That trait didn't appear in the region, so it could not be selected. It appeared in the east Asia, and were selected.

Someone also commented that we don't have conclusive evidence that some of those characteristics are adaptations to the environment, and could be just genetic drifts. So the shape of the eyes may be just a coincidence and not a real advantage.

Assuming your honesty and good faith on asking this question, the real treasure on our gene pool is it's diversity. Eugenics would, by definition, reduce it. You could assume that it's a low price to pay for health, longevity, strength, intelligence, beauty and so on, but it's not that simple. Even some diseases (~~out~~ or the possibility to develop it) can be beneficial under the right circonstances, e.g. sickle cell anemia can improve resistance to malaria.

It would be great to be able to prevent most diseases before it happens and treat it if it happens (for free, in a universal health care system), but eliminate the genes would be a very bad idea, a healthy specie needs it's diversity to avoid extinction, and we sometimes feel like we are above that risk, but we are not that special.

Technically true

Yeah, but some damage is already done, some contracts with public entities like the military and schools in amazon are now under investigation and may be cancelled.

I think you can block entire instances as a user. But, if not, you can create your own instance and federate with only the instances that you like. Far more work though.

Here: using Thunder.

Is not about how much we have available, is about how much they think they can squeeze us.

I became communist. It does not solve anything, of course, but gave me hope that this dystopian mess that we live in can be solved.

I didn't read the details, just gave an answer that fits for me. Sorry.
