Probably mixed up empirical and imperial. Happens all the time when dealing with those silly Romans!
OK, Cicero, but I'm pretty sure nobody mentioned Rome..
You mean you DON'T drive a Car brand car, wear Shoes brand shoes and drink this delicious-looking beverage??
It's been long enough, but we've kept it from happening as much as it would in nature. By keeping people who have genetic traits deemed "undesirable" alive and breeding, we're effectively keeping those traits which would otherwise die out with the carriers of those genes.
Don't get me wrong, I much prefer having a society that doesn't just let people die from diabetes or refuse to have offspring with dyslexic people or any such eugenics cruelty! 😂
Btw, great choice of icon for the link! Gotta love Karlach ❤️
British Museum: "what's a country of origin?"
But do you have enough that you knew that Norway doesn't HAVE a president and never did? 🤔
My own ancestry, living family and self is exclusively Scandinavian (specifically Danish), going all the way back to the 1400s, hence the first half of my username 😁
And that's how you became the president of Norway!
This guy would put it there
Again, I specifically said that I prefer to have a compassionate society over a (maybe) genetically superior one that practices eugenics. The tradeoff is unquestionably worth it and you'd have to be very callous to disagree.
Also, I never said that medicine was the sole reason. On the contrary, I said that it's social society (which medicine is one of many results of) as a whole and a general disposition towards keeping your loved ones alive even if they can't hunt. That's much older than medicine. It's literally a cornerstone of what a society is.
