Lower labor costs in the US dissuade increased investment in automation.

Wouldn't it be preferable to have an intervention that allowed one to be happy and content in their birth body? Isn't this the ideal thought-experiment?
Any thought-experiments that take us to engineered wombs for men or body transplants disgust me as well. What sort of engineering would expect the furries, shota or lolis to want?
It wasn't my intent to suggest that everyone already agrees. I wouldn't have thought this claim was particularly inflamitory. What sort of evidence would you like to see that government is only able to perform the possible?
Primaprimaprima response to Ecgtheow that
Black test scores remain low despite decades of effort and millions of dollars thrown at the problem, but the incidence rate of people cutting off their own genitals has skyrocketed...
Is an accurate description of our concensus reality.
Ecgtheow response (a can be true, I'm not sure I'd call it government but I dont think the semantics are important here. For (b the state's influence, not sure I'd call it the state, is substantial but grounded in the possible. Genetics / heritability rule outcomes, while TPTB can influence / move desirability / attempts.
In the same way I'm confident there are interventions that would increase attempts at the SAT, ACT, ASVAB, etc., but those interventions are unlikely to drive attainment for those attempts.
This allows genetics / HBD to be the driving force for attainment / success, while explaining the outcomes we see in other areas (genital chopping).
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. With the right marketing and community (intervention) you can induce people to try. With the application of science and technology and a rubric that helps recontextualize what a 'silk purse' is. Perhaps some nuspeak to paper over the obvious defeciencies. Some under this program would produce an ersatz nuspeak 'silk purse'. Chineese silk producers are unmoved.

indoctrinating them into the culture which The Experts (TM) currently consider "white supremacist".
Wasn't that the plan through the the mid - late 90's? Then it was called academic excellence, or fundamental education something, something.
The cohort of non-responders was too dark and the culture of academic excellence was identified as white supremacist as the performance of the cohort of responders was too light or asian.
That there's a ready made voting block of is a bonus. That TPTB have not been as successful pushing globohomo here is a little interesting. But this is a cohort of non-responders.

Yes, HBDers are less optimistic than classic progressive eugenicists.

Or the government isn't magic. They can only perform the possible.
Getting black kids to want to perform better, possible.
Getting kids to want to cut their dicks off, possible.
Getting black kids to actually perform better, not possible.

In the US due to economics. Meat processing in Europe is more automated.

Having kids is an imposition on the way you want to live your life. Raising children requires putting the good of others above your own in a way that requires serious effort and self-sacrifice
Isn't the trick to want to live your life to facilitate and optimize for children?
Adding one child to our DINK lifestyle was just about possible. Child care was expensive and when he was small the extra stuff when traveling or out was a pain. Once we had two, something needed to change.
Now single income with 4 kids, my wife is a homemaker. We only travel where we can drive. We're we are now in New England this hasn't been terribly limiting.

This must be how PMC and other alphabet people have kids. It's not been my experience. There are waiver laden indoor play space birthdays to be sure. My preference is a grassy backyard with a bounce house and beer on the patio with the other parents.

Do you recall why you desisted the behavior?
Myself around that age, in the early to mid 80's attempting to imitate something I seen, an animated beaver, held my hands in front to mimic it's teeth. An older cousin asked me why I was holding my hands like a faggot. There was similarly themed teasing whenever he saw me. I eventually desisted, despite support from my mother.
In what dimensions would you like to be more masculine? Are you lifting?
What keeps you from being happy?
I had an unhappy decade ~16 - 26. Some was angst or ennui. Too much alcohol, and confused sexual identity didn't help. Also only child of single functional alcoholic lesbian.

How far away do the murders need to be before one's perception of threat can be based on them? Is it distance, does highway vs. city driving matter? Is it accessibility, can criminals ride public transit to murder you in your home?
Does it matter how long the murderous element have been murdering in the particularly murder prone areas of the city, temporal distance / proximity?
I can see on the map you linked that the murders seem to happen south of the river, if I were old enough to recall a time when these areas were less murderous, I might feel less secure than someone who has always known these areas to be murder enriched.
I'm not sure that being the 4th best neighborhood in the ~25th most violent crime laden city is a great comfort. The local MSM is evidently not portraying the local crime with enough context, it's not St. Louis, Baltimore or Detroit.

I can't not drink more Bud Light, or any AB product than I already don't. If they resurrected Spuds MacKenzie and bud girls, the dog and attractive woman could convince me to buy a case for emergencies.

35-40 year old conceiving is 20%
Are these stats skewed by the very infertile? 3 of our 4 children were conceived after 35, all on the first cycle attempted.

Wasn't Ted Heath a closeted homosexual?
Perhaps not wasted and lonely, but missing something fundamental. Procreating and raising children with your spouse seeing yourselves in your children is to many couples with children the whole point.

progressive PMC types
Domestic alphabet people, and their allies.
There were a number of reasons not to prop-up the English, anti-colonialism may have been one. For Suez wanting to avoid escalation and Soviet involvement certainly pictured.
I was happier when our PMC were pushing, free enterprise, free speech and freedom of religion.

Cheney, Bush , Powell, Rice, Rumsfeld, etc. all gentiles. Or in finance/VC: Theil, Balaji, Andreessen, Chamath, Cathie Wood, etc.
Homosexuals and women working outside the home is part and parcel of the coincidence.

Nazis were wrong and bad, but how they came about
There's a meme, "Then for no reason at all everyone voted for Hitler."
Doesn't how it came about, lead often to '30's culture wars and anti-semitism?

Was it really wise to hector the Saudis about LGBT continuously?
Is the hectoring of foreign governments on behalf of sexual minorities beneficial to US policy objectives anywhere? It doesn't seem to be winning many friends in Africa or Asia either, except for vocal degenerates. I've thought this was signaling for domestic alphabet people and their allies.

This was the canard that led to the invasion. In truth the intelligence would have been whatever was necessary to produce the desired outcome.

rate of transmen prisoners
Might this be a lack of capacity?
Many transmen appear diminutive compared to men. Most of the sporting controversy is MtF in women's sports, have there been instances of FtM successfully competing against men?
I don't know that I've high quality evidence for this but my experience has been community and culture. My current community is >90% white. Those from non-white backgrounds tend to be recent immigrants from asia, the subcontinent and africa. Top decile domestic non-whites are absent.
