone who has real human concerns about a subject.
Let me be blunt: Fuck you and your callousness and lack of humanity. You are the living embodiment of Margaret Sanger and the other monsters who thought improving the race by forced sterilizations was not only a good idea, but a shining importance to a better world. You missed your calling as a gulag prison guard.
I’m happy to argue with Ardsgaine about the all kinds of stuff. We have polar opposite views on many of those “messy” topics like religion and abortion. I pay that no mind because I can see the basic “humanity” in what he writes. You are nothing more than than a cue card cyborg, the sort of inhumane “rationalist” who is more than happy to spout the idealized philisophical construct while ignoring and/or laughing at the human consequences.
You used to be merely quirky or annoying. In this thread you have managed to allow your inner monster to shine through. I’m done with you in any manner, shape or form. Feel free to go build a new eugenics initiative for the 21st century, monster, and leave the important discussions to the grownups.

Knowledge about sex = good.

NEARLY six states. The number approaching six is simply too gargantuan to count accurately.

…but the most egregious hole in nishi’s knowledge base is this: She has no idea of her place in the world relative to other people. A consistent thread running through all of her comments is this “us” against “you” theme. She really believes that people outside of her little covey give one good God-Damn about her or her ideas. Furthermore, she believes that, push come to shove, she and others like her shall overcomeour base godbothering ways.
Nishi, the middle America that you so frequently and ineffectually castigate doesn’t fret with you–not out of fear (as you would like to believe) but out of an enormous lack of concern. We tolerate children like you in the hopes that one day you’ll grow up, come back to us and say, “Damn, I’m sorry, I was such an asshole, you were gracious enough to let me spout off endlessly, and while it must have been frustrating putting up with me, I appreciate it and it made me a better person.”
However, you’re reaching the age (chronologically, if not intellectually/emotionally) where your cute is wearing off.
You do not want to wake the sleeping giant that is most of America. We’re busy making stuff, taking care of our kids, going to church, voting.

Comment by Slartibartfast on 5/12 @ 11:04 am #
Your link says nothing about the changing the shape of the curve, nishi. Did you even read it?
But let’s say you were able to train everyone and give everyone an absolute-scale (if there even is such a thing) intelligence boost. Presto, the whole distribution gets renormalized to have 100 as the center, and a fixed one-sigma spread.
Possibly you might raise aggregate intelligence, but that’s a different thing than raising aggregate IQ.

Not really. Heresy is serious, nishi, it has impact, it challenges the status quo, sometimes in beneficial ways.
Associating yourself with heresy is like saying a gnat is an eagle.

If only there were some way to discover whether the Framers might ever have envisioned someone using religious teachings in public school and risk having children indoctrinated. Surely they would have declared war on such a thing, no?
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 5/12 @ 11:31 am #
lolz no, slart….there are like…eleven genes at least that operate on IQ, and there are environmental components.
i think you are likely familiar with skewness and curtosis, right?
speakin of IQ….. that is d.u.m.b. of mccain to feature his 96 year old mother….john mccain sr died at age 59, of heart problems likely exacerbated by his role in WWII.

maybee, the Framers did.
They envisioned a religious majority trying to oppress a minority.
that is why ID will never be taught in highschools.
judicial fiat would strike it down if it ever got that far.

i think you are likely familiar with skewness and curtosis, right?
Irrelevant, really. You can’t influence skewness if you don’t know cause-and-effect. If you’re saying you want to make the distribution more skew (it’s already skew, by definition, even if skewness is slight), you’re only looking to advantage a relative minority.
I like the rising-tide effort better; even if it doesn’t (can’t, actually) raise aggregate IQ, it just might be able to raise aggregate intelligence.
But I also tend to think that the fixation on intelligence is misplaced. The IQ version of intelligence isn’t what you think it is; it’s just what the tests measure.
It’d be interesting to hear exactly what sort of mechanism you’ve got in mind for altering the shape of the population intelligence distribution, though. Breeding programs and herd-culling programs both have cultural difficulties, and are in any case slow in effect. Gene therapy, on the other hand, is still to some degree the great unknown.

Comment by Slartibartfast on 5/12 @ 12:28 pm #
BTW, you have no idea whether any gene operates on IQ; there are genes that correlate to IQ, but none that are known to operate on IQ.
I’d put it differently; maybe you meant that there are genes that correlate to elevated intelligence, which in turn means those genes correlate to higher IQ. More likely, each of these genes contain components that advantage different facets of intelligence.
Personally, I don’t know that training of intelligence the nishi way, whatever that might be, is necessarily advantageous to human survival. You might get a group of supermen that winds up getting atomic wedgies by the rest of humanity, because they simply cannot compete.

I’m guessing that the transhumans are going to have to solve some more difficult problems before they start churning out supermen, such as how to cope with the problems posed by population pressure and sheer boredom. I think Heinlein appreciated the problems you run into with lifespans measured in century or millenia more than nishi or Glenn Reynolds do.

Comment by Rob Crawford on 5/12 @ 1:27 pm #
What’s funny is the assumption that “not transhumanist” == “theocon”.
Hell, no. I don’t buy into the transhumanist claptrap because I know we’ve seen all this before. The Singularity is just the atheist version of Rapture, and about as scientific (hey! look what happens if I extrapolate this curve!!!). The idea of “reason, science, and technology” allowing us to “improve” humanity is straight out of the Progressive/Communist/Nazi playbook — and, inevitably, the folks who want to “improve” people have goals, or means, that require overriding basic liberties.
Reynolds at least I can trust not to want to force people; I trust his libertarianism. Nishidiot? Hell no; she’s more comfortable with the language of the despot than with English — see how easily she declares any disagreement to be the result of being less than her, less than rational, less than human.
Human nature is not entirely fixed, but it’s largely fixed. I can read Xenophon’s Anabasis and see familiar types of people; hell, even the SF authors nishi misunderstands realize that human nature is largely constant. I can see improvements happening, much in the line we’ve had already — healthier, less constriction from our environments, more access to opportunities — but radically altering humanity at the genetic level?
Sorry, no, don’t buy it. You’ll either end up with something that’s not human, or you’ll just have a human that’s a hair healthier, smarter, whatever.

So? McCain (presumably) has 46 chromosomes, 44 autosomes (22 from each parent, making the contribution equal), and 2 sex chromosomes, one from the father and one from the mother. The one from the mother is 2.5 times the size of the one from the mother. Thus, he has more genetic material from his mother (disregarding for the nonce your sophistry about the mitochondria).
Oh, right: you’re innumerate as well as illiterate. I forgot.

my point being, mccain’s dad died at 59, after his health was compromised by a job sharing many similiarities with the job he is currently applying for.
why on earth is mccain’s mother’s health any more relevent than his father’s?
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 5/12 @ 1:54 pm #
ok…im wrong, and SBP is correct, you get 50% of your chromosomal genetic material from each parent.
but since mccain is XY, presumeably, he might express phenotypic characteristics that are sex-specific or sex-limited.
so mccains dad is equally relevent to his mother.
only mccain’s mother didn’t have quite such a hard job.
