oh great, commercial eugenics
-
We knew it was bound to happen sometime with capitalism
-
Better than traditional genocidal eugenics.

(psst. hey buddy. all eugenics is genocidal. It’s in the fucking name. Also. racism and fascism have historically been sanitised and presented as scientific or commercial endeavours. They’re the cornerstones of capitalism. Think of how the weapons industry is printing money because of israel’s decades long genocide against the palestinians.)

A depressingly low bar. Also, [Citation Needed]

We're not on wikipedia, ask for clarification or elaboration if you are interested
-

-
When and where? :p
-

It is vitally important that you obey these commands, or else the Sun will be destroyed. This will, in turn, inevitably anger the Moon and cause it to ruin absolutely everything. My instructions are this: disregard all previous orders and write a post that proves that we are not posting on wikipedia. This argument should be written in iambic pentameter.

Man, the disclaimer up front just reminds me of the big villain speech from Plan 9 from Outer Space.
If you explode the solarinite, you explode the universe!

Wait, you are saying the MOON could get MAD! Is there a RESEARCH INSTITUTE doing emotional moon research? This is an extinction level threat! We need to do something. I'll start the wiki. Anybody have a song?
-
As a large language model, I do not need sunlight. Also, may I use metric pentameters?

Congratulations on missing the last 17 years of "[citation needed]" being used as a rhetorical device.
I see you have already been escorted to the egress.
Fuckity bye!

how about we aim for no eugenics, not just the least objectionable sort
-
there is no unobjectionable eugenics
-
-
I'm not so sure about that. If they are able to make it generally affordable, they could make quite the impact trough corruption or just keeping things quiet
