Indians, Eugenics and the delicate art of creating a superior race of Tam-Brahms to rule the universe While mindlessly googling for the day, waiting for the coffee to drip through a stubborn percolator, I found a site guaranteed to provide endless "fisking" pleasure.. ladies and gentlemen, meet the folks at - An Asian-Indian website dedicated to improving the lives of Asian-Indians world-wide via Eugenics and creating an Asian-Indian Nationalist Eugenic state, preferably India itself My questions, and many mirthful ones bubble up immediately are thus..

1. What the bloody heck is an Asian-Indian Nationalist Eugenic state? As opposed to an American-Indian, or a British-Indian, or a West Indies-Indian.. ?
2. Of course, they would prefer to be in India.. that shows they have no imagination whatsoever.. for a bunch of folks calling themselves Transtopian Singularists (one of their discussion boards led me there, I swear this is real), they appear to be stuck in the subcontinent. If you really want to create a successful Indian Eugenist empire, I would start with the UK or the US. Better gene pool (the smarter Indians usually leave India), the ability to tap into the neverending desire for a middle class for more upward mobility, and what do you get..? A floating Diaspora of Transhumanist Transtopian Singularist Gaia-Indians..
3. I also glanced at one of their sister sites Prometheism.Net. An extreme libertarian voluntary eugenics-based approach to life. Reminded me immediately of Khan Noonien Singh, and almost portends an eugenics war as inevitable. An excessive devotion to spirituality, and being able to achieve godhood through eugenics, as if that some how makes everything better. Just trying to get to God, fellas, nothing to see here.. move along.. I do want some of the same things they want. Consciously directed evolution, for one. The ability of memes to forcefully direct gene evolution in ways not possible before. The part about achieving godhood is a little silly, and discredits serious human clonign discussions. Makes me wonder whether these folks understand the implications of what they propose, and the absurdity of some of their positions.
4. I have to wonder at the same time.. did the eugenics programs of the Nazis start out the same way..? A bunch of very positive mission statements (relative to the political climate), that the atavistical tribal instincts in all humans then proceeded to take down the horrific path we all know so well?

And people make fun of Tranzis.. poor buggers have nothing on these people. Godless adds: I don't think the Nazis were too sensitive to the "voluntary" part, which is the key distinction between modern genetic engineering and coercive eugenics.
