DAVE AND THE CONTRIVED FAMILY | 2008-07-19

Â

This is a brilliant post. Genetic engineering must result in a "contrived and artificial" family.

See how the future pokes its head up out of the ground in surprising ways?

The future is something that is stumbled into. But the unwritten rule is that the beauty and desirability of white skin is eternal. Do you really think Angelina Jolie would ever give up hers?

I think you are confusing genetic engineering with social engineering.

Of course that is correct. I have nothing but contempt for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, two individuals who control inconceivable wealth (to most of us).

And what do they do? They make a big show of following a doctrinaire Communist policy.

These morons have no notion of what it means to be under the boot of doctrinaire Communism and its wholesale and spiritual ruin of every shed of decency and anything that truly makes life worthwhile. I really don't understand how such corruption is possible but the answer is money makes it possible.

But I also know something very few white people know because I have had and currently do have so much close contact with nonwhites in my life.

I know how fervently they want to be white, Asians included.

As you have said, there is only one race that matters to all nonwhite people, and that is the white race. The supreme irony is that this includes nonwhite Communists also.

Nature trumps everything.

Money might make it possible, but money doesn't prevent tragedy. A woman who makes a point of not loving her own children, more than any urchin she can find, is not right in the head.

When people start genetically engineering their kids, they'll want the BEST of both parents. The first step, will be gene selection, being able to choose which attributes to pass on, and which ones not to pass on. This is most likely the technology that will be available first. This isn't contrived, you're throwing the same dice, but weighting them strongly for a particular result. People may not want chance to dictate how their kids turn out, but most will want some familiarity.

Surely some white women who have chosen a black man as a father must look at their children every now and then and just feel a little left out that they can't see themselves in their children's eyes.
