It sounds as though you are confusing two different perspectives of ‘worth’, and underplaying the more important one. I think you are making the same mistake as Not Dead Yet, by confusing the undesirability of traits with the undesirability of individual people*. Every human is “special” in that every one has an equal individual right to dignity, before the law and before men. People are valued because they are people, and for no other reason.* This ethic is necessarily presupposed. So in that, I believe GNXP has always put a measure of worth on humans that transcends IQ, beauty, etc. In fact it was Razib and Godless’ classical liberalism that, I believe, was the most important fundamental of the website; the primary thing that allowed race differences to be discussed scientifically and humanistically in a public forum for maybe the first time ever.

*Or what is commonly interpreted as “a soul”. Something I imagine you would be sympathetic to.

To be honest, I don’t see that anyone on Gene Expression (in my fairly long tenure) has declared that people have worth beyond the market value of their brains, labor or sexual desirability and the genetics that give them these traits. Sure we believe in civil rights, that everyone has the right not to be raped and killed, but where has anyone here declared that people have intrinsic worth independent of their market value?

That’s all.
