[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, the real genetic elites don’t need to use such imprecise and base measures like embryo selection to have intelligent children. Their odds are going to be excellent every time. This is just some inferior stock looking to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. [/quote]

Do tell, who are these “real genetic elites” who have 100% guaranteed intelligent children every time they procreate?[/quote]

The ones who have intelligence running multiple generations back on both sides. More likely to have smart kids and more likely to raise them to be smart kids. And of course, able to conceive them naturally, because that’s what genetic fitness is all about (although with big brains come big heads - so thank Zeus we have safe cesarean sections). [/quote]

That is…not how any of this works.  We all have 2^N ancestors. Mathematically, most of those ancestors fall into the average area of the bell curve. Intelligence isn’t handed down intact like wealth from generation to generation.  There isn’t a secret cabal of Very Smart families who vowed in the 1600s to intermarry only with each other.

Also, the big head = big intelligence theory is disproven by Matt Gaetz.[/quote]

That is why this is still beneficial even if the parents are very smart. It reduces the odds that your kids will be dull. [/quote]
