I'd thought HN was above calling people Nazis? I've said nothing about race.

If we want a meritocracy we have to be comfortable with genetics playing a role in outcomes.

Personally I've realised that a meritocracy would not be "fair" in the way that a lot of people assume.

Alright, let's talk about eugenics then? After all, it's not just Nazis that had eugenics programs in the newest history: the USA had forced sterilization well into the seventies, so it can't be all that bad.
