Eugenics Undefended

Post by Tessa K » Wed Jun 02, 2021 12:53 pm

As Adam Rutherford commented on Twitter
This paper by Robert Wilson is brutal - a forensic dismantling of a superficially provocative defence of eugenics, revealed to be ill-informed strawmanning
Although the paper is a response to Defending Eugenics, it's not necessary to have read that to understand this one or to pick up a lot of useful points for future discussion or critiques.

(It's only 8 pages long so it doesn't require a major time commitment)
