Then the eugenics movement was """discredited""" and civilization was doomed to die because of it.
That brand of eugenics was just biased racism though, what the Chinese are doing is going to normalize eugenics and make it more accepted, because it isn't about killing of specific races, its about everyone simply selecting for traits in their offspring that are desirable, and intelligence will be at the top of that list, the era of basically everyone having a 120+ IQ will be a reality in the next century, from there the rate of advancement will really pick up the pace
The species is really so vile because most of us are stupid, but once it basically becomes mandatory for everyone to be smart (not by force but by circumstance as everyone
JUST HAPPENS to be smart) all of the things we hate about human society will begin to fade into history
The more intelligent we become as a species, the less were going to take part in things that are considered to be "degenerate", everyone will be thinking on a higher level, where such base things won't be as high of a priority. They will still be thoroughly enjoyed, but they won't be the be all end all goal and focus of the average human as they are today
I believe even the things that we want to
FORCE into existence (enforced monogamy for example) will ironically just come about naturally once everyone is universally intelligent, as a collective society we'd all rationally decide that its for the best that monogamy become the norm
